We are proud to announce two more PhD conferrals resulting from ARO grant# W911NF-15-1-0577. 

Omid Askarisichani successfully defended his PhD dissertation with the title of "Explainable Models of Performance on Networks" on 18 Nov 2020 and graduated from the department of Computer Science, University of California Santa Barbara. Always smiling, Omid joined the MURI project in his first term of graduate school and has worked closely with the project PIs ever since. He will join Google Inc. as a Machine Learning engineer for conducting research and development.

From August 24 - August 28, ARO will conduct a review of three MURI teams.

First, on Monday, August 24, we will deliver a final presentation of our research on the network science of teams. We will highlight notable results, including the 80 publications and other impacts generated from our collaborative efforts.
