Happy Holidays & Happy New Year from the @GroupHipe at @txst. Thanks again to the great team of students throughout the year! Here’s to more breakthroughs (and fewer bugs) in 2026. #TXST #Engineering #Research #AI #HPC

🎓 Congrats to Zaheen Afroz Simin! MS done in summer, victory walk in fall. Timing optional. PhD journey unlocked. 🚀

Another strong Fall 2025 for the group. Grateful for this crew and the momentum we’re carrying into the new year. PhD: Simin Thesis proposals: Erich, Rakin USDA: Jillian, Kevin, Alexandra, Isabela, Nathan, Utsav, Pawan, Susan, Tanvir, Sakif UWBG: Javier Clutch class sub: Enes

A little late: Javier Flores is joining the HiPE group via the CHiPS Act to work on #Semiconductor #AI Modeling and #MolecularDynamics Simulation support. Welcome! #physics #engineering #deeplearning #mdsimulations #research #txst

The morning walk to #SC25 was amazing, the gala is getting ready, tutorial in building agents was productive
