Faculty Spotlight: Talwinder Singh

After years of developing expertise in space weather forecasting and weather modeling, Dr. Talwinder Singh has joined Georgia State University as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.

In his research, Dr. Singh focuses on space weather – a field that examines the conditions in space created by solar activity. To characterize these impacts, he employs simulations using modern tools and available data to forecast coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and solar flares.

His approach combines magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models with machine learning techniques and aims to improve the accuracy of space weather predictions.

Building Pathways for Success: Historic $80 Million Gift to Support Major Efforts to Transform Downtown Atlanta Campus

An $80 million gift from the Robert W. Woodruff Foundation will help Georgia State University begin what is perhaps its largest transformation project ever. The foundation’s contribution will help fund $107 million in upgrades across Georgia State’s downtown Atlanta footprint, a slate of nine projects set to reinvigorate and reimagine the campus experience.

The gift is the largest in Georgia State’s 111-year history, and the largest ever by the foundation to a University System of Georgia (USG) institution.

The Building Pathways for Success Initiative, approved conceptually by the USG Board of Regents’ Committee on Real Estate and Facilities on Tuesday, Nov. 12, includes projects centered around Hurt Park and Woodruff Park, two marquee downtown greenspaces amid Georgia State’s classroom and administrative buildings.
