The award recognizes\u0026nbsp;innovative research that is in a direction that is relatively new to the faculty member. The Cullen-Peck award is made possible by a generous gift to the College of Sciences from alumni Frank H. Cullen (B.S. in Mathematics with Honors 1973, M.S. in Operations Research 1975, Ph.D. Industrial\u0026nbsp;Engineering 1984) and Libby Peck (B.S. in Applied Mathematics 1975, M.S. in Industrial\u0026nbsp;Engineering 1976).\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch3\u003EMolei Tao\u003C\/h3\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAssociate Professor Molei Tao\u0026#39;s research is primarily concerned with\u0026nbsp;control systems characterized by multiple scales, geometric structures, and randomness.\u0026nbsp;Prof. Tao\u0026#39;s\u0026nbsp;group addresses both scientific curiosity and engineering practicality, from studying\u0026nbsp;extrasolar and Solar planetary dynamics, the engineering problems of energy transfer and harvest, rare events quantification, the resonant control of microscopic systems, to\u0026nbsp;the interplay between dynamics and machine learning.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EPrevious recipients of the Cullen-Peck Scholar Award\u0026nbsp;include:\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E2014 Sung Ha Kang\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E2017 Anton Leykin\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E2018 Jen Hom\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E2019 Greg Blekherman\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Molei Tao is being recognized for excellence in research with the Cullen-Peck Award."}],"uid":"34518","created_gmt":"2022-01-11 19:31:18","changed_gmt":"2022-04-01 17:18:07","author":"sbarone7","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2022-04-01T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2022-04-01T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"639286":{"id":"639286","type":"image","title":"Molei Tao ","body":null,"created":"1600442893","gmt_created":"2020-09-18 15:28:13","changed":"1600442893","gmt_changed":"2020-09-18 15:28:13","alt":"","file":{"fid":"243067","name":"Molei Tao.png","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Molei%20Tao.png","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Molei%20Tao.png","mime":"image\/png","size":279802,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/Molei%20Tao.png?itok=Cp1Egh99"}}},"media_ids":["639286"],"groups":[{"id":"1279","name":"School of Mathematics"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"173647","name":"_for_math_site_"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:comm@math.gatech.edu\u0022\u003ESal Barone\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
