  • A Voice of the Voiceless

    Marijke Gray, Consultant, Kemp-Solutions

    TOPIC CATEGORY: Self-Improvement

    Many people will experience trauma or overwhelming stress at some point in their lives, but far too often, they believe they must endure those struggles in silence. In this compassionate and practical session, Gray explores how leaders, mentors, and community members can recognize the hidden weight that individuals carry and offer support that restores hope, dignity, and connection. MORE >

    Grounded in her lived experience as a survivor of Military Sexual Trauma (MST) and her work in mental health advocacy, Gray illustrates how intentional and trauma-informed leadership helps people feel safe enough to speak, heal, and be heard. Participants learn how to create environments rooted in psychological safety, empathy, and empowerment, spaces where individuals who feel voiceless can begin to reclaim their confidence and agency.

    Through real stories, reflective engagement, and practical tools, attendees discover concrete ways to show support, validate lived experiences, and connect individuals with resources that foster resilience and recovery. Participants leave with a renewed understanding that while trauma touches many lives, no one’s story ends in silence, and leaders can play a powerful role in helping others find their voice again.

  • Multi-scale AI Modeling of Small-scale Turbulence Above Ocean Waves

    Kianoosh Yousefi, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering, UT Dallas

    TOPIC CATEGORY: Educational

    Winds and waves constantly exchange mass, momentum, and energy, shaping everything from daily weather to long-term climate. A key part of this process is the small-scale turbulence that forms just above and below the ocean surface. Despite its importance, scientists still know relatively little about how these turbulent motions work, mainly because they are so difficult to observe and measure. MORE >

    Our work combines carefully controlled laboratory experiments with artificial intelligence (AI) tools to better understand these processes. Using a custom wind–wave tunnel, we created detailed measurements of airflow over surface waves. We then trained an AI model to recognize patterns in the turbulent flow and to link them with wave properties that can be measured more easily. This approach allows us to reconstruct the small-scale turbulence that drives air–sea exchanges. By capturing this missing piece, our work opens a pathway to more accurate forecasts of weather and climate, while also helping us understand how the ocean and atmosphere interact at their boundary.
