At the Katz School's 2026 Graduate Computer Science and Engineering Research Forum, Jelidah Nayingwa, a student in the Katz School's M.S. in Artificial Intelligence, presented research showing how AI can safely turn plain English questions into the computer code needed to retrieve information from hospital databases, helping clinicians access specific healthcare indicators in seconds instead of days.

Clinicians who need just one data point have two choices. They can ask a software developer to write a custom database query, which may take days, or generate the entire seven-page report and manually search for the single figure they need.

Jelidah's project, SAGE-SQL, or Schema-Aware Generation Engine for SQL, aims to eliminate that bottleneck by allowing clinicians and healthcare analysts to ask questions in plain English.

To ensure accuracy, Jelidah built SAGE-SQL to validate each step of the query-generation process before moving to the next. "I often compare it to constructing a building. It's much easier to identify and fix a problem while each floor is being built than after the entire structure has been completed," said Jelidah.

During testing, SAGE-SQL achieved a nine-out-of-10 exact match with a professionally written hospital reporting procedure and caught and corrected its own error before the report was used.

"By combining domain knowledge with careful validation, Jelidah has demonstrated an approach that could help healthcare professionals obtain accurate data more quickly while maintaining the reliability that clinical reporting requires," said Julia Fang, Nayingwa's advisor and director of the M.S. in Artificial Intelligence at the Katz School.

A small amount of carefully designed noise could help computer models better capture the complex motion experienced by energy-harvesting devices in real-world environments, according to research presented by Penghui Han, a student in the Katz School of Science and Health's Ph.D. in Mathematics, at the 2026 Symposium on Science, Technology and Health.

Han's project, "Quasiperiodic Noise For Bifurcation Mapping And Optimization: Numerical Study of Voltage Output in a Nonlinear Energy Harvester," examines a type of energy-harvesting device that converts vibrations into electrical power.

Energy-harvesting devices often operate in unpredictable environments, and standard models can miss important behaviors as a result. To address this, Han added a tiny amount of quasiperiodic noise, a gentle disturbance made up of several frequencies, that helped uncover previously unseen operating states and provided a more complete picture of the system.

"This work shows that small, carefully designed disturbances can reveal important system behaviors that might otherwise remain hidden," said Marian Gidea, Han's advisor and a professor of mathematics. "Those insights can help researchers find more efficient ways to harvest energy from the world around us."

When most Americans think of Zimbabwe, one destination usually comes to mind: Victoria Falls. Zimbabwe, however, offers much more than a single attraction, with wildlife, national parks, cultural heritage sites and historic landmarks that remain largely unknown to many international travelers.

For Monalissa Zibwowa, a 2026 graduate of the Katz School of Science and Health's M.S. in Digital Marketing and Media, this gap represents both a challenge and an opportunity. At the 2026 Symposium on Science, Technology and Health, she presented "Beyond the Falls: Strategic Tourism Development for Profitable Youth Employment in Zimbabwe."

"Tourism is one of Zimbabwe's strongest opportunities for economic growth because it touches so many different industries," said Zibwowa. "When more tourists visit, they create demand for hotels, transportation services, tour guides, restaurants, cultural experiences and many other businesses. Our analysis suggests that a single U.S. traveler may support between one and one-and-a-half local jobs annually through spending across tourism-related sectors."

The United States is Zimbabwe's largest source of international visitors — more than 109,000 American tourists visited in 2025. "The study found that Zimbabwe's problem is not a lack of demand," she said. "The challenge is converting that interest into actual travel bookings."

Using market research and tourism data, she identified several barriers that discourage potential visitors. These include concerns about safety, complicated visa processes, limited awareness of destinations beyond Victoria Falls and difficulties accessing digital booking options.

Based on these findings, her recommendations include strengthening Zimbabwe's digital presence, simplifying electronic visa systems, improving online booking accessibility and creating marketing campaigns tailored to specific traveler interests.
