Chair and Florence Harkness Professor of Religion @Case Western Reserve University - College of Arts & Sciences

Since 2015, Tim has developed a passion for natural language processing and machine learning as they related to the academic humanities. He recently completed the five-course series taught by Charles Severance (University of Michigan via Coursera), on the programming language of Python, and is collaborating with scholars at Iliff School of Theology, the University of Denver, and his own university on projects involving unsupervised machine learning and text generation (“bots”), neural machine translation (NMT), and Markov chain processes. Check out his @KJVBot (generates at tweets King James Version-like biblical verses based on the KJV Bible) and @EmilyMarkovson (a poetry bot that generates and tweets four line poems based on Emily Dickinson’s complete works).

Professor Gurkan brings together Physics, Materials, Chemistry, Sustainability, and Art through her work in Energy Storage Energy Lab at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) focuses on the design of nonflammable electrolytes based on ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents for energy storage and conversion, with an emphasis on the fundamental understanding of the electrode-electrolyte interactions, physical properties, ion solvation and mobility. Ionic Liquids (ILs) are salts at liquid state and they have unique properties such as wide electrochemical window, nonflammability, negligible volatility and wide liquidus range which distinguish them from molecular solvents. Their properties can be tailored towards a specific application. Therefore, the development of structure-property relations are essential for the bottom-up approaches to realize renewable energy systems.
