was still there oh say does that star angled the land of the free and the home of the bra [Music] please be seated my name is anel Caba and I have the privilege of serving as Georgia Tech president before we get started today I would like for us to take a moment to recognize all veterans active duty members and First Responders with us today if you have served in any branch of the US military or have served as a first responder please rise so we can thank you for your service [Applause] thank you thank you so much graduates members of the faculty and staff distinguished guests families and friends my heart is full as I welcome you to the 266th commencement exercises at the Georgia Institute of Technology it is a true pleasure to be together in celebration of these graduates and their academic achievements we have a few few special messages for you today the first one is from one of our graduating students and I'm pleased to introduce nikil Yar a PhD candidate in aerospace engineering who will give the reflection Nik [Applause] [Music] [Applause] good afternoon faculty proud parents guests and my fellow doctoral graduates I remember during my first week here at Georgia Tech I came to a basketball game right here in Mish Pavilion that event was the culmination of a week of activities where I got an initial glimpse into the community here at Georgia Tech around me was a sea of white and gold chance of being a rambling wreck and an electric atmosphere of excitement I'm sure each one of us felt that eagerness and Buzz as we began this PhD journey and so when the first week of classes came around and our work day ended at 11:30 p.m. we said yeah this is fine when the first month of classes was over and our workday was pushed to 2:30 a.m. we said yeah this is okay after years of years worth of classes finally came to an end and we began studying for our qualifying exams we said yeah this is getting tough but as the first year turned to the second the second turn to the fourth and for some of us even the fifth that initial moment of pure joy faded and was replaced by doubts doubts about yourself doubts about whether you could do this or whether you even wanted to do this in those moments of quiet contemplation some of us chose to call our families and loved ones those supporters picked up those late night phone calls to guide us and let us know that you can do this others of us sought the community we had around us at Georgia Tech it was that basketball game at the CRC a coffee chat with a professor or a beer with the folks from the lab that made us feel heard and rejuvenated but most importantly though a lot of us simply looked inward to find that innate strength and resilience to keep pushing onward even when things seemed toughest this degree was not the summit of one tall mountain but the culmination after many many Hills it has been a journey marked by triumphs challenges and countless moments of growth this moment is for all those supporters along the way who gave you that helping hand to get past that Boulder this moment is for all those families who sacrificed it all to ensure that their child became the first doctor in the family this moment is for all those friends from undergrad who kept asking me are you done yet but most importantly though this moment is for you to feel that sense of completion after conquering that life Hill as we venture off into our careers in Academia or industry being a yellow jacket will undoubtedly open many doors for us but when you face a closed door I hope that you remember you finished this arduous Journey are and will always be a hell of a engineer regardless of your major here at Tech and begin dismantling that door to hurdle toward success it certainly is a surreal feeling to go from watching a basketball game in this very Arena to stand before you as we close this journey and Venture off into the next one I could not be more proud and happy to say this with my whole heart congratulations to the graduating doctoral class of 2024 thank you thank [Applause] you thank you nikil and let me um greet your mother and family in India awake in the middle of the night and following this procedures I know they're so incredibly proud of you thank [Applause] you so graduates today you will be joining the impressive family of Georgia te alumni a community of of leaders of innovators of thinkers and doers who are making a difference across our state and around the world many of them are here to celebrate you today are Al I appreciate your accomplishments perhaps more than anyone and they may even be part of the reason as you heard nikil say you're here today to all our alumni joining us please stand up so we can recognize you oh Georgia take alums in the [Applause] room that is great and now to welcome you formally into the fellowship of Georgia Tech alumni I am pleased to introduce Betsy bulat an international Affairs and modern languages graduate of the Class of 2004 and the chair of the Georgia Tech alumna Association Board of Trustees that's it good afternoon doctoral class of 2024 my name is Betsy buat I'm a proud alumni of Georgia Tech and this year's chair of the Board of Trustees of theum Association it's my incredible honor to welcome you into one of the most coveted networks in the world the Georgia Tech Alumni Association you're now part of a family of over 200,000 members while each of you has different background different experiences and we'll go into different Industries we share experiences long hours in the lab overnights in the library and getting good luck for our exams from sideways more than that though we share traits from our time at Tech we share the power of perseverance how to problem solve and how to remain cool Under Pressure Tech taught us that you've worked so hard to put yourself in the position you are in today it's a position of increasing power and privilege use it wisely as Peter Parker's uncle said with great power there must also come great resp responsibility this concept has motivated me since I left tech one way I've been able to give back is through the Georgia TCH Alumni Association the Alumni Association has been behind the scenes throughout your studies here giving you advice whether you ask for it or not celebrating your achievements and raising funds toward your student experience stay in touch with us and get engaged let us celebrate with you when you meet your goals we will provide you with connections job opportunities networking opportunities events on campus and in your local communities and future friendships some of my best tech friends are those I met after I got out you can always call Tech home this is a special place steeped in Tradition and as alumni you will always be part of our family while your time at Tech may be over unless you're pursuing p uh pursuing another Advanced degree the Alumni Association is here with you for a lifetime may your Pursuits be successful your friendships rich and your life be full of Buzz go jackets thank you thank you Betsy well I guess um in the category of know your audience knowing that you guys like numbers here are a few numbers six ,500 degrees will be conferred this weekend as part of the class of 2024 that includes 2600 bachelor's degrees 3,000 master's degrees and 320 doctoral degrees the yes [Applause] [Music] that's the graduates we're going to be honoring this weekend represent 36 countries and a multitude of disciplines and they're great Reason for Hope together all these Scholars know how to build satellites and robots they know how to build Bridges design medical devices they can create and run businesses they can shape better policy they're versed in chemistry in biology and psychology they can mine intelligence for complex data they understand how markets and governments work and what our Collective history teaches us about our future many of them have traveled the world they can communicate in dozens of languages they have learned to listen to others to respect what others have to say even when they disagree they have learned to work with in to learn from people who are different from themselves these graduates they're confident they're capable they're great creative problem solvers they have learned the power of collaboration they have been empowered to lead and that's why they make me extremely hopeful about our future but for all this potential to make a difference there is something I want all of you to remember and that's the two words on our seal right there behind me progress and service these two words Define us as a community and signify our belief in the power of innovation and Ingenuity to serve a greater purpose to improve The Human Condition we don't believe in technology just for its own sake but because of its potential to help people live Better Lives some of you are going into Academia some will join wellestablished companies and will help them do better others may even create your own startup some of you will go to big National Labs you work in government I know you're going to have an impact and be successful whatever path you choose but remember the true success won't be measured by how much money you make but by by the value that you create for others and don't get me wrong money you will make and when you're rich and famous the alumna association will help me find you will make you proud in what will make your family all of us proud is what you did to lift others up and make a difference in our world no pressure as we like to say around here we can do that and I know you are ready to tackle any challenge that might come your way now today we celebrate you your

tumy vice president Institute of communications Becky tankersley director director of communications and enrollment management and our maze Bearer today Dimitri mavus who received the biggest honor of any faculty Jord Tech the class of 1934 distinguished Professor thank you all so very [Music] much there is a reason why I did not introduce the provos or Our Guest which will become clear in a second I know some of you may not believe it but we are all fully aware of how hard we've made to work to cross this stage I went through it myself a few years ago we understand the obstacles that you overcame these past few years and congratulate you for crossing the Finish Line I have indeed played different roles of Georgia Tech over the years I've been a student in a long a parent an adviser now I'm president I even found my spouse be here so I know very well that being a yellow jacket is something exceedingly special Georgia Tech diploma is something you will treasure the rest of your life it will be transformative it was for me and like so many other doctoral students throughout Generations I can proudly say that nothing that I have accomplished in my career would have been possible without the opportunities I had a Georgia Tech and without the people that I met here now it's your turn you are forever connected whether you like it or not you're connected to joria attack for the rest of your life and we cannot wait to see the great things you will continue to do now it's time to look ahead to push forward to go out and make an impact on the world like only Yellow Jacket scan congratulations class of 2024 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] I have a special treat for you your last lecture as a PhD student at Georgia Tech and I'm delighted that that lecture is going to be by a dear friend and colleague Professor Barun de Cola CEO a founder of carb Corporation his journey is one of inspiration and Innovation bar was Sim simultaneously a student researcher and athlete while studying mechanical engineering at Vanderbilt University he earned his Doctorate a Purdue and he's now a 10-year faculty member of Georgia Tech where he's a Trailblazer in the field of carbon nanot tubes in Advanced Materials he has published over 100 peer-review research papers and garnered numerous accolades including the prestigious Allan Waterman award in 2017 under his leadership his company carb has evolved from a small lab to a 20,000 FT Global Production facility right here in Atlanta the company uses recycle materials to create products that prevent overheating in electronics this work is revolutionizing nanotechnology crossy sectors from Aerospace to Industrial power and data please join me in welcoming Barat tund [Applause] Cola thank you [Applause] maybe sound pretty good thank you president Caba uh thank you uh provos mlin Deans The Faculty uh guest congratulations to the class of 2024 I love Georgia Tech students that's a true thing and you are so inspiring to me and congratulations to your partners your family your friends so you have achieved the highest degree the PHD they call this a terminal degree which basically means you've been in school way too long when I graduated my Master's Degree 20 years ago my dad said to me congratulations you're a master now said what could be higher than mastering the subjects of your field he had a good point when you master all the knowledge what can possibly come next but you have learned that Mastery is just the beginning you must be a Pioneer to earn a PhD at a place like Georgia Tech you have learned to dig deeper to find the simplest principles on which knowledge is based then you have expanded this knowledge for others to learn and master my dad is Right Master is a powerful person you can do and achieve a lot with subject and domain Mastery but to be trained in a top tier PhD program like here at Georgia Tech de is to gain a power beyond Mastery is a power to navigate uncertainties the natural uncertainties of life with more clarity and confidence you see nothing will break your Clarity and confidence like adversity people say adversity makes you stronger and I disagree adversity can make you stronger depending on how you are able to respond to it you need several tools like money knowledge networks Faith to respond to adversity in ways that make you really grow grid alone is not enough all human space adversity and we all share challenges you know that connect us no matter where we live how we live how we look what we believe when you see vastly different outcomes across our world and communities it's not because the humans are vastly different it's because the tools that the humans have to address adversity are vastly different so I'm here today to tell you that the way you learn to think search question create receive criticism collaborate and problem solve in your PhD is your greatest tool for facing adversity I only went to graduate school to play my last year of football as a starting fullback at Vanderbilt how I got there from being a walk-on tearing my ACL twice being a student equipment manager twice is an interesting story for another day I plan to drop out a graduate school at the end of the season to pursue a career in the NFL but the last game of my career I tore my ACL for a third time which ended my football career for good now I made it a long way in football and undergraduate studies with discipline grit and Faith as my major tools for Life the six years that followed football included me earning a master's degree at Vanderbilt starting an engineering software company with my father dabbling in real estate with a friend dabbling also in Tennessee politics and then eventually earning a PhD at Purdue University I tried a lot of things because I wanted something that could really make a difference for me and others how however this is where I learned a very humbling experience for my life it's a humbling lesson really the discipline grit and Faith could only take me so far when I lacked some of the basic essential tools like money strong networks to break through the natural adversities that get in the way of ambition see I grew up in Pensacola Florida and went to vanderbild on a partial engineering scholarship I spent my entire undergraduate degree uh chasing seeing a a football dream and rehabbing from torn knee ligaments I did not understand how to build networks when I was at Vanderbilt and going to Vanderbilt put me $70,000 in debt I went to Purdue because I did not like the limitations of my life 20 years ago uh at 23 I was honest with myself about what paths could be available frankly to a black guy from Pensacola that had no access to money had a lot of debt in a tiny Network it was a critical moment for me you know Vanderbilt and playing football in the SEC were great boxes to check but I really needed more I thought if I became a world expert in this new material called the carbon anel tube that in time I would be able to build powerful networks and create opportunities that I wanted for myself in life so I had a plan so my plan was I was going to go to PhD get a PhD at Purdue and then I was going to go to Silicon Valley and I was going to work for a startup as my first step right because of my plan I had a lot of confidence and focus going into my PhD program and I'm sure a lot of you had a lot of confidence and focus for your own reasons going into your PHD programs just like I'm sure many of you had your confidence and focus broken many times by some of your professors who are probably here today look I I went to built which is a liberal art school so I thought I was pretty good at writing and I never forget the first uh Journal paper that I wrote um I was really proud of myself I was like I wrote this paper I said the um co-advisors they're going to love this they're going to be so happy I'm their graduate student and within like a day I got an email back from my one of my co-advisors that said basically this sucks it hurt my feelings and I learned that getting your PhD you experience a lot of direct feedback that hurts your feelings who's with me right but he was right I made the paper better and now it has hundreds of citations and also it's the scientific foundation for the company that I found at carbis which stands for carbon interfaces cooling Electronics my six years in graduate school challenged me to show and showed me that there are simple building blocks to knowledge that can be used to solve all types of problems in life I met many amazing people I built a great Network and I got to consult with several deep deep Tech startup Founders and investors but most importantly I went six years without tearing my ACL again unfortunately I tore my ACL for the fourth time as a professor of Georgia Tech and two years before I started kbit in fact I go on to tear this Li in my knee ligament in my knee seven times during this period of successive injuries my wife and I had two kids I got tenure at Georgia Tech became a full Professor I raised two rounds of equity funding for carbis it was a busy time it takes a lot of discipline and grit to rehab knee surgeries in the background of life it's been about another six years now since my last surgery and all is good now but it turns out that repairing an ACL is not so straightforward when your tibia slopes posteriorly 12 degrees M slopes 18 and we found that we um you know we found this out when I finally got to a root cause in my last surgery the message is you must dig deeper to solve heart problems and earning my PhD empowered me to read over a 100 Journal articles outside my discipline on ACL repairs it helped me ask better questions and eventually find a root cause in the right care team to fix a problem that consume 20 years of my life in pain and Rehab it opened my eyes to the science of plates and how having private sessions twice a week with a great instructor is like magic for my knes PhD thinking is a powerful tool my company carbis is based on PhD thinking we call it the teaching and learning culture we have put over eight quadrillion vertically aligned carbon anel tubes into satellites orbiting Earth now and have built the world's largest production facility as president cabrer mentioned right here in the West End Neighborhood of Atlanta the material that we work on every electronic device that you operate at some point will run through these carb carbon nanot tubes and if you think about AI which is a big word now a digital AI future it really it can't escape thermodynamics which is what I love about it actually and we make a first principles based solution to drive performance and protect these Electronics from heat but I tell you I've had to reinvent myself many many times in this carbit journey and I've had to deal with a long list of setbacks and barriers building carbis requires a PhD thinking process on a daily basis the murder of George Floyd in 2020 outraged nearly everyone I was inspired then to write about the systemic problem that black people face in America because it is a very hard problem that belongs to every American the outcomes we see like George Floyd are strongly correlated to the lack of a basic American requirement that every Community needs a strong manufacturing company that supports large payrolls in tax base back then this was a hypothesis for my observations then I leveraged my PhD thinking my Georgia Tech Network and the allent Waterman award that President Caba mentioned to fund a collaborative study to prove it with data Nationwide data shows that large Advanced manufacturing facilities increase nearly all metrics of Community Health and the benefits are especially strong in majority black communities so what are we missing so here's a solution for Business Leaders and policy makers build large Advanced manufacturing facilities in more black communities to eliminate outcomes like George Floyd and frankly unlock the full power of America thank you and I'm going tell you there's five ready to go PAAD sites in the Pittsburgh yards neighborhood here in Atlanta for that so this higher order PhD thinking can solve personal problem problems it can solve systemic problems and Global problems in powerful sustainable ways today I see a swarm of PhD graduates Yellow Jackets right ready to go out and protect this Colony we call earth based on how you trained your minds I see a swarm that is empowered to defend truth Enlightenment and the humanity of all communities because Justice matters Freedom matters Science Matters Faith matters and I see a swarm with the power to advance and protect it all you see democracy requires sensible thinking your actions you 2024 Georgia Tech PhD graduates your actions can bring our nation and world together and you are powerful when you choose to believe this in conclusion adversity is attracted to ambition you are going to face doubt and pain on your path it is not easy to ask someone to apply PhD thinking to all aspects of their life takes a lot of energy and I can tell you that but that is my challenge to you because I am confident that your time at Georgia Tech has prepared you well so go out and apply your PhD degree but also go out and apply your PhD thinking with confidence we need your help to live better in a better world go jackets and [Applause] [Music] congratulations thank you Dr Cola that was a memorable lesson um we now come to the moment you have been waiting for your doctoral hooding and the conferring of your degrees so walking across the stage and receiving your hood represents the culmination of a great deal of hard work incredible achievement I ask that you after you receive your onstage recognition you return to your seat and show your fellow students the same respect they've given you there are two reasons for you to do that one is of course just an act of courtesy the other one is if you leave before everybody's done at the end of these proceedings I will pronounce some very very important words that will make your degree official should you be absent of this room in the moment I pronounce those words I don't know what will happen to your degree so anyway walk go back to your seat now I'm pleased to introduce the person my colleagues were concerned I was never going to introduce my partner in crime Chief academic officer and provos of Georgia Tech Steve mlin who will present the candidates for doctoral [Applause] [Music] degrees thank you president cabero are you ready are you ready are you ready candidates for doctoral degrees please rise and remain standing please rise there we go president Cabrera I have
