UMBC physicist wins Amazon award for AI-orchestrated scientific assistant Physics Co-Pilot to be an AI assistant for physics research

Fabio Anza, an assistant professor in UMBC's Department of Physics, Quantum Science Institute and Cybersecurity Institute, has won an Amazon Research Award to develop Physics Co-Pilot—a scientific AI assistant that combines large language model orchestration with reliable computational algorithms to address critical bottlenecks in modern physics research.
Physics Co-Pilot takes a fundamentally different approach from current AI code generation systems. Rather than having language models write code—which can produce unreliable results—the system uses LLMs only for natural language understanding, while delegating all computational work to pre-written, validated algorithms.

After a short hiatus, Omicron Delta Kappa Leadership Honor Society has returned to UMBC! On December 3, 2025, 44 students and one circle coordinator were initiated into the national organization, which has been at UMBC since 1981. These 45 initiates join over 350,000 members globally and over 750 UMBC alumni, faculty, and staff within our UMBC Circle. 

Omicron Delta Kappa (ODK) is a premier national leadership honor society founded in 1914 that recognizes superior leadership and character across campus life, including academics, athletics, service, and arts. It is highly selective, with members chosen from the top 35% of their class (juniors, seniors, and graduate students). 

The organization looks forward to success in the five leadership pillars of campus life as dedicated by the national organization: Academics and Research, Athletics, Service to Campus and Community, Communications, and Creative/Performing Arts. Led by the student Executive Board, including Spencer Hupe, Samantha Bennett, Ethan Black and Audrey Grutzik, ODK is committed to making an impact through volunteering and collaboration this semester. 

Any UMBC staff or faculty member that is already a member or is interested in becoming a member of ODK can reach out to Circle Coordinator Jen Ewing Fox (jenewingfox@umbc.edu) or advisor Alicia Ryan (aliciar2@umbc.edu) in Student Engagement.

Taking the Mystery out of Application Review
Streamlining the Application Review Process

As a reminder beginning February 2, 2026 hiring departments will have access to review nonexempt applications in New status.  The hiring manager or search committee chair will review the applications for minimum qualifications prior to forwarding to the search committee. 

Any hiring department with a nonexempt position that is currently active in PageUp will continue to be sent reviewed applications by the Talent Acquisition team until the position is filled.

A new resource document is available on the HRSTM website outlining the process for reviewing applications including the substitution chart and calculation for pro-rating part-time experience.  This is a great resource for both nonexempt and exempt staff positions.

Resource document:  How to Review Applications for Minimum Qualifications

Please contact hrtalent@umbc.edu if you have any questions.
