All Recent Accomplishments

Maryam Ravan, Ph.D., assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, in collaboration with colleagues from Stanford University and McMaster University, has published an article, "Discriminating between bipolar and major depressive disorder using a machine learning approach and resting-state EEG data,” in Clinical Neurophysiology, a peer-reviewed publication, on December 7, 2022.

Batu K. Chalise, Ph.D., assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, with his former graduate student, Daniel Wong, now with Northrup Grumman, published their paper entitled "Detection, Mode Selection, and Parameter Estimation in Distributed Radar Networks: Algorithms and Implementation Challenges" in IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Magazine on November 1, 2022.

Babak D. Beheshti, Ph.D., dean of NYIT College of Engineering and Computing Sciences, had his article titled “A guide to networks for IoT healthcare devices” featured on TechTarget – IoT Agenda on October 3, 2022.

Maryam Ravan, Ph.D., assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, in collaboration with colleagues from Stanford University and McMaster University, has published an article, "A Robust eLORETA Technique for Localization of Brain Sources in the Presence of Forward Model Uncertainties," in IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, a peer-reviewed publication, on September 22, 2022.

Maryam Ravan, Ph.D., assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, in collaboration with colleagues from Stanford University and McMaster University, has published an article, "EEG Biomarkers to Predict Response to Sertraline and Placebo Treatment in Major Depressive Disorder,” in IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, a peer-reviewed publication, on September 12, 2022.

Babak D. Beheshti, Ph.D., dean of NYIT College of Engineering and Computing Sciences, was featured in a video interview explaining why Babak chose IEEE as his professional home and showcasing New York Tech, at IEEE.TV on September 2, 2022.

Qin Liu, Ph.D., teaching assistant professor of mechanical engineering, co-authored a peer-review article entitled "Numerical simulations of the nonsymmetric growth and remodeling of arteries under axial twisting," published in the Journal of Biomechanics on May 27, 2022. This article is the first to propose a theoretical model of artery growth and remodeling under twisting, which extends our understanding of artery remodeling under altered external load.

Robert N. Amundsen, Ph.D., associate professor and chair of the Department of Energy Management, presented “Disguised Infrastructure: Minimizing Visual Impacts” at the American Association of Geographers Annual Meeting, on February 27, 2022.

Wenjia Li, Ph.D., associate professor of computer science, has recently published a conference paper titled "AdversarialDroid: A Deep Learning based Malware Detection Approach for Android System Against Adversarial Example Attacks" on February 10, 2022. In this paper, co-authored by Giuseppe D'Ambrosio, an NSF REU student that he advised during the summer of 2021, they propose a deep learning-based approach to identify malware for the Android system in the presence of adversarial example attacks. This research is partially supported by National Science Foundation Grant (No. CNS-1852316).

Batu K. Chalise, Ph.D., assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, was been appointed to serve as an editor of IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, a major archival journal that advances the theory and applications of wireless communication systems and networks, on December 7, 2021.
