Jonathan Goldman
HumanitiesJonathan Goldman, Ph.D., professor of English, Department of Humanities, published the article "Revisiting Dyckman Oval, A Lost Landmark From the Heyday of Black Baseball" in Atlas Obscura, on October 1, 2021.
Kate E. O'Hara
Interdisciplinary StudiesKate E. O’Hara, Ph.D., associate professor of interdisciplinary studies, presented "Interconnected and Emerging" at the 6th Annual International Conference on Critical Autoethnography in Melbourne, Australia on September 30, 2021. In her session, O’Hara presented virtually about the interconnectedness of her shared experiences with her undergraduate students as they emerged from a global pandemic. She spoke of personal context, juxtaposed and connected to cultural, political, and social understandings. O’Hara also asked participants to explore their own socially constructed concepts of space, place, and time in relation to “normalcy.”
Chinmoy Bhattacharjee
PhysicsChinmoy Bhattacharjee, Ph.D., assistant professor of physics, published his paper, Gravitomagnetic vorticity generation in black hole accretion discs: a potential spatial constraint on plasma flow stability, to Oxford Academic's Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, on September 4, 2021.\nBhattacharjee's paper proposes a new source of magnetic field and flow generation near a Black hole accretion disk. This new source is a consequence of a general relativistic effect called frame dragging which churns the background space and time near a Black hole. Bhattacharjee's result provides a mathematical basis to a phenomena predicted back in 1992 by the astronomers.
Sophia Domokos
College of Arts and Sciences/PhysicsSophia Domokos, Ph.D., assistant professor of physics, had her paper "Holographic hadron masses in the language of quantum mechanics," published in the European Journal of Physics on August 23, 2021. The paper, co-written by Robert Bell, Ph.D., visiting assistant professor of mathematics, and two New York Tech undergrads, Trinh La, and Patrick Mazza, describes how to translate aspects of string theory's mathematically and conceptually complex "holographic duality" into the simpler language of quantum mechanics.
