Amanda Golden
College of Arts & Sciences EnglishAmanda Golden, Ph.D., associate professor of English, Department of Humanities, was Interviewed for two episodes of the podcast Ear Read This on August 13, 2021. One episode focused on the poem “The Colossus” (1959) by Sylvia Plath, and the second episode focused on Golden's monograph, Annotating Modernism: Marginalia and Pedagogy from Virginia Woolf to the Confessional Poets (2020): “'It is Sort of Taboo': Amanda Golden on Writing in the Margins."
Sophia Domokos
College of Arts and SciencesSophia Domokos, Ph.D., assistant professor of physics, presented her paper "A Pedagogical Introduction to Holographic Hadrons," at the AAPT Summer Meeting on June 25, 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 string theory's holographic duality can be translated into the language of quantum mechanics.
Pejman Sanaei
MathematicsPejman Sanaei, Ph.D., assistant professor of mathematics, was awarded a $204,085 grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences on June 18, 2021 to study "RUI: Asymptotic and Numerical Techniques in Mathematical Modeling of Membrane Filtration."
Yusui Chen
PhysicsYusui Chen, Ph.D., assistant professor of physics, published an article entitled “Dynamical quantum phase transitions in the spin-boson model” in Optics Express on July 13, 2021. This research work discovers dynamical quantum phase transitions in the few-body quantum systems in a strong non-Markovian environment.

Loehlin, University of Texas, Austin. The chapter traces the influence of early Twentieth Century experimental fiction on Stoppard's plays.
\nPejman Sanaei
MathematicsPejman Sanaei, Ph.D., assistant professor of mathematics, had his article, "Flow and fouling in elastic membrane filters with hierarchical branching pore morphology," published in Physics of Fluids on June 18, 2021.
Jonathan Goldman
CASJonathan Goldman, Ph.D., professor of English, Department of Humanities, presented the paper, "Failing for Joyce: De Oliveira's 'Je rentre la maison'," at The 27th International James Joyce Symposium on June 14, 2021. The presentation continued Goldman's analysis of the way Joyce's Ulysses is used in popular and visual cultures.
Amanda Golden
College of Arts and Sciences EnglishAmanda Golden, Ph.D., associate professor of English, chaired the roundtable "Modernisms--Xtended: Bringing Extended and Virtual Reality (XR/VR) into a Virginia Woolf Seminar" at the Annual Conference on Virginia Woolf, held virtually by the University of South Dakota on June 11, 2021. The session focused on the work of California State University, Fresno Assistant Professor J. Ashley Foster's advanced undergraduate and graduate students, who created XR/VR exhibitions interpreting modernist texts. The exhibitions are each in rooms, as part of a virtual exhibition hall. Golden, who was invited to one of the class sessions as a guest speaker, also curated a room. The conference is holding virtual receptions when attendees can tour the rooms.
