Vidita Gawade
School of Management, Department of Business & Quantitative AnalyticsVidita Gawade, Ph.D., assistant professor of business and quantitative analytics in the School of Management, presented a conference proceeding paper to the 2024 Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers Conference held in Montreal, Canada, on May 19, 2024. The paper and presentation were titled "The Impact of Investment in Technology and Learning Techniques in Work Design and Ergonomics Lab for Diverse and Inclusive Interest of ISE Students in Human Factors and Ergonomics."
Jonathan Goldman
College of Arts and SciencesJonathan Goldman, Ph.D., professor of English, Department of Humanities, co-edited a special journal issue of The Modernist Review, "James Joyce Studies and Safety," published on May 17, 2024. The issue includes a co-written introduction. Deviating from the typical The Modernist Review structure, this issue reproduces transcripts and discussions that were held at the Making Joyce Studies Safe event.
Eugene Kelly
College of Arts and SciencesEugene Kelly, Ph.D., adjunct professor in the Department of Humanities, published a paper, Scheler on the Concept of Productive Imagination in His Phenomenology and Metaphysics, in the International Journal of Social Imaginaries, on May 17, 2024.
Jonathan Goldman
College of Arts and SciencesJonathan Goldman, Ph.D., professor of English, Department of Humanities, co-authored an article entitled \n"Why Student Protests Are 'Good for the Jews' and a Congressional Crackdown on Israel Criticism Is Not" on May 16, 2024. Goldman talks about how student protesters remind us of the age-old Jewish tradition of questioning authority and speaking truth to power.
Sophie Christman
HumanitiesSophie Christman, Ph.D., visiting assistant professor of humanities, held a microgrant discussion on "Democracy and Public Health" in spring 2024 that examined issues of population healthcare for Humanities New York.
Evan Shieh
SoADEvan Shieh, M.AUD., assistant professor of architecture, was invited to serve on the jury panel of the 2024 "Non-Architecture Form Follows Life Competition," alongside five other international practitioners and academics. Registration for the publication began on May 1, 2024, and the date set for jury consideration of submissions was August 30, 2024.
Chinmoy Bhattacharjee
PhysicsChinmoy Bhattacharjee, Ph.D., assistant professor of physics, published his paper, "Hybrid electrostatic waves in linearized gravity," in the Journal of Plasma Physics, on April 29, 2024. The article explores the propagation of electromagnetic waves in plasmas near compact objects with magnetic and gravitomagnetic fields.
Milan Toma
College of Osteopathic MedicineMilan Toma, Ph.D., assistant professor of clinical sciences, along with three NYITCOM students, collaborated with the Ferrara Center for Patient Safety and Clinical Simulation to publish the study titled, "Enhancing patient safety through integrated sensor technology and machine learning for bed-based patient movement detection in inpatient care" in the journal Artificial Intelligence in Health on April 23, 2024. The data was collected through sensors that detect movements typical of bedridden patients. Then, the data was analyzed using AI machine learning algorithms to identify and categorize the movements for enhanced patient safety.
Jeannette Sordi
