Yusui Chen
CASYusui Chen, Ph.D., assistant professor of physics, gave a talk about the research on superconducting piezoelectric-optomechanical materials at the American Physical Society March Meeting on March 17, 2021.
\nYusui Chen
College of Arts & Sciences College of Arts & Sciences PhysicsYusui Chen, Ph.D., assistant professor of physics, published an article entitled “Impact of the central frequency of environment on non-Markovian dynamics in piezoelectric optomechanical devices” in Scientific Reports on March 10, 2021. This research work, co-authored by Peng Zhao, a New York Tech CoECS master's student and research assistant in the lab of Aydin Farajidavar, Ph.D., discovers a quantitative relation between the central frequency of the environment and the behavior of quantum entanglement in the steady-state of the piezoelectric optomechanical devices in the presence of a non-Markovian environment, which can be applied in the fields of electric/ optical switches and implantable devices, and long-distance distribution in a large-scale quantum network.

Kate E. O'Hara
College of Arts and SciencesKate E. O’Hara, Ph.D., associate professor of interdisciplinary studies, published her chapter, “Bring Us Back: Photographs for Meaning Making and Knowledge Production,” in the edited volume, Doing Authentic Inquiry to Improve Learning and Teaching, published by Brill Publishing on December 7, 2020. O’Hara’s chapter is narrative style, relating the process and pedagogical methods for engaging students in critical reflection, meaning-making, and knowledge production through the use of visual and textual heuristics.
