Amanda Golden
College of Arts and SciencesAmanda Golden, Ph.D., associate professor of English, Department of Humanities, co-organized a virtual event on Modernist Editing with Byrony Randall, professor of modernist literature and co-director of the Textual Editing Lab at the University of Glasgow. Golden and Jonathan Goldman, Ph.D., professor of English at New York Tech, also gave presentations as part of the event on December 8, 2021.
Batu Chalise
College of Engineering and Computing SciencesBatu 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.
\n\n\n\nAnand Santhanakrishnan
College of Engineering & Computing SciencesAnand Santhanakrishnan, Ph.D., assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, along with faculty members from Stevens Institutes of Technology, were part of a team that was awarded first prize in the Hyperspace Challenge, a business accelerator run by the Air Research Laboratory and CNM Ingenuity as part of the U.S. Space Force’s new SpaceWERX program, on December 2, 2021. The team, using algorithms that are sixty percent more efficient than state-of-the-art methods, is working to develop an artificial intelligence-based system to continuously optimize how earth-based sensors track space objects and anticipate collisions to reduce “space jam” (satellite collisions and traffic).
Pejman Sanaei
MathematicsPejman Sanaei, Ph.D., assistant professor of mathematics, with his former NYU students Zeshun Zong and Xinyu Li, had their article, "Effects of nutrient depletion on tissue growth in a tissue engineering scaffold pore," published in Physics of Fluids on December 2, 2021.
Pejman Sanaei
MathematicsPejman Sanaei, Ph.D., assistant professor of mathematics, had his paper "Tissue model shows cells grown at the top of biodegradable scaffold consume nutrients first," featured in AIP Scilight on December 2, 2021.
Deborah Cohn
School of ManagementDeborah Y. Cohn, Ph.D., interim dean and professor of management and marketing studies, published her opinion piece, "What my research reveals about gift giving," in the Baltimore Jewish Times, on December 1, 2021.
Claude Gagna
CAS / Biological & Chemical SciencewsClaude E. Gagna, Ph.D., professor of biological and chemical sciences, published a peer-reviewed abstract in the journal Molecular Biology of the Cell (2021 December 1; 32(22): ab1.) (P328), entitled "Comparative Morphological and Molecular Biological Characterization of Bone Tissue Using Different Fixatives." The research project involved New York Tech undergraduate students who helped determine which fixatives are best for the simultaneous preservation of overall bone structure, histology, and DNA content.
Niharika Nath
College of Arts and SciencesNiharika Nath, Ph.D., professor of biological and chemical sciences, published her article, "Macrophage Reprogramming and Cancer Therapeutics: Role of iNOS-Derived Nitric oxide," in Cells, on November 30, 2021. Nath's article discusses macrophage types, evidence of the roles of nitric oxide in immunomodulation, and the therapeutic options using nitric oxide-dependent strategies.
Pejman Sanaei
MathematicsPejman Sanaei, Ph.D., assistant professor of mathematics, with his current and former students from New York Tech, Carlyn Annunziata, and Hamad El Kahza, and his collaborator Professor Daniel Fong, presented four talks at the 74th Annual Meeting of the American Physics Society, Division of Fluid Dynamics, on November 21, 2021.
Amanda Golden
College of Arts and SciencesAmanda Golden, Ph.D., associate professor of English, Department of Humanities, gave a lecture on "Scholarly Editing and the Archive" at the University of Huddersfield, U.K., virtually, on November 17, 2021.
