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."
Beth Elenko
Health Professions/Occupational TherapyBeth Elenko, Ph.D., associate professor of occupational therapy, was a guest editor for a special issue on early intervention published in the Open Journal of Occupational Therapy (Volume 9, Issue 3, (2021) Summer 2021), and sponsored by the New York Tech Department of Occupational Therapy, on July 15, 2021. In this special issue, Elenko highlights current practice and research in occupational therapy with the youngest clients, from birth to 3 years of age, and their families in EI. The issue includes three articles by Elenko, including "Bringing the Family to the Center of Early Intervention in Occupational Therapy," where she proposes integrating AOTA’s core competencies in practice and research for young children and their families in EI, and two “They Said” Q&A features.
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.
