Accomplishments are listed by date of achievement in reverse chronological order, with the most recent first.
Nicole Calma-Roddin
College of Arts & Sciences, Department of Behavioral SciencesNicole Calma-Roddin, Ph.D., assistant professor of behavioral sciences, had her article, "Music, Language, and The N400: ERP Interference Patterns Across Cognitive Domains," published in Scientific Reports on July 8, 2020. The article examines electrical responses of the brain (in the form of EEG/ERPs) linked to long-term memory processing. Results showed evidence of interference effects between ERPs elicited by music and language stimuli, suggesting shared neural processing across these domains.
Radoslaw Nowak
School of Management School of Management Human Resource StudiesRadoslaw (Radek) Nowak, Ph.D., assistant professor of human resource studies, has his research on strategic management in the healthcare industry “Process of strategic planning and cognitive diversity as determinants of cohesiveness and performance,” published in Business Process Management Journal on July 7, 2020. The study's findings reveal that business organizations must encourage their employees to participate in the process of strategic planning. Such a participatory goal-setting process will increase collective support for the organization's strategic objectives, which leads to better business performance.
John Hogan
College of Arts & Sciences College of Arts & Sciences Interdisciplinary StudiesJohn Hogan, Ph.D., adjunct assistant professor of interdisciplinary studies, had his book, The Tragedy of the Athenian Ideal in Thucydides and Plato, published by Lexington Books on July 1, 2020. The book was published as part of a series of Interdisciplinary approaches to ancient Greek studies with Professor Gregory Nagy of Harvard University as the series editor.

Chinmoy Bhattacharjee
College of Arts & Sciences College of Arts & Sciences PhysicsChinmoy Bhattacharjee, Ph.D., assistant professor for physics, had his article, “On Beltrami States Near Black Hole Event Horizon,” published in AIP on July 1, 2020. In this article, he describes how the study of plasma dynamics near black hole event horizon. Plasmas at certain regions near black hole event horizon exhibits properties analogous to a superconductor.
Chinmoy Bhattacharjee
College of Arts & Sciences College of Arts & Sciences PhysicsChinmoy Bhattacharjee, Ph.D., assistant professor for physics, had his article, “Classifying Diamagnetic States of Plasma Near Schwarzschild Event horizon: Local Approximation” published in Science Direct on July 1, 2020. In his article he describes how magnetic field structures are characterized by two distinct physical parameters which can be used to predict different physical phenomena near black hole event horizon.
