Sarah McGough
College of Engineering & Computing Sciences Dean's OfficeBabak D. Beheshti, Ph.D., dean of College of Engineering and Computing Sciences, was interviewed by Analytics India Magazine on December 23, 2019 about his knowledge of the international technological scenario regarding IoT and 5G. Beheshti also spoke about his role as dean, the background necessary to become a data scientist, the role of MOOCs and STEM education, and the rise of IoT and 5G.
\nGregory Loeven
Capital Planning & Facilities ManagementGreg Loeven, project manager of facilities management, Rich Lampeter, associate director of facilities management, and Bill Marchand, senior director of facilities management, had their video and case study, "New York Tech Utilized Stormwater Management System to Solve Flooding Issues," published on the Storm Water Solutions website on December 19, 2019. The video and case study detail their efforts to design and install a stormwater management system to help alleviate the flooding conditions experienced in the basement of the Serota Academic Center and over a portion of West Road on New York Tech's Long Island campus.
Anthony Dimatteo
College of Arts & Sciences EnglishAnthony DiMatteo, Ph.D., professor of English, had his poem, “Duties Include (Ars Poetica),” published in Cimarron Review on December 10, 2019.

College of Engineering & Computing Sciences Dean's OfficeBabak D. Beheshti, Ph.D., dean of College of Engineering and Computing Sciences, was quoted in a December 8, 2019 Network World article, "5G in 2020: Still just a private party," about the implications of 5G and mark it will make in 2020.
Pejman Sanaei
College of Arts & Sciences | MathPejman Sanaei, Ph.D., assistant professor of mathematics, had an article, “Membrane filtration with multiple fouling mechanisms,” published on December 3, 2019 in the Physical Review Fluids. The article, written in collaboration with Linda J. Cummings, professor of mathematical sciences, Center for Applied Mathematics and Statistics at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, details their simplified mathematical model which characterizes membrane internal pore structure via permeability or resistance gradients in the depth of the membrane, accounts for multiple membrane fouling mechanisms (adsorption, blocking, and cake formation), defines a measure of filter performance, and for given operating conditions, is able to predict the optimum permeability or resistance profile for the chosen performance measure.

Academic AffairsTraci Nickdow, assistant registrar, Mohammed Moizuddin, acting director for institutional research, and Nicole Sheehan, manager of the Advising & Enrichment Center presented "Boosting Your Graduation Rate and So Much More," about the efforts by New York Tech to identify stop-out students that are close to graduation, at the Middle States Association of Collegiate Registrars and Officers of Admission (MSACROA) regional conference in Poconos, PA, on December 2, 2019.
Pejman Sanaei
College of Arts & Sciences | MathPejman Sanaei, Ph.D., assistant professor of mathematics, presented a talk and chaired a session on the effects of particles diffusion and membrane pore elasticity on membrane filtration performance at the 72nd Annual Meeting of the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics on November 26, 2019.
