Research Information Series

As an effective means of increasing collaboration among researchers from various disciplines, the Research Information Series (RIS) was instituted in 2016. A series of lectures where faculty members share their research and increase interaction across disciplines are held throughout each semester. Thirteen RIS seminars have been conducted thus far, with over 200 faculty, staff, and graduate students attending. The RIS seminars are particularly valuable to newer faculty members who are able to get a multi-disciplinary view of research at GSOE, interact with school-wide faculty, and showcase their research accomplishments as well.

The 2017-2018 academic year featured the following talks and speakers:

Bone Multi-Scale Mechanics
Dr. Alessandra Carriero, Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering, CCNY

Human Perception for Multidimensional Data Visualization
Dr. Ronak Etemadpour, Assistant Professor, Computer Science, CCNY
