Researchers from five universities, including The City College of New York, will share a $700,000 New York State Education Department grant to develop a diverse educational leadership pipeline. This Diversity Leadership Initiative, as it is known, is a multi-pronged effort to address the shortage of diverse and well-prepared K-12 school leaders who are ready to support varied student learning needs. Based at Stony Brook University, the grant will enable the creation of an online leadership preparation program to provide support to educators through a number of programs. The Initiative is a
Mark A. Willis and Carol A. Willis have donated a gift to the Michael Sorkin Visiting Distinguished Lecturer fund at The City College of New York’s Bernard & Anne Spitzer School of Architecture . The new position will allow a distinguished senior designer or scholar with expertise in urbanism to spend a semester at the Spitzer School and teach a seminar or studio. The lectureship is in keeping with the vision of Michael Sorkin, who passed away suddenly in March 2020. The donors pledged $25,000 which they offered as a match to inspire contributions of $10,000 or less. Encouraging those who can

Helium gas, most commonly known as the substance used to inflate floating balloons, or as the inhaled party gimmick that alters the human voice to a Munchkin-level pitch, is vital for its many applications in many areas of scientific research and medicine. It is an essential part of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) imaging. NMR machines use high powered magnets to create an electromagnetic field which allows scientists to visualize the structure of individual molecules. The process generates a great deal of heat. Helium in liquid form exists at temperatures of −452.20 °F (4.15° K). In this
The City College of New York’s Grove School of Engineering is partnering with three leading Japanese institutes and Columbia University on a mission to innovate 5G/6G communications by developing a Floating Cyber Physical System (F-CPS). Kyushu Institute of Technology (Kyutech), KDDI Research, Inc., and the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) are The City College’s Japanese collaborators in the project funded by a grant of nearly $1million by NICT. “The project aims to process spatial and temporal data for the applications by allowing the flexible transfer of

President Joe Biden has awarded the National Medal of Science to Myriam Sarachik (posthumously) and Sheldon Weinbaum, two of the most distinguished researchers and educators of their generation who, collectively, spent more than a century on faculty at The City College of New York. They were among nine recipients of the medal honored at the White House. Established in 1959 by the U.S. Congress, the National Medal of Science is the highest recognition the nation can bestow on scientists and engineers. The presidential award is given to individuals deserving of special recognition by reason of
Funded by a $799,352 U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) Office of Science grant, research is underway at The City College of New York to fundamentally advance understanding of the critical processes in plasma-based anti-/de-icing approaches and plasma-assisted additive manufacturing and coating technologies. The three-year project is led by Yang Liu, assistant professor in the Grove School of Engineering and an expert in experimental fluid mechanics. According to Liu, plasma-droplet interactions have been recognized as the fundamental mechanisms of many industrial and natural processes, including
Preparing for a future in which artificial intelligence (AI), networked systems, autonomous vehicles (AVs) and connected AVs (CAVs) are integral to society, The City College of New York is launching an international program to train select students in mastering Avs. The three-year project -- in partnership with Turkey’s Istanbul Technical University (ITU) and California-based autonomous bus company ADASTEC Corp – is funded by a $300,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant. “Future societies will depend more and more on AI and networked systems, and, in turn, on AVs and CAVs for many
