Convening meetings, workshops, seminars, and public programs is a key part of the mission at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center promoting collaboration between campus-based faculty, ASRC faculty, theorists, and experimentalists across New York City.
The ASRC offers event and meeting spaces that can accommodate up to 100 guests for your next conference, reception, meeting, workshop, film shoot, or private event.
Join us for The Brain and The Environment Family Night at the CUNY ASRC on November 18th from 4:30 to 6:30 PM! This fun and educational evening will explore how the environment affects the brain through hands-on science activities for all ages. Guests will have the opportunity to see live EEG demonstrations where you can
Dynamics and Evolution of Glutamate Transporters Glutamate transporters in the human brain remove the neurotransmitter glutamate from the synaptic cleft, enabling repeated cycles of neurotransmission and preventing glutamate-induced excitotoxicity. These transporters are ancient proteins that, in prokaryotes, serve to import amino acids as nutrient sources from the environment. Across evolution, glutamate transporters have diversified to
Abstract: Materials Synthesis Using Low Temperature Plasmas – from energy storage to superconductivity Plasmas comprise of a quasi-neutral assembly of gaseous ions and electrons which exist at high temperatures (fusion) or low pressure (sputtering, fluorescent lamps etc.), has been the workhorse for manufacturing semiconductor materials in the last 50 years. This talk will introduce a
Dr. Siddhartha Ghosh, Northeastern University Acoustic wave microsystems for chip-scale RF and optical signal processing Abstract: Acoustic waves are well-suited for a variety of signal processing applications including RF filtering and optical modulation. Advances in material and fabrication capabilities have enabled the demonstration of chip-scale subsystems in which phonons can exhibit strong interactions with a
