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.
Dr. Arthur D. Yaghjian (Electromagnetics Research) Robust Field-Based Antenna Quality Factor Abstract – New field-based quality factors Q(ω) are derived for antennas with known fields produced by an input current. These Q(ω) are remarkably robust because they equal the input-impedance bandwidth quality factor QZ(ω) when the input impedance is available. Like QZ(ω), the field-based Q(ω)
EvapoFlex: Water-responsive Materials for Evaporation Energy Harvesting Many important physiological functions of living organisms (e.g., plant seed dispersal, bacterial spore activation) rely on water-responsive (WR) materials that mechanically deform in response to changes in relative humidity. Recently, biological WR materials have been shown to generate significantly higher energy actuation compared to all known animal
Abstract: Recent advances in artificial intelligence have addressed a long-standing question in protein biophysics: What is the relationship between a protein’s primary sequence and its native three-dimensional structure? On the other hand, the process by biosynthesis or following their denaturation is perilous, complex, and much less predictable. Many proteins misfold, a process which can sometimes
Dr. Weidong Zhou, Photonics Center, University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) Scaling towards high-power single-mode PCSELs and PCSEL Arrays (Photonic Crystal Surface-Emitting Lasers) Abstract When it was first invented 60 years ago, the laser was described as “A solution looking for a problem”. Few predicted that lasers would ultimately support multi-trillion-dollar photonics-enabled markets today. Based
