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.
Using Cellulose to Store and Harvest Energy Abstract: This talk will cover the use of cellulosic materials for the harvesting and storage of energy. The talk will cover the history
My lab is interested in elucidating the activity of virulence factors from pathogenic bacteria so that we can gain novel molecular insight into eukaryotic signaling systems. One of these factors

Dr. Marc Serra Garcia (AMOLF) Physical computing in metamaterials Abstract - There is a significant range of physical phenomena—from nonlinear elasticity, to symmetry, noise, topology, and disorder — that are
Armando Genco (Politecnico di Milano) Ultrafast dynamics of coherent exciton-polaritons in van der Waals semiconductor metasurfaces Abstract - Metasurfaces based on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have emerged as a promising platform
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.
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
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
