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.

Event and Space Rentals

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.

Community Science Day

Join us at the Advanced Science Research Center on July 18th from 3-5:30pm for STEAM activities and cold snacks! We will have revolving stations combining art, and science, and our interactive visitor center will also be open for exploration. Come explore the five initiatives with the IlluminationSpace Team!

Photonics Initiative Seminar: Michael Scalora

Light-Matter Interactions at the Nanoscale: Harmonic Generation from Metal/Vacuum Interfaces and Novel Aspects of Radiation Reaction Abstract – In noble metals a patina of free electrons extends out into free

Photonics Initiative Seminar: Guancong Ma

Non-Abelian Braiding with Sound and Light Abstract – Many physics laws and mathematical rules are insensitive to order. For example, the addition of numbers disregards the sequence order, e.g., 1+2+3=3+1+2.
