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. Junichiro Kono, Rice University Cavity-Dressed Quantum Matter Abstract - There has been a growing realization that the properties of a material can be modified just by placing it in an optical cavity. The quantum vacuum fields surrounding the material inside the cavity can cause nonintuitive modifications of electronic states through ultrastrong vacuum–matter coupling, producing a
Register HERE! Space is limited. Abstract: Molecular self-assembly based on coordination chemistry has made an explosive development in recent years. Over the last >30 years, we have been showing that the simple combination of transition-metal’s geometry (typically, a 90 degree coordination angle of Pd(II) center) with organic bridging ligands gives rise to the quantitative self-assembly
Mapping and modeling the impact of protein biochemical variation on growth rate phenotype Individual proteins can be expressed, purified, and exquisitely characterized in terms of their biochemical and biophysical parameters in vitro. However, the quantitative relationship between these parameters and complex phenotypes like growth remains mysterious. For example, what values of protein abundance, thermal stability
Join us for a special talk featuring Dr. Antonio Aubry, Instructor, Department of Neuroscience, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Attend in person or join us on Zoom! Please refer to the event flyer for more details.
Register HERE! Space is limited. About: Strategic challenges like accelerating climate change, energy transition, urbanization, adoption of artificial intelligence, and the need for global pandemic warning are all growing in urgency, in complexity, and in their need for clear and direct communication between researchers and decision-makers. In a time of increasing skepticism on science and

Species Recognition in Brood Parasitic Birds and Their Hosts Only 1% of avian species are obligate brood parasitic, laying their eggs in nests of other species. Yet they impact nearly 20% of bird species that serve as hosts. How do young parasites recognize their own species and why do some, but not other, hosts accept
Dr. Maria Antonietta Loi, University of Groningen COLLOIDAL QUANTUM DOT SUPERLATTICES: TOWARDS OPTOELETRONIC METAMATERIALS Abstract – 3D superlattices made of colloidal quantum dots are a promising candidate for the next generation of optoelectronic devices as they are expected to exhibit a unique combination of tunable optical properties and coherent electrical transport through minibands. In my
