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. 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
Negative noodles, and positive ones too: Biophysics and bioengineering of intrinsically disordered proteins Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) do not fold into a fixed three-dimensional structure, yet they play important roles in biology. For instance, many IDPs phase separate into biomolecular condensates that function as membrane-less organelles in cells. If IDPs are somewhat like a cooked
