A&S Physicist Awarded NSF Grant to Enhance Gravitational Wave Data Analysis
In 2015, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) observed the first detection of gravitational waves—ripples in the fabric of spacetime created by the cataclysmic collision of two black holes. The Syracuse University Gravitational Wave Group played a leading role in this…
New York Governor Kathy Hochul Criticized for Delaying Debate With Election Right Around the Corner
Grant Reeher, professor of political science and director of the Campbell Public Affairs Institute in the Maxwell School, was quoted in the CNHI News Service story “Zeldin Balks At One Debate, Demands More.” The article talks about current New York…
SPEd Talk to Discuss Suicide Prevention and Education for Veterans

How do artificial intelligence weapons systems transform war and surveillance activities and accentuate the social and political vulnerabilities of humans to violence? That is the question Mona Bhan, associate professor of anthropology in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public…
NSF, Department of Energy Grants Enable Physicists to Continue Cutting-Edge Research in Neutrino Discovery
You may not know it, but every second 100 billion extremely tiny, invisible subatomic particles called neutrinos pass through every square centimeter of your hand. Physicist Mitch Soderberg says the reason you didn’t notice is because they rarely interact with…
Physicist Awarded NSF Grant to Continue Gravitational Wave Detector Research
In March 2023, the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is set to begin its fourth yearlong observational period. Scientists on site in Hanford, Washington, and Livingston, Louisiana, have spent the last two years on hardware and software upgrades to…
A&S Physicists Part of NSF PAARE Grant to Diversify Astrophysics
Through a National Science Foundation Partnerships in Astronomy and Astrophysics Research and Education (PAARE) grant of more than $1 million, Syracuse University will help create a new research and education program intended to diversify the field of gravitational-wave astrophysics, specifically…
College of Law’s Driesen Using Fulbright in Canada to Study Carbon Pricing and Climate Policies
Over the past five years, the state of American democracy and politics drove University Professor David M. Driesen’s focus more toward the constitutional law side of his expertise. Now, his receipt of a 2023 Fulbright Research Chair in the Environment…
A Home-Grown Path for Future Physicists
Many Syracuse-area youth dream of one day following in the footsteps of their Syracuse University athletic heroes like Carmelo Anthony, Donovan McNabb and ’Cuse women’s basketball coach Felisha Legette-Jack. Ruell Branch grew up with a different source of inspiration. During…
