Nature-Inspired Designs Could Offer Solutions for Global Challenges
Bioinspired research draws from the natural world to develop solutions for global challenges. But it can be difficult to turn these research ideas into actual materials and methods that can be applied to real world problems in areas like construction,…
As New Leader Takes Helm, South Asia Center Receives $1.05M in Federal Grants
For more than three decades, sociologist Prema Kurien has explored the relationship between international migration, race, ethnicity and religion with a focus on migrants from India and other countries in South Asia. She is the author of three award-winning books…
University Part of Collaborative Team Researching Preventing Infections in Engineered Tissue and Implantable Devices
Advancements in biomedical devices such as knee and hip implants, heart valves, pacemakers, dental implants, stents and catheters have improved quality of life for patients worldwide. These devices, however, introduce foreign material into a patient and are prone to chronic…
Math Department Sees Significant Grant Support for 2022-23
Joining Minghao Rostami’s prestigious National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER grant, which started this August and runs for five years, three other professors in the Department of Mathematics—Jani Onninen, Dan Coman and Lixin Shen—were awarded NSF grants for their ongoing work, and two…
A&S Biology Professor Helping to Shape National Science Foundation Funding
Across laboratories in the College of Arts and Sciences (A&S), the cutting-edge research taking place is made possible with support from federally funded grants. In the last year alone, A&S researchers have received nearly $24 million in support from institutions…
Geochemist Receives NSF Grant for Work in Developing Search Engines for Climate Change Data
No researcher is an island. While scientists and academics certainly find themselves toiling alone in laboratories and behind computers at times, it is collaboration—consulting, borrowing from and building upon the research of others—that really drives discovery. And in the field…
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…
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…
Syracuse University Joins Consortium in NSF I-Corps Hub’s $15M STEM Innovation Program
Syracuse University has joined nine other colleges in the newly awarded National Science Foundation (NSF) Innovation Corps (I-Corps): Interior Northeast Region Hub (IN I-Corps), a $15 million, five-year investment by the NSF that is designed to foster innovation and entrepreneurship…
