On Tuesday, October 29, 2024, Dr. Jesus Rios from the Department of Physics presented the second lecture of the STEM Speaker Series at the University Libraries. Dr. Rios first discussed how he and his research team used artificial intelligence (AI) to predict molecular properties of diatomic molecules. They found that
Health Sciences Librarian Sunny Chung recently secured a grant from Region 7 of the National Network of the Libraries of Medicine (NNLM), which was used to purchase additional graphic medicine titles for University Libraries. Graphic medicine is the use of comics to describe medically-related topics. It is a medium that
On March 7, 2023, Dr. Shikui Chen discussed the challenges of, and opportunities for, optimal designs of structural shapes using topology optimization and geometric modeling. Dr. Chen established a level-set-based topology optimization framework. He discussed how 2D to 3D designs allowed topology flexibility. During the lecture, Dr. Chen also shared
Curious about how topology optimization would help achieve a desirable design? Spend an hour with our STEM speaker, Dr. Shikui Chen from the Department of Mechanical Engineering to learn more. Date/Time: Tuesday, March 7, 2023 from 1pm-2pmLocation: Special Collections Seminar Room, E-2340, second floor of the Melville Library Topology optimization
The Department of Civil Engineering, School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, and the University Libraries at SBU are currently collaborating on a grant project to identify gaps between community needs and available services at Long Island libraries that serve socio-economically diverse populations and operate in areas with varying population densities
On November 15, 2022 Dr. Chi-Kuo Hu shared his intriguing research on better understanding life with audiences at the University Libraries. Interested in learning about phases in our life, Dr. Hu studies the African killifish’s dormant state, which is called diapause. African killifish produce a high number of transparent embryos,
On October 6, 2022, Dr. Christopher Gobler presented the first lecture of the fall 2022 STEM Speaker Series at the University Libraries.
