Jeff F. Morris To Receive The European Society of Rheology 2022 Weissenberg Award
|
|
Jeff F. Morris, Professor of Chemical Engineering and Director of the Benjamin Levich Institute for Physico-Chemical Hydrodynamics, is recipient of the 2022 Weissenberg Award presented by European Society of Rheology (ESR). Morris was cited for his “ground-breaking work on the particle pressure and the underlying mechanism of suspension flow and discontinuous shear thickening, for novel work on the rheology of hydrate-forming emulsions, and for outstanding service to the rheology and fluid mechanics community.” The Weissenberg Award was created in 1997 to recognize outstanding, long-term achievements in the field of rheology, regardless of geographical location. As the 2022 Weissenberg awardee, Morris will present a plenary lecture at the upcoming AERC conference to be held in Seville, Spain in April 2022. He will also serve a three year term (2022-2026) on Weissenberg Committee. Read more>>

Sheldon Weinbaum Receives Prestigious Benjamin Franklin Medal
|
|
Professor Emeritus Sheldon Weinbaum is the recipient of a 2022 Benjamin Franklin Medal in Biomedical Engineering from The Franklin Institute. The Franklin Institute cited Weinbaum for his “foundational contributions to our understanding of heat flow among arteries, veins, and capillaries in the body, increasing our knowledge of cardiovascular disease and leading to life-saving technologies.”
Since 1824, The Franklin Institute of Philadelphia has honored the legacy of Benjamin Franklin by presenting awards for outstanding achievements in science, engineering, and industry. As the oldest comprehensive science and technology awards program in the United States, The Franklin Institute Awards Program has recognized more than 2,000 of the most pioneering scientists, engineers, inventors, and innovators from across the globe.

Alexander Couzis Appointed Daniel And Frances Berg Professor
|
|
Alexander Couzis, Interim Dean and Professor of Chemical Engineering has been named the Daniel and Frances Berg Professor. The named professorship was established by alumnus Daniel Berg '50 and his wife Frances H. Berg to enhance the academic strength and reputation of the College. Couzis is an internationally recognized researcher with areas of expertise in interfacial engineering, materials engineering, nanomaterials, energy storage, and process scale up. He joined the college in 1994 following a stint with the International Paper's Applied Polymer Science Division. In 2013, he took a five-year leave to take on the role of CTO and later CEO of Urban Electric Power, where he maintains an advisory role. Shortly following his return to academia in 2018, Couzis was appointed Interim Dean of The Grove School of Engineering on July 1, 2020.

The international competition entailed utilizing Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) methods to classify different types of building damage caused by natural disasters, such as hurricane, flood, earthquake and fire. Participants were presented with aerial images of disaster areas taken by aircraft or satellites and asked to survey the impact. “Instead of manually assessing the damage to come up with the most appropriate disaster relief plans, government agencies would like to exploit AI/ML techniques to effectively speed up the relief process,” said Jie Wei, CCNY computer science professor and the team’s co-advisor. The CCNY team used cutting-edge deep learning techniques to reduce the data and computational complexity in the analysis of the overhead images by order of magnitude. Read more>>

For one of the first times, topological photons—light—has been combined with lattice vibrations, also known as phonons, to manipulate their propagation in a robust and controllable way. The findings led by Alexander Khanikaev, Professor of Electrical Engineering were featured in the journal Science. The study, “Topological phonon-polariton funneling in midinfrared meta-surfaces,” utilized topological pho-tonics, an emergent direction in photonics which leverages funda-mental ideas of the mathematical field of topology about conserved quantities—topological invariants—that remain constant when altering parts of a geometric object under continuous deformations.

Despite a long history of research on flow regulation due to dams, most studies focused only on the impact of a single dam. They have by far ignored the combined impact of flow regulation on a river network caused by large dams heavily altering natural flows that cause river ecosystems to degrade. A comprehensive review by Naresh Devineni, Associate Professor of Civil Engineering in collaboration with researchers at NC State and Columbia has led to a proposed dynamic flow alteration index (DFAI) for complex river networks with cascading reservoir systems that quantifies the local and cumulative degree of regulation. The study was published in Water Resources Research.
