> Home / The Division of Science

The Division of Science at City College has a proud legacy and an exciting future. Ten Nobel Laureates studied science and mathematics at CCNY. Our faculty conduct cutting edge research on everything from climate change to structural biology to sustainable energy, and everything in between. City College students, even as undergraduates, have an unprecedented opportunity to work in these labs. In the past 8 years the Division has produced two Rhodes Scholars and several Goldwater and Truman scholars, as well as graduates who have gone on to the most prestigious graduate schools, supported by grants from the National Science Foundation to pursue their research.

Menon Receives Keck Foundation Grant

Dr. Vinod Menon (Professor of Physics), along with colleagues at the University of Texas at Austin, has received a $1.1 million grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation to explore various properties of quantum materials. Menon will contribute in the design of advanced resonators to manipulate fluctuations in the empty space between particles. Over the past decade, researchers have designed and built ultrathin materials that exhibit exotic quantum properties that could be useful in a range of applications from quantum computers to transmitting electricity without losing energy. But these quantum properties are often highly unstable, only lasting for very short timescales or at extremely low temperatures. The researchers will specifically target superconductivity, a state in which electrons propagate without losing energy. The W.M. Keck Foundation was established in 1954 with the mission to fund high impact science projects.

Gaming Pathways Program: New Exhibit Portrays the Vital Role of Video Games

“Video Games: The Great Connector” was a new pop-up exhibition in collaboration between The Harlem Gallery of Science (HGS), Science and Arts Engagement New York (SAENY) And The City College of New York. This free exhibit showcases academic and career opportunities in the gaming industry to inspire Black and Latinx youth. “When industries aren't diverse, especially industries and entertainment or storytelling, they end up telling stories to the same people and that ignores whole markets of storytellers and whole kinds of stories,” said Nick Fortugno, director of the Gaming Pathways Program at CCNY and co-founder of Playmatics.

Tzortziou is Key Member of NASA PACE Earth Observatory Project

On February 8, 2024, SpaceX launched NASA’s PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem) satellite, one of NASA's most advanced missions to study how the ocean and the atmosphere exchange carbon dioxide. Dr. Maria Tzortziou (Professor of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences) has been working on this mission for the past 12 years as the Deputy Program Applications Lead. With a hyperspectral ocean color instrument and two polarimeters, this mission will provide global scale observations that will benefit society in the areas of ecological forecasting, ocean health, marine biodiversity, carbon cycle, air quality, and climate change impacts. PACE is endorsed as part of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
