Grace McGrath of the Macaulay Honors College program at T��ɫ��Ƶ is one of 10 undergraduates named 2020 Palantir Women In Technology Scholars. The highly competitive program created by software manufacturer Palantir is open to students in U.S., Canadian and Mexican institutions majoring in or planning to major in Science, Technology, Engineering or Math (STEM) fields. The Palantir Women in Technology Scholarship was incepted in 2010 to celebrate and support women who are beginning careers in technology. It seeks to encourage women to pursue computer science, engineering

A still uncharted research field of much relevance beyond summer’s inevitable heatwaves is coming under the intense scrutiny of City College of New York mechanical engineer Prathap Ramamurthy, thanks to a $360,000 grant from The US Army Research Office (ARO). He’s tasked with unlocking the mysteries of urban fluid dynamics that impact the air flow and exchange of heat over cities. Ramamurthy’s three-year project is in collaboration with the Army Research Lab. “Urban areas have distinct landcover characteristics that impact the air flow and exchange of heat over cities,” said Ramamurthy

Harold Gamarro, a standout graduate of the Grove School of Engineering, is the second member of City College of New York’s Class of 2020 to receive a GEM Fellowship. The highly competitive national honor funds master's and PhDs in engineering for underrepresented students of exceptional quality who intend to work in industry. Each year, GEM identifies and recruits more than 1,000 undergraduate students, graduate students, and working professionals for admission to advanced degree programs at the nation’s top universities. The National GEM Consortium’s combination of graduate study and field

Bruce Kim, associate professor of electrical engineering at T��ɫ��Ƶ, is the principal investigator of a project to develop a nanosensor that can automatically detect explosive and narcotic vapors from maritime containers. The project, “Development of Automatic Detection System for Maritime Containers with Dangerous Cargo,” is financed by a five-year, $600,000 grant from the Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering. The goal is to institute quick, efficient inspection of every one of the hundreds of thousands of container ships that enter American ports every

In pursuit of a dual degree in electrical engineering and Asian studies at T��ɫ��Ƶ, Lizzette Salmeron, a first-generation college student from the Class of 2020, often juggled two jobs while carrying a fulltime course load. Reaping the rewards of her hard work, she’s now the recipient of a highly competitive GEM Fellowship, which includes an exclusive internship offer at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. She’ll then return to City College in the fall to begin her PhD in the Grove School of Engineering. GEM fellowships fund master's and PhDs in engineering for

Hao Su, t��ɫ��Ƶ mechanical engineer developing a lightweight and adaptive exoskeleton, is the recipient of a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award. It will provide more than $552,000 in funding over five years for his proposal entitled: “Versatile Wearable Robots for Rehabilitation of Children with Gait Disabilities.” “The goal of this research and education integrated CAREER plan is to understand human-robot bidirectional adaptation by studying modeling, sensing, and control of assistive robots to enhance mobility and health of children with gait impairments,”

Benjamin Reichman, a junior in the Macaulay Honors College program, is T��ɫ��Ƶ’s fifth Barry M. Goldwater Scholar in as many years. He joins a list of talented students in science, engineering and mathematics recognized nationally by the Barry Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation. The federally funded scholarship is America’s premiere award for undergraduates majoring in math, science and engineering. Its goal is to provide a continuing source of highly qualified scientists, mathematicians, and engineers by awarding scholarships to college students
