Highlighted Research

Project FRESH Air: A Community Engagement Project About Health and Climate

The Fordham Regional Environmental Sensor for Healthy Air (FRESH Air) is a citizen science outreach project that aims to educate communities about climate change, air quality, and health impacts by using particulate monitors in schools and helping develop curricula around the sensors and data; university faculty, college students, K–12 educators, and K–12 students collaborate on data collection, analysis, interpretation, and curriculum development.

Using Math in Physics: 7.Telling the story

To develop complex problem-solving skills, students need to learn to develop a coherent story about what the situation in the problem is, what the mechanism is, and what physics principles are appropriate to apply.

Probing Mechanical Properties of a Spider Web Using a Simple Rubber Band Model

Maintaining the structural integrity of a spider web1 is important for spiders, since it is both a residence and a hunting tool.

Young's double-slit interference demonstration with single photons

The interference of single photons going through a double slit is a compelling demonstration of the wave and particle nature of light in the same experiment. Single photons produced by spontaneous parametric down-conversion can be used for this purpose.

Playing melodies on a single string by exciting harmonics using the Lorentz force

We show how a single metal guitar string of fixed length can produce a musical scale. The string is placed near a permanent magnet, and by applying an AC to the string at the frequency of the desired musical note, the Lorentz force creates vibrations in the string at that frequency.

How the air slows a closing book

When two flat surfaces approach each other, the fluid in between is accelerated and ejected from the sides at large speeds. This situation occurs often in everyday life, such as when you step in a puddle and create splashes of water, or when you clap your hands or close a book and create jets of air.

Dynamic modulation of thermal emission—A Tutorial

Thermal emission is typically associated with a blackbody at a temperature above absolute zero, which exchanges energy with its environment in the form of radiation.

Quantum computing and materials science: A practical guide to applying quantum annealing to the configurational analysis of materials

Using quantum computers for computational chemistry and materials science will enable us to tackle problems that are intractable on classical computers. In this paper, we show how the relative energy of defective graphene structures can be calculated by using a quantum annealer.

How to extract kinetic information from Tafel analysis in electrocatalysis

Electrocatalysis has become increasingly attractive in aiding transformation to green chemical industries. Proper evaluation and in-depth understanding of electrocatalysts are critical to designing high-performance electrocatalysis systems.

How to train a neural network potential

The introduction of modern Machine Learning Potentials (MLPs) has led to a paradigm change in the development of potential energy surfaces for atomistic simulations.
