What would Cornell Reunion Weekend be without video portraits of the lives of graduates from the College of Architecture, Art and Planning (AAP) by videographers Phil and Maddy Handler?
“Beauty – Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial,” which opened Feb. 12 at the Smithsonian design museum in New York City, features a knitted textile pavilion by architecture professor Jenny Sabin.
A new book edited by human development professor Valerie Reyna tackles the biological origins of economic decisions in the new field of neuroeconomics.
Four research projects at Cornell University have been selected to receive a total of $1.1 million in Department of Defense (DoD) grants under the Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) program and the Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP). The research project leaders are Kenneth Birman, professor of computer science; Lang Tong, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering; Matthew Miller, associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering; and Stephen Pope, the Sibley College Professor of Mechanical Engineering.

Kathy Ramsey has a weakness for Sudoku puzzles. So when she glanced at the enticing 25-by-25 square published in the March 2 issue of the Cornell Chronicle (which appeared with a story about Cornell physicist Veit Elser's work on X-ray diffraction microscopy), she figured she would toy with it in her spare time.

Mats Rooth, a Cornell linguist, will use software to study distinctions of prosody (rhythm, stress and intonation) in language by hunting for word patterns on the Internet. (Jan. 4, 2010)
The heart of mankind's best friend, the dog, holds secrets that could improve the health of humans, according to researchers who hope to produce the first computer model of catastrophic rhythm disturbances in the heart, known as ventricular fibrillation. The condition can result in sudden cardiac failure. Cornell University, Gene Network Sciences Inc. (GNS) and the University of California-San Diego (UCSD) have been selected by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute to receive a $2 million, four-year bioengineering research grant. The award will be used to develop a 3-D computer model of the canine heart. (April 6, 2004)
A team of researchers, led by Cornell scientists, will explore basic research questions and real-world issues surrounding the transmission of two important agricultural diseases.
If you want to see what computers will be doing for us tomorrow, take a look at what students are doing with them today. BOOM, or Bits On Our Minds, is an annual show organized by the Cornell University Department of Computer Science and the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, but which involves students from all over the campus displaying their computing projects. The fifth annual show will take up parts of three floors of Upson Hall from 4 to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, March 6. The students will be on hand to explain their work, and many exhibits will include interactive displays. (February 25, 2002)
Years before COVID-19 turned into a global pandemic, biomolecular engineer Susan Daniel was already looking for ways to defeat it. Now she’s expanding her coronavirus studies, blending engineering with virology and data science.
