Cornell Tech’s new faculty are building tech that thinks, feels, and teaches
By Grace Stanley
Seven new faculty members have joined Cornell Tech, each bringing visionary research and interdisciplinary expertise to its academic community. These scholars are blurring the lines between disciplines — from AI that sees and hears like a human, to video games that teach ecological thinking.
With three Sloan Fellows, three NSF CAREER Award winners, and a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree among them, this year’s new faculty cohort arrives with notable accolades and ambitions. Their work spans digital media, AI, robotics, and optimization, earning national recognition for pushing the boundaries of what technology can do.
“We are incredibly fortunate to welcome these extraordinary scholars to Cornell Tech. They’re not just some of the greatest minds advancing global research, they’re also building tools that change how we live, move, and connect,” said Greg Morrisett, Jack and Rilla Neafsey Dean and Vice Provost of Cornell Tech. “Each brings a distinct lens to the future of technology — whether through sound and vision, play and storytelling, or ethics and algorithms — that will enrich our thriving academic community.”
