Abram Magner, an assistant professor in the College of Nanotechnology, Science, and Engineering, has recently been awarded a $584,993 grant from the National Science Foundation for his project, “CAREER: Theoretical Foundations for Learning Network Dynamics.”
UAlbany scientists have patented the design of a new system to treat water for PFAS—synthetic chemicals known to contaminate ground and surface waters which threaten environmental and human health.
In UAlbany’s most significant expansion in midtown since the Downtown Campus was completed in 1929, the college’s Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering began moving into the renovated south wing last week, following the dean’s office in February, marking the halfway point of the transformational project and the return of students and educators to the 112-year-old building for the first time in more than a decade.
UAlbany held its second annual Showcase Day, which celebrates academic excellence, on Tuesday, April 30, 2024. The day-long event featured poster fairs, performances, discussions, demonstrations and exhibitions that reflected new and original exploration of topics in STEM, arts and humanities, social sciences and the professions.
Spend the day at the University’s second annual Showcase all around the Uptown Campus, including the Lecture Centers, Campus Center, libraries, University Art Museum, ETEC, the Performing Arts Center and podium academic buildings.
