The honor is presented annually, recognizing awardees on campuses across the SUNY system for their commitment to sustaining intellectual vibrancy, advancing the boundaries of knowledge, providing the highest quality of instruction and serving the public good.

Six students from the Design and Augmented Intelligence Lab (DAIL) team, directed by Saleh Kalantari, assistant professor in the Department of Human Centered Design, presented posters at the Cornell XR Retreat at Cornell Tech in October.

XR stands for extended reality and is a broad term that includes virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR).

DAIL supports research to develop and analyze human–technology partnerships in the design process and promotes generative design

The Bauhaus Dessau Foundation ran a two-part virtual workshop for students in the Department of Human Centered Design (HCD) this fall. The program was coordinated by Catherine Blumenkamp, lecturer and associate director of the Cornell Fashion + Textile Collection (CF+TC); this is the second year the enrichment was offered.

Participants began the workshop with a simple exercise of printing their name in four different orientations. The goal was to unlearn the literal approach to writing

Daniel Berry, assistant professor in the Division of Nutritional Sciences, and graduate students in his lab have identified the cellular and molecular mechanisms that govern adaptive thermogenesis, a biological process that researchers believe could be the key to treating obesity, type 2 diabetes and other metabolic disorders.

Their study, published in the journal Cell Reports, outlines the complex intra-organ communication that allows brown adipose tissue to burn calories to produce heat to

Malte Jung, associate professor of information science in the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science, along with two Cornell alumni, are among the recipients of the inaugural round of seed grant from the Institute for Trustworthy AI in Law and Society (TRAILS). The eight funded projects, totaling just over $1.5 million, will advance cutting-edge research and scholarship that spans AI design, development and governance.

TRAILS is a multi-institutional effort that

Marlen Z. Gonzalez, assistant professor of psychology, has frequently heard behavioral scientists say “context matters” when trying to make sense of problems caused by human behavior. 

Her answer: Align the science of human behavior with the science of behavioral ecology, or how animals – in this case, humans – interact with their environment. In a comment published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, Gonzalez and Marissa Rice, a postdoctoral researcher in Gonzalez’s Life
