Highlights
At the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, our researchers are collaborating across disciplines to find innovative ways to improve our world. Faculty and students work together on interdisciplinary topics in many research centers and institutes including Brookhaven National Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York State institutions and industry.
We hope you enjoy learning about some of our latest research endeavors:
SBU Researchers Enhance Equity in Access to LI Sound Waterfront with Complimentary Shuttle Service
Professor Anil Yazici, Undergraduate Director, Department of Civil Engineering; and Professor Elizabeth Hewitt, Department of Technology and Society, received a grant from the nonprofit New York Sea Grant (NYSG) program, which is being used to provide participants no-cost, round trip shuttle service between their selected pick-up location and West Meadow Beach.
New Patent for Professor Ye
Congratulations to Professor Fan Ye of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
on the issuance of his new patent.
Patent No: 11,946,761
Patent Title: System and Method Associated with Expedient Determination of Location of One or More Object(s) Within a Bounded Perimeter of 3D Space Based on Mapping and Navigation to a Precise POI Destination Using a Smart Laser Pointer Device.
Answering the Call - Research for Governors Island
Dilip Gersappe, a professor and chair of materials science and chemical engineering is among SBU faculty who intend for their current research to be applied to Governors Island when the construction is completed. Gersappe said he has two projects that could eventually be tested through The Exchange. The first involves research that uses natural processes to enhance barriers, specifically biopolymer-stabilized earth materials for resilient and adaptable infrastructures with the goal of stabilizing soil to provide natural barriers to erosion.
SBU Researchers Uncover New Cybersecurity Risks in Blockchain
Researchers led by Professor Nick Nikiforakis from Stony Brook University’s Department of Computer Science recently earned a bronze medal at eCrime 2024 in Boston for their paper, “Typosquatting 3.0: Characterizing Squatting in Blockchain Naming Systems.”
The research revealed a new type of vulnerability in blockchain technology, focusing on how cybercriminals can exploit human error in blockchain naming systems.
