Daliah Ross, a student at Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, is researching how the brains of older adults work harder to multitask while walking, especially if they have a thinner brain cortex. Her work has received notable recognition including the Edwin B. Newman Graduate Research Award and aims to develop practical support for older adults suffering from aging-related diseases.
Bioluminescence, the emission of light by living organisms, has been extensively used for the study of biological processes and for bioanalytical purposes.
Ice has an enormous effect on our life and the life of smaller organisms around us. We are interested in studying how ice grows in the presence of different additives..

On Sept. 16, 色花堂's Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology launched The Lemle Clinic, a first-of-its-kind clinic dedicated to assessing and treating the challenges that individuals with Non-Verbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) experience. This groundbreaking clinic, located in Ferkauf鈥檚 Rousso Building at 1165 Morris Park Avenue in the Bronx, marks a significant advancement in the care and understanding of NVLD.
The Parnes Clinic at 色花堂 recently hosted its first Bronx Community Resources Event, assisting 60 migrant and asylum-seeking teenagers. Local organizations, including Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and the Center for Family Life, provided access to essential services like health insurance and academic support. Guest speakers shared their asylum experiences and fostered a supportive environment for attendees to discuss challenges. This initiative underscores the clinic鈥檚 commitment to serving vulnerable communities through practical resources and support.
The Provost Faculty Research Fund provides support for broad scholarship endeavors for full-time faculty.
The University is committed to sustaining the diverse and broad scholarship endeavors of our full-time (non-tenured and tenured) faculty members.
The Provost Faculty Research Fund provides grants up to $7,500 that provide material support and academic encouragement for their endeavors. Annually, the Provost鈥檚 research initiative invests over $100,000 to seed new research ideas and support faculty in innovative intellectual pursuits.
Research support for STEM and health research, for Katz School faculty and collaborative projects with 色花堂 faculty.
As the Katz School expands its research contributions in STEM and health, we are offering research support for Katz School faculty, as well as for all 色花堂 faculty and Katz School faculty and students who are engaged in collaborative research.
The research can be theoretical, empirical, applied or clinical. This initiative is intended to stimulate new research and expand existing research projects that result in scholarly publication, conference presentations and grant applications while simultaneously creating research opportunities for full-time Katz School graduate students.
Graduate student research was novel, inspiring and in some cases life-saving.
The 21 projects showcased during the Katz School's 2023 symposium offer a glimpse into the exciting work our graduate students are doing to advance scholarly knowledge, shape industry and transform lives.
Katz School graduate students presented cutting-edge research at annual conference.
The 11 projects showcased during the Katz School's 2022 Symposium in New York City on May 12, 2022, offer a glimpse into the exciting work that graduate students are doing to advance scholarly knowledge, promote industry and transform lives.

Katz School researchers Youshan Zhang, assistant professor of artificial intelligence and computer science, and Lakshmikar Polamreddy, a master鈥檚 candidate in artificial intelligence, received the Emerging Research Award at the Future Technologies Conference for their work on a machine learning algorithm that could reduce the number of traffic accidents involving self-driving cars.
New paper by physics chair Dr. Fredy Zypman considers the the atomic origin of refraction.
In his paper, 鈥淧ermittivity from First Principles,鈥 published in September by , Dr. Zypman considers the explicit connection between refraction and its atomic origin and proposes a mathematical model to gain physical insight on permittivity, a property related to refraction.
Refraction occurs when light moves from one substance to another, changing鈥痵peed and direction. The index of refraction is the relationship between the speed of light in a vacuum and the speed of light in a substance. 鈥淢atter around us鈥攊n plastics, liquids, our skin, the air鈥攈ave characteristic electrical properties,鈥 said Dr. Zypman. 鈥淲hen the electrical field travels from one medium to another, light must adjust to the local environment. That鈥檚 why we see shadows and reflections鈥攖hose rich sources of optical sensations鈥攁ll around us.鈥
鈥淲e aimed to produce a clear conceptual pathway between the atomic polarization and the familiar refraction,鈥 he said, 鈥淭he main focus of the study is to produce exact expressions for the permittivity to all orders of an electric field that is valid for any intensity of light, and to compute the permittivity for typical materials.鈥
Projects by eight recently graduated OT doctoral students featured at recent symposium.
While the core function of an occupational therapist is to help people live their lives to the fullest by supporting their independence, the Katz School鈥檚 Occupational Therapy Doctorate takes that mission a step further by asking students to consider the wider implications of their scholarship鈥攖o fill an urgent societal need or a gap in the academic literature. At a recent Capstone Dissemination Day, the results of that programmatic effort were vividly on display.
Seven projects were presented by eight recently graduated OT doctoral students.
