Research Projects Secure Competitive Federal Funding

Three noteworthy research projects led by New York Tech professors have received competitive awards from federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Defense and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

The projects, which collectively total $1,473,706, span the fields of biomedicine, physics, and engineering and are captained by faculty from the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Engineering and Computing Sciences. Their findings could improve the quality of life for spinal cord injury patients, facilitate the search for life on other planets, and advance understanding of mechanical engineering.

Studies will also engage students, providing excellent opportunities for them to gain a deeper understanding of the scientific process and mentorship from some of the university’s brightest minds.
