A team of Clarkson University professors recently published a study examining student confidence in their writing abilities after using ChatGPT as a writing coach. The study explores how artificial intelligence (AI) tools can assist students in the revision process while encouraging critical engagement rather than passive reliance. “The big-picture hope is that this serves as […]
A research team at Clarkson University has developed a groundbreaking method to effectively destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on spent sorbents, addressing a critical environmental challenge. The study introduces a process to break down PFAS captured by spent anion exchange resins (AERs) without incineration or chemical solvents AERs are frequently used to remove PFAS
High school students from across the North Country were invited to put their engineering skills to the test at the 18th annual Integrated Math and Physics for Entry to Undergraduate STEM (IMPETUS) Roller Coaster Competition. The Roller Coaster Building Competition, hosted by Clarkson University’s Institute for STEM Education on April 2, offers students the unique
Clarkson University is proud to announce that Frank Consolazio, a Mechanical Engineering major, has been named a recipient of the prestigious Micron Summer Research Scholarship. Consolazio is also an active member of Clarkson’s Honors Program, which offers enriched academic opportunities, research mentorship, and leadership development to top-performing students. This award will provide Consolazio with a
Chunlei Liang, Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Clarkson University, will discuss some development of numerical methods and software engineering at Clarkson University for a massively parallel code, SHARPer during his talk titled “SHARPer: Large Eddy Simulations of Clarkson Ducted Wind Turbines and Diffuser Optimization” on April 9 at 7:15 p.m. SHARPer was used
A new aerosol sampler, designed by Clarkson University researchers, has the potential to help scientists understand how particles in the stratosphere could help cool the planet. The device, developed by Bayard D. Clarkson Distinguished Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Suresh Dhaniyala and graduate student Nagarajan Radhakrishnan, is mounted on the NASA WB-57, a high
Clarkson University researchers are planning to use AI to better predict hazards like shoreline erosion and flooding on Lake Ontario. A grant from the New York State Water Resources Institute (NYS WRI) will allow researchers to develop advanced AI-driven models for predicting climate-driven coastal hazards along the lake’s shoreline. Led by Associate Professors of Civil
Clarkson University has been awarded a Level I Accreditation by The ArbNet Arboretum Accreditation Program and The Morton Arboretum, for achieving particular standards of professional practices deemed important for arboreta and botanic gardens. The Level I Accreditation is in addition to Clarkson’s Tree Campus USA certification, which has been awarded to the university annually since
Clarkson University has officially launched its effort to expand and renovate its Engineering and Science facilities to meet the challenge of 21st Century STEM education. As core part of the Solinsky Engineering Leadership Challenge, Clarkson is asking Architectural/Engineering firms to team with Construction Managers/Design Builders to provide proposals to develop a robust concept design for
Collaborative Research Aims to Strengthen Grid Reliability, Capacity, and Sustainability Clarkson University has announced two new research collaborations with the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) and Avangrid, focused on enhancing the sustainability and efficiency of the power grid in New York and New England. These industry-sponsored projects will leverage the expertise of Clarkson faculty
