Congrats to Chunyu Wang, professor of biological sciences at RPI, who has been awarded a prestigious research fellowship from the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science. The fellowship supports accomplished scientists in pursuing collaborative research with peers in Japan.

The School of Science is thrilled to welcome Dr. Steven L. Tait as our new Dean! A leader in surface chemistry, Dr. Tait joins us from Indiana University with a distinguished career in research, teaching, and service. Please join us in welcoming Dr. Tait!

RPI’s Rado Ivanov has been named a 2025 Young Investigator Program awardee by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research! This prestigious honor recognizes exceptional early career researchers pushing the boundaries of science and engineering. bit.ly/4nVaIXZ

A group of RPI students recently spent the day at Lake George and the Darrin Fresh Water Institute (DFWI) for a fish sampling expedition. They captured, identified, and released nearly 200 fish, then enjoyed lunch and research presentations from DFWI interns. #TheArchRPI

Working with a team of oceanographers, RPI mathematician Yuri Lvov has developed a first-of-its-kind model of undersea waves, paving the way for more accurate climate predictions. bit.ly/4574zPz 📷 Credit: NASA Earth Observatory #RPI #RPIResearch

A research team led by RPI’s Chunyu Wang has uncovered a hidden vulnerability in the Hedgehog signaling pathway, a system that, when overactivated, can fuel several types of cancer. This breakthrough could lead to more targeted, effective treatments. bit.ly/46fzv2u

Congratulations to the newly admitted students of the RPI Class of 2029! We hope to see you on campus at one of the Accepted Students Days (March 22 or April 12) or whenever you can visit! #RPI2029 #RPIvisit

The School of Science has an exciting lineup of academic events this month! Check out our schedule and mark your calendars! More information about each event can be found at events.rpi.edu

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Curt M. Breneman, Ph.D., Dean of RPI's School of Science, on 12/3 after a brief illness. A beloved member of the RPI community since 1989, he will be deeply missed. Our thoughts are with his wife, Mimsy, & their family.

In November, RPI hosted its 11th annual HackRPI 2024, where students tackled the theme of Urban Upgrades. Over 24 hours, teams built and showcased projects to a panel of professors, industry pros, and peers.

RPI’s Richard Bonocora, senior lecturer in biological sciences, joined 29 other international participants for the Spaceflight Technology, Applications and Research (STAR) program, a virtual @NASA training for space biosciences. bit.ly/48JofKF

The Department of Physics, Applied Physics, and Astronomy participated in the NSBP-NSHP (National Society Black Physicists and National Society of Hispanic Physicists) in Houston Nov 13-17, 2024, for graduate recruiting efforts.
