ASPIRATION. At SBU, an institution formed on the bedrock of innovation, tackling humanity’s most challenging problems begins with the aspirations of some of the world’s greatest minds — in our classrooms, in our laboratories and through our life-changing initiatives. SBU researchers are rethinking how to harness renewable resources such as solar and wind to power our world more effi ciently, while relentlessly seeking new ways to reduce nuclear waste to generate clean, reliable energy — an initiative backed by the U.S. Department of Energy. They are improving battery storage to enable life-saving defi brillators to last longer and electric cars to go farther on a single charge. They are collaborating with Brookhaven National Laboratory colleagues to develop a more secure, higher capacity “Internet of the future,” and using digital pathology and 3D imaging to transform cancer treatment. SBU’s greatest minds are working to preserve New York’s rich marine resources; devise ways to combat climate change and extreme weather events, such as hurricanes; and strive to create better climate adaptation applications and policies. And the bolder their aspirations, the bigger their impact. SBU is leading the way to meet the fast-changing demands of the present by confronting the unique challenges of the future head-on. It is redefi ning what tomorrow’s high-tech workforce will be — one that will always inspire innovation and always aspire to make the world a better place. |
