Hubs of Fundamental Discovery

Columbia Engineering faculty are a central force in creating many groundbreaking discoveries that today are shaping life tomorrow. They are at the vanguard of their fields, collaborating with other world-renowned experts at Columbia and other universities to bring the best minds from a myriad of disciplines to shape the future.

Large, well-funded interdisciplinary centers in science and engineering, materials research, nanoscale research, and genomic research are making step changes in their respective fields while individual groups of engineers and scientists collaborate to solve theoretical and practical problems in other significant areas.

Jeffrey Kysar, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering describes his fundamental research into the deformation of materials at small length scales, under high-strain-gradient, and high-rate-loading conditions.

In November, 2007 Kysar was awarded a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) in recognition of his work.. ^{_{READ MORE>}}
