UTICA, N.Y. — SUNY Polytechnic Institute has launched four new research centers that expand its research and innovation portfolio across several critical fields, the university announced. The news follows the establishment of 10 new centers last fall.
“SUNY Poly continues to invest in areas that align with national priorities and industry needs,” VP for Research Michael Carpenter said. “These four new research centers reflect our faculty’s vision, talent, and drive to position SUNY Poly at the forefront of innovation across manufacturing, cybersecurity, and engineering. We are excited to see the collaborative opportunities and real-world impact these centers will generate.”
Abdullah Eroglu, dean of the College of Engineering, leads the Applied Electromagnetics and Radio Frequency Circuits Research Center (AE&RFC). The center conducts research across a broad range of frequencies from HF to Terahertz with focus areas including antennas and RF systems for mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, artificial intelligence-driven modeling of wide-bandgap semiconductor devices, RF energy harvesting, radar, and beamforming technologies for 5G systems, and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces.
The Center for Cybersecurity Research and Innovation (CCRI), led by Assistant Professor of Cybersecurity Mahmoud Badr, is focused on strengthening defenses for critical infrastructure. The center serves as a platform for advanced research, education, and practical solutions in the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape.
Professor of Mechanical Engineering Jasmin Uddin leads the Center for Intelligent Manufacturing: AI-Driven Adaptive Systems for Autonomous Production, which leverages AI-driven adaptive systems to optimize manufacturing through real-time decision making and predictive analytics. The center also aims to enhance product quality, resource allocation, and anomaly detection across the production process with emphasis on energy efficiency, material-flow optimization, and sustainable manufacturing practices.
The Center for Nature Inspired Engineering (CNIE), led by Professor of Mechanical Engineering Xinrui Nui, supports SUNY Poly’s strategic plan for advancing autonomous manufacturing. The center’s short-term goals focus on producing nature-inspired materials and structures for applications such as dental materials, flexible electronics and robotics, liquid storage, adhesives, and coatings. Its long-term mission is to build a multidisciplinary hub for research and education in next-generation structural material design and manufacturing.
