The CSU Green Lab program was developed to conserve energy and water and to reduce waste in CSU labs. The components of the program include: • CSU Green Lab website: An overview of the program with links to CSU materials and resources. • Green Lab Guide: Best practice guidelines for energy and water conservation, sustainable purchasing, and waste reduction. • Shut the Sash campaign: Fume hoods are one of the largest energy users on campus. New stickers remind users to always shut the sash for safety and energy conservation. • Green Lab Training: This module will be included with EHS Lab Safety Training in Blackboard. |

Office of Research Welcomes New Pre-Award Manager Thanks to increasing proposal submissions and external grant awards, the Office of Research is delighted to introduce Pat Drew as a Pre-Award Manager in our Sponsored Programs and Research Services division. Pat joins Amy Deptowicz in the pre-award role, and will assist faculty and research staff with grant and subcontract preparation and grants management policy interpretation. Researchers should utilize the Request to Set Up Cayuse form to request assistance with setting up a proposal in Cayuse, CSU’s proposal management and approval system. Either Amy or Pat will then reach out to you to assist. |

Two CSU Physics alums have built on their CSU experience and are at leading edge of physics research. Dr. Joseph Glaser, (BS Honors in Physics & BS Mathematics, 2014) provided key computational expertise to NANOGrav, the international collaboration that developed a Gravitational Wave Antenna to uncover the background "hum" of Gravitational Waves. On June 29, the team revealed the results of a data set collected over the last 15 years that provided evidence to support the Gravitational Wave Background Signal, which is likely caused by binary supermassive black holes formed from merging galaxies. Back on earth, Justin Flaherty, CSU Physics Honors ('16) and Physics MS ('18) alum is currently a physics PhD student at the Ohio State University. He was recently sent to the Antarctic for his Ph.D. research with OSU’s Center for Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (CCAPP), where he is taking part in the search for neutrinos via two collaborative efforts: The Payload for Ultra-high Energy Observations (PUEO) and The Askaryan Radio Array (ARA). |

On July 24, 2023, the United States Patent and Trademark Office allowed U.S. Patent 2021/0123007 titled Perfusion Plate for Microarray 3D Bioprinting that names Dr. Moo-Yeal Lee, a former assistant professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering (ChBME). The patented technology provides a perfusion-pillar plate assembly that can facilitate perfusion-based tissue culture and tissue communication for high throughput, high-content, drug screening. Contact Jack Kraszewski for assistance with a disclosure to begin the process of protecting your invention or intellectual property. |
UPDATE: Patent Review Committee Decisions The CSU Patent Review Committee approved two invention disclosures for patent protection. One disclosure was provided by Dr. Antonie van den Bogert (retired) and Dr. Michael Gallagher, both from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, titled: Cable-Driven Exoskeleton Device. The invention provides for an assistive walking device for individuals suffering from conditions affecting their gait. The second disclosure was provided by Dr. Zhiqiang Gao, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and was titled: Generic PID Design and Tuning. The invention provides an improved method for tuning and scaling a proportional-integral derivative controller (PID). |
