Dr. Navid Goudarzi, an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering (MCE), has received a five-year, $550,000 Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support his research to improve modeling of urban environments. The CAREER Program is a Foundation-wide activity that offers the NSF’s most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization.
Under this CAREER award, Dr. Goudarzi will conduct research in Thermofluids science to understand how urban morphology influences the dynamic behavior of urban microclimates, including phenomena such as urban heat islands, air stagnation, and extreme wind or thermal events.

Introduction to Quantum Computing Discover the principles of quantum computing in this introductory course. You will distinguish bits from qubits, master single- and two-qubit gate operations to construct basic circuits and analyze state transformations through superposition and entanglement. You will explore quantum algorithms, Deutsch and Grover, and assess their advantages over classical counterparts. You will examine noise challenges and simple error correction techniques. Finally, you will evaluate quantum computing's impact on cryptography and investigate quantum teleportation. Enroll now to build a rigorous foundation in quantum information science. Cleveland State University staff and full-time faculty may register using the professional development benefit. |

NIH changes No Cost Extension process, NSF PIs must certify no involvement with Foreign Talent Recruitment programs The National Institutes of Health has announced that it will not grant automatic first-time no cost extensions (NCEs). To request any extension, the prior approval module in eRA Commons must be completed and forwarded to Sponsored Programs and Research Services (SPRS). The National Science Foundation (NSF) is requiring a new annual certification requirement for Principal Investigators (PIs) and co-Principal Investigators (co-PIs) regarding Malign Foreign Talent Recruitment Programs (MFTRP) on NSF grants. NSF will contact PIs and co-PIs directly regarding the certification process. Contact SPRS with any questions about these changes. |
