Dmitry Savransky will be promoted to Associate Professor with Tenure, effective July 1st, 2021. Since joining Cornell, Savransky has made significant contributions to the development of simulation, analysis, and prediction tools to enable high yield remote sensing from the ground and space - uniquely synthesizing applied physics, estimation, control and computational data analysis techniques for space missions. One of Savransky's more broadly recognized contributions is the development of EXOSIMS, a software framework for the analysis of exoplanet imaging space missions. Savransky seamlessly... Read more
A message from the Director... Dear Class of 2021, I’d like to start off by congratulating you on completing one of the biggest milestones in your educational career! I know not one of you anticipated the unusual challenges of the past year when you started at Cornell – but throughout this journey you have showed us all what it means to be resilient. You have been shaped by this experience and will move forward into the world with the determination and adaptability you have developed during your time in the Sibley School. We know all of our students will go on to do incredible things. But this... Read more
A first-of-its-kind study examining the thermal transport properties of a novel material is helping steer the future of hybrid perovskites – with applications for improving solar cells, LED lights, etc. The study is led by Associate Professor Zhiting Tian. Read more
Cornell University is partnering with software company Ansys to create a new certificate program that allows engineers from across the world to master simulation of fluid dynamics. The courses were developed by Rajesh Bhaskaran, the Swanson Director of Engineering Simulation in the Sibley School. Read more
