The clothing industry is responsible for about percent of global greenhouse gas emissions and consumes more energy than aviation and shipping combined according to the United Nations Environment Program
The overall goal of the Katz School research is to develop a marketing research study and quantify citizen awareness and attitudes toward sustainability initiatives design and test a marketing and education campaign to have a positive impact on those attitudes and collect follow up data six months afterward to measure the impact of the campaign on urban sustainability
This elegant survey on consumer attitudes draws connections between business social science and commerce said Dean Russo
The outcomes could result in new sustainable business models
Alexandra said that for the purposes of this project the target audience would broadly include the residents of Manhattan and a few small to midsize apparel businesses
The intended audience for the digital campaign would be those already exhibiting favorable attitudes toward sustainable clothing as well as those who are either indifferent or hostile to it
In addition to the consumers we feel it is equally important to learn the steps taken by marketers and businesses to promote sustainable action and their barriers said Alexandra
Carli Muller said the team plans to review a host of research papers from behavioral marketing and consumer behavior journals such as Journal of Marketing Journal of Consumer Psychology Journal of Consumer Research and Journal of Marketing Research to understand the key drivers of sustainable consumption
We ll also be conducting social deep listening to derive insights regarding the consumer awareness and sentiments of recycling and reusing clothes said Carli
The team insights will form the basis of their quantitative research
During this project we want to use everything we ve learned from the classes we ve taken in the Digital Marketing and Media program and apply them to deliver impactful results said Christine
Asaf Hochman the team advisor said the Katz School encourages students to tie their academic education to their own interests and passions
In this case he said the team strong environmental consciousness is driving them to leverage their marketing skills in exploring an acute real world challenge

New York City traffic jams tend to begin with clusters of tie ups within a network of streets before expanding rapidly and chaotically to surrounding areas according to a paper published by two professors in the Katz School M A in Physics
Katz School researchers are developing an advanced method for examining how ice crystallizes and how antifreeze proteins inhibit the crystallization process
Ran Drori assistant professor of chemistry in YU Stern College for Women and the Katz School M A in Physics is studying the unique ability of ice binding proteins or antifreeze proteins to both accelerate and inhibit the growth of ice using a microscope mounted cold stage which holds a temperature controlled sample and is times more powerful than the industry standard
A Katz School of Science and Health paper that devises a theoretical framework for studying the quantum origins of flexoelectricity a phenomenon in which electric charges scatter within a material after it has been bent has been published in the Journal of Applied Physics
Flexoelectricity occurs when an ordinary object which is normally uncharged is significantly changed in size and shape or deformed by mechanical or other forces
The result is that positive and negative charge regions inside the object are rearranged due to the migration of electrons
The net charge is still zero said Fredy Zypman professor and chair of the M A in physics program who authored the article Quantum Flexoelectric Nanobending
But the fact that you can separate the charges will have an effect via the electric field induced by that dissociation
Most people have experienced charge migration on a dry winter day when they feel a shock at the touch of a metallic doorknob
The spark is a violent manifestation of a fast electric charge transfer
While charge relocation is ubiquitous in nature its manifestation is usually unlike the spark subtle to common observation
In the case of flexoelectricity the effect is so well concealed that it shows up in extremely tiny objects that can only be monitored with very delicate instrumentation
Flexoelectricity is present in all materials but it virtually imperceptible in everyday events
Still it prevalent at submicroscopic scales
Researchers have recently become more interested in experimentally validating this phenomenon which has been a point of speculation since the as the trend toward the miniaturization of electronics and microchips has accelerated
Flexoelectricity has tantalizing implications in a wide range of areas ranging from biotechnology to energy harvesting said Zypman
Most important all materials display this property making the menu of flexoelectric materials unlimited in practice a most desirable quality in scientific engineering and commercial spheres
Flexoelectric materials can be used as sensors and actuators at the nanometer scale by comparison a sheet of paper is about nanometers thick
Sensors can monitor small movements by direct measurement of the voltage created by a charge separation
Conversely in an actuator the input is a voltage or charge and the output is motion
It could be linear motion said Zypman or angular motion like a twist
These two aspects have vast practical applications he said
For example a submicroscopic autonomous robot a micro cyborg can use actuators to move and sensors to decide how to move
These flexoelectric sensors can also be used to monitor the structural integrity of a building by measuring its vibrations with great precision
Pacemakers implanted in human hearts and utilizing lithium batteries could instead be self powered as natural movement generates electrical power
Human bones are flexoelectric
When microfractures occur during exercise the behavior of cells that form new bone is dictated by the fracture flexoelectric field
While flexoelectricity is a property of all materials it is necessary to continue finding unambiguous foundational connections between theory and experiments to be able to assess real systems said Zypman
This is important as applications of flexoelectricity in nanodevices grow
It is still a very exciting work in progress
Three Katz School mathematics and physics researchers have developed a theoretical framework for predicting the possible shapes and gravitational fields of asteroids
The results published in the international journal Astrophysics and Space Science in March can be useful for spacecraft engineers developing landing designs for irregularly shaped celestial objects
The research was funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation
One of the paper central challenges was to find mathematical expressions for representing gravity on the surface of an irregularly shaped asteroid understanding that unlike on Earth gravity on these objects isn t constant said Fredy Zypman a professor of physics and co author of the paper Surface Gravity of Rotating Dumbbell Shapes with Marian Gidea professor and chair of the M and Ph D mathematics programs and Wai Ting Lam a doctoral alum in mathematics and now a member of the faculty at Yeshiva University Stern College for Women
Asteroids in the solar system can take on a variety of shapes
They are of particular interest to scientists and explorers because they re rich in minerals
The exploration of the irregular gravity fields is compelling said Lam
In particular dumbbell shapes are among those that have been observed for comets and asteroids
The Katz School researchers focused on dumbbell shaped or peanut shaped asteroids whose gravitational fields can vary widely on their surfaces because their mass is unevenly distributed as opposed to Earth a nearly rounded object that produces a relatively constant gravitational field
Dumbbells are among the shapes that have been observed for comets and asteroids making them both astronomically and mathematically interesting said Gidea
Because the gravitational field of an asteroid is complicated more irregular spacecrafts have to be very careful on their approach
Examples of oddly shaped asteroids include Hektor the largest Jupiter Trojan asteroid that has its own moon the Comet Hartley which was the target of a flyby in by NASA s
Deep Impact spacecraft and the trans Neptunian Arrokoth or Ultima Thule located in the Kuiper Belt which was the target of the New Horizons space probe flyby in
In addition to the general results for gravity on peanut shaped objects we also created a model for the shape of Hektor that can be described by simple equations
This formula gives us a possible family of shapes for this type of asteroid said Gidea
The peanut shaped asteroids aren t all identical
We had to figure out how many exist and the family of shapes and then we figured out the gravity at any point in the vicinity of these shapes
Zypman said the researchers also studied how the shape of an asteroid changes depending on its rotation
This knowledge is relevant for understanding how the asteroid formed initially when the object was still malleable and approaching its current shape
Lea Ferreira dos Santos professor of physics and chair of the physics department at Stern College for Women has received two major awards that will significantly help her advance the computational study of many body quantum systems
In Santos received a National Science Foundation grant to study Nonequilibrium Quantum Matter Timescales and Self Averaging
The grant is a collaboration between the NSF and the U Israel Binational Science Foundation BSF that reduced barriers to working internationally
Using a lead agency model U and Israeli researchers can submit a single collaborative proposal that will undergo a single review process at NSF which will be the lead agency
This collaboration noted Santos will allow for the combination of complementary skills and will significantly expand the NSF PI group size and computer resources
A further benefit of the collaboration will be that the undergraduate students of Yeshiva University will have the opportunity to experience research at a Ph D granting institution in Israel
This award supports computational and theoretical studies of the evolution of systems that have many interacting particles and which are described by quantum mechanics
These so called many body quantum systems are so complex that it is often impossible to describe their evolution analytically which forces us to resort to numerical methods
But even numerically the problem is challenging
Because the number of states that need to be considered grows exponentially with system size existing computers soon run out of memory
As a result despite being ubiquitous these systems are still little understood
Understanding the properties of many body quantum systems out of equilibrium is a fundamental problem of great interest to a wide range of fields from atomic molecular and condensed matter physics to quantum information and cosmology
These studies may also lead to practical applications
Santos also received notice that she had been selected as a Simons Fellows in Theoretical Physics by the Simons Foundation an organization dedicated to advancing the frontiers of research in mathematics and the basic sciences
The selection includes a grant to support sabbatical research leaves from classroom teaching and administrative obligations and is based on the applicant scientific accomplishments in the five year period preceding the application and on the potential scientific impact of the work to be done during the leave period
Santos project will be Nonequilibrium Quantum Dynamics of Many Body Systems and as she explained it the grant will give her the time and space to expand her current program of studying nonequilibrium quantum dynamics by allowing her to initiate a new research line develop computer codes strengthen current collaborations and establish new ones and write proposals
Of course Santos is thrilled by these awards not only for the way they help her advance her career but also for the positive notice they bring to Yeshiva University
I m especially pleased she noted that the NSF grant will help my undergraduate students at Stern College work with leaders in the field and across the two countries
The Simons fellowship is a very prestigious award and I m humbled by being included in the exceptional company of the past awardees
Both Selma Botman provost and vice president for academic affairs and Karen Bacon the Mordecai D Katz and Monique C Katz Dean of the Undergraduate Faculty of Arts and Sciences were both thrilled to hear the news
We are so very very proud of her achievements said Bacon as well as of this recognition of her as an exceptional scientist and scholar
