Ongoing
biomedical research and development, combined with unique facilities
at the University and Brookhaven National Laboratories, have
helped distinguish Stony Brook as a superb resource for education
and research in both the engineering and health sciences. We
pride ourselves in not only offering the best facilities in
the field, but also in the incredible access that all of our
students have to them.
Affliated Labs,
Brookhaven
National Laboratory
The US Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory
creates and operates major facilities available to university,
industrial and government personnel for basic and applied
research in physical, biomedical and environmental sciences,
and in selected energy technologies.
Center for Biotechnology
The Center for Biotechnology was established in 1983 as
a cooperative research and development partnership between
universities, private industry, and New York State. Its goal
has been to capitalize on the resources of New York's medical
biotechnology research for the purpose of fuelling economic
development in New York State. The Center is involved in the
discovery of commercially promising technology resulting from
academix research and in the early stge development of these
technologies. The Center administers the Innovative Technology
Grant program which funds innovative research in New York
State academic and research institutions targeted torward
the technological interests of the New York bioscience industry.
Development of innovative research for commercializarion is
conducted in the Applied Bioscience Laboratory at the Center.
Communications, Signal Processing, Speech and Vision Laboratory
The CSPV Laboratory supports the research efforts of five
faculty members and about 15 graduate students of the Department
of Electrical Engineering whose work is in the areas of communications
and signal processing. Ongoing research projects involve mobile
and wireless networks, teletraffic performance modeling, image
processing, computer communications, digital speech processing,
data transmission using coded modulation, multiple-access
systems, dynamic channel assignment, network performance evaluation,
signal detection, information theory, Bayesian parameter estimation
and computer vision. The laboratory is located in Rooms 202
and 204 in the Light Engineering Building at the State University
of New York at Stony Brook
Medical Imaging Laboratory
The Medical Imaging Laboratories (MIL) are home to two
research groups conducting investigations in sensor instrumentation,
data acquisition strategies, image formation, processing and
analysis. The labs are part of the Department of Radiology,
and are also affiliated with the Departments of Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science, as well as the USB Department
of Biomedical Engineering. The faculty and staff members are
jointly appointed in Radiology and in the Departments of Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science. The graduate student body
is from the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Two
research groups in the labs have their own particular emphases.The
labs are home to the Laboratory for Imaging Research and Informatics
(IRIS) and the Medical Image Processing Laboratory (MIPL).
The IRIS emphasizes the optimization of data acquisition,
strategies of image formation, and information communication.
Medical Image Processing Laboratory (MIPL): The MIPL has its
main expertise in theoretical methods of image reconstruction
and image analysis.
Polymer Structure Laboratory
The Garcia Center for Polymers at Engineered Interfaces
is a collaboration of academic, industrial, and government
laboratories. The Garcia Center is funded by the National
Science Foundation as part of its Materials Research Science
and Engineering Center (MRSEC) program. The goal of the MRSEC
is to combine the instrumentation and expertise of the participating
institutions into a coordinated research program on polymers
interface science. The principal focus areas include thin
films, coatings, nanostructured materials, and composites.
These areas address both the fundamental and applied aspects
that are relevant to the development of cutting edge enabling
technologies for a diverse group of U.S. industries. In the
community, the mission of the center is to serve as a valuable
resource providing easy access for technological assistance
to educational and industrial institutions.
Rapid Prototyping
(RP) Facility
The College of Engineering and Applied Science at SUNY
Stony Brook has acquired two rapid prototypers. These devices
allow for the 3-dimensional printing (not machining) of complex
shapes from digital data. Stony Brook's Rapid Prototyping
(RP) facility currently houses a Stratasys FDM3000, and will
shortly include a DTM2500+. The 3000 prints three dimensional
objects using ABS plastic, medical ABS, an elastomer, and
casting wax. The built volume is 10x10x16", with a 10mil layer
thickness. Also, the support structure is now water soluble.
The 2500+ builts objects out of polyamide (PA), glass-filled
PA, an elastomer, copper PA, rapid-steel, casting polystyrene,
casting Zr-sand, and casting Si-sand. Stainless steel will
be added shortly. The built size is 15x13x18", with a 5 mil
layer thickness.
Thermal Spray Laboratory
A comprehensive industrial-oriented facility for the production
and analysis of protective coatings for wear and corrosion
resistance and free-standing bulk forms. Using the various
resources of the laboratory, it is possible to melt-spray
virtually any industrial material, from boron to heavy reactive
metals, ceramics and a wide range of polymers. The Thermal
Spray Lab (TSL) under the directorship of Prof. Herman is
a 15,000 sq.ft. self-contained facility. TSL is a unique research,
development, and teaching institution. For some 20 years TSL
has been producing graduates for the thermal spray industry
and has assisted a large number of industrial organizations
with R&D problems. Due to its wide range of experimental and
equipment capabilities, TSL has been effective in promoting
and evaluating thermal spray for diverse OEM applications.
In a like manner, both undergraduate and graduate students
participate actively in research programs on a wide range
of thermal spray topics.
Visualization Laboratory
The Visualization Laboratory of the Department of Computer
Science at the State University of New York at Stony Brook
was founded and is headed by Leading Professor and Chairman,
Dr. Arie E. Kaufman. Most of the research conducted here involves
the development of volume rendering techniques used in scientific
visualization and virtual reality applications. Currently,
the laboratory has projects in: architectures for volume rendering,
parallel methods for volume rendering (regular and irregular
grids), development of tools for visualization, flow visualization.
X-ray Optics and Microscopy
Research at the X-ray OPtics and Microscopy lab involves
the use of coherent soft x rays for optics experiments. Much
of our effort is directed towards using Fresnel zone plates
to produce the smallest focused spot of electromagnetic waves
of any wavelength, and exploiting that microfocused beam for
studies of biological and materials science specimens. This
group is supported by the Department of Energy (Office of
Health and Environmental Research) and the National Science
Foundation (ECS Division).
Center
for Molecular Cardiology
Biofluids
Lab
The focus of the Biofluids laboratory is on studying the dynamics
of blood flow and cellular transport in the cardiovascular
system, with an emphasis on flow induced mechanism underlying
cardiovascular disease processes and their progression.
Cardiac
Cell Engineering Lab
Designing and characterizing heart cell networks and functional
heart tissue in the lab is the focus of the Cardiac Cell Engineering
Laboratory.
