‘TII’ Will Advance Semiconductor Research and Workforce Development
State University of New York Chancellor John B. King Jr. today announced the launch of the SUNY – NY Creates Technology Innovation Institute (TII) to bolster future semiconductor research and workforce development.
For more than a decade, WolfieTank has celebrated innovation and bold thinking at Stony Brook University.
Modeled after the television show Shark Tank, the annual pitch competition invites students to present their entrepreneurial ideas to a panel of industry judges. Now in its 11th year, the event has grown into a showcase of creativity and collaboration across disciplines.
“It feels successful to me every year because we get to empower entrepreneurs and get them to really develop and showcase their work,” said David Ecker, director of iCREATE and the founder of WolfieTank. “We need to have a way of showcasing their entrepreneurial ideas, and this is a way.”
Stony Brook University’s College of Business will host a groundbreaking event titled, “Artificial Intelligence: Reshaping Learning and Work – Building Human Connections Through Communication” on Tuesday, April 15, from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm via Zoom.
Neuroscientist Anthony Zador, MD, PhD, will present the 27th annual Swartz Foundation Mind Brain Lecture on Monday, March 31, at 4 pm on Staller Center’s Main Stage. Dr. Zador works at the intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence.
Over the course of seven weeks, Stony Brook faculty will offer students introductions to two hot-button issues: climate change and artificial intelligence.

The one-credit asynchronous online courses will give students different perspectives on the two issues through academic modules led by university faculty from different disciplines.
Enrollment is open now for:

A team at Stony Brook University recently won a $55,000 grant from SUNY’s Innovative Instruction Technology Grants (IITG) program to build an online community of practice for faculty navigating AI and academic integrity issues.
