“It is part of our mission here to meet learners where they are, offer them programs that are accessible both financially and but also from a scheduling perspective, and flexible, as something they can do in their free time,” says Liad Wagman, dean of Illinois Institute of Technology's Stuart School of Business.
Born and raised in Tokyo, Yuta Katsuyama came to the United States as a graduate student in 2018 to study business and design at Illinois Institute of Technology. During that time he launched a food startup called Onigiri Kororin for a school project, which has now grown into a company producing products available at over 30 locations in Chicago. “Sometimes I feel like I'm living a dream,” said Katsuyama. “I always wanted to start my own business.”
“The majority held that you cannot parse a state regulation and say that it’s having to do mostly with morals as opposed to protection for the citizens of the state,” says Harold Krent, law professor at Chicago-Kent College of Law. “So that distinction that was forwarded by the pork producers was clearly rejected by a majority of the court, which is the controversial aspect of the decision because it does then open up other states to enact morals legislation which has an impact on out-of-state commerce.”
“If you’re designing a new building, you have a lot of freedom to look at new technologies that save on energy consumption, but for existing buildings, you have limited options,” says Assistant Professor of Architectural Engineering Mohammad Heidarinejad, who led a research team that studied the effectiveness of window shades in reducing energy consumption
“Legal change does not make change on the ground, does not make social change. This is the lesson of history, certainly in the case of race relations,” says Christopher Schmidt, a professor of law at Chicago-Kent College of Law and author of “The Sit-Ins: Protest and Legal Change in the Civil Rights Era.” “But what we need, and what the sit-ins show us, is that when we have legal change in conjunction with social protest, then you can actually get changes on the ground.”
“In addition to the exciting findings of energy savings and payback period, this project served as a perfect example of the type of industry-relevant research we enjoy—combining field measurements and computer simulations to evaluate a unique strategy to save energy in one of the most famous buildings in the world,” says Brent Stephens, a co-principal investigator on the project and the Arthur W. Hill Endowed Chair in Sustainability.
To protect the shelf-life and quality of your jams and jellies, it's best to store them in the refrigerator. The cold temperature will significantly slow down the growth of microorganisms, according to Alvin Lee, Ph.D., associate professor of food and nutrition at Illinois Institute of Technology.
“Spoofing vehicles can be very dangerous,” says Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Boris Pervan. “If you spoof one car, and that information gets passed on to others, it’s infecting the whole system. On the other hand, the information from the other vehicles could be of some use to tell you that you’re being spoofed, so right now we have no idea how that trade-off will play out.”
Representatives for DMG MORI and Illinois Institute of Technology, who are developing a national center for advanced manufacturing in Chicago, discussed shared goals of providing the workforce training to prepare the millions of new workers needed to help revive American semiconductor and advanced manufacturing sectors, as well as cultivating applied research and development in critical industrial sectors.
Illinois Institute of Technology's Center for Assured and Resilient Navigation in Advanced Transportation Systems (CARNATIONS), led by Professor Boris Pervan, was named a new Tier 1 University Transportation Center (UTC) by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT). As a Tier 1 UTC, CARNATIONS will receive a $10 million grant from USDOT for improving transportation navigation systems by making them more resilient to cyber attacks such as spoofing and jamming.
