The math department plans to introduce an optional co-op program for the Master of Science in Applied Mathematics (MSAM) and the Master of Science in Operation Research (MSOR). Under this plan the students in these two programs will have the opportunity to experience Northeastern University’s renowned cooperative education program. Interested students will need to take […]

Dr. Nathaniel Bottman, currently a Research Instructor in the Mathematics Department, has been awarded a 3-year Postdoctoral Fellowship from the National Science Foundation. Dr. Bottman will conduct research on the topics “Functoriality for the Fukaya category” during his tenure at Princeton University, under the mentorship of Professors Helmut Hofer and Nick Sheridan. Dr. Bottman obtained […]

Every March, Brain Awareness Week (BAW) is a global campaign to increase public awareness of the progress and benefits of brain research. NEURONs club and Nu Rho Psi have united with other worldwide organizations in this celebration of the brain throughout the week of March 21-25.  Please see the full schedule here.

BNS junior, Ronan Talty, won the Nu Rho Psi Poster award for scientific merit at the 29th Annual NEURON conference at Quinnipaic University on Sunday, February 28th, 2016.  As a member of Dr. Shansky’s lab of Neuroanatomy and Behavior, Ronan investigated “Estrogen-dopamine interactions during extinction learning in female rats”. A dozen BNS students and faculty […]

Provost James C. Bean announced this week that Iris Berent is this year's Robert D. Klein Lecturer.

Congratulations to Prof. Iris Berent, who has been selected selected as the 52nd Robert D. Klein University Lecturer!

Alexandros Makriyannis, George D. Behrakis Endowed Chair at Northeastern and Founder and Director of the Center for Drug Discovery (CDD), has received the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) Distinguished Pharmaceutical Scientist Award for 2015.

A study by a team of MSC and University of North Carolina researchers reveals that ocean acidification makes it harder for crabs to prey on oysters, despite the oysters having a thinner shell.

Keeyon Olia, a third-year psychology major, recently completed a co-op as a clinical research student in the Sleep Inflammatory Systems Laboratory at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and was featured in an article in News@Northeastern, the University's daily newsletter.

Northeastern research professor K.M. Abraham goes inside the self-balancing scooters to reveal the science behind their combustion.

“I had thought about being a doctor before this experience,” said Keeyon Olia, S’18, “but not as seriously and not with as much confidence.”

Pan­cre­atic cancer is a noto­ri­ously treatment-​​resistant dis­ease. Assis­tant pro­fessor Bryan Q. Spring develops pho­to­dy­namic light-​​based ther­a­pies that both target the malig­nant cells and stop the sig­naling between them that sparks new tumor growth. It’s a novel one-​​two punch approach to per­son­al­ized medicine. “With dif­fi­cult malig­nan­cies like pan­cre­atic cancer, you can never kill all the cancer […]

A new paper published in Nature by Professor Albert-László Barabási and his colleagues Jianxi Gao and Baruch Barzel, describe a tool they've developed using statistical physics, to identify the tipping point between resilience and collapse in complex systems.

Using statistical physics, network scientist Albert-László Barabási and his colleagues have developed the first-ever tool to identify whether systems—be they technological, ecological, or biological—are in danger of failing.
