DISCOVER YOUR INNER INVENTOR, INNOVATOR AND ENTREPRENEUR Congratulations on being admitted to the NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering (or Poly, for short). In a few months I hope to welcome you officially to the class of 2018. Over the past 160 years or so, students have come to Poly and discovered the important role of invention, innovation and entrepreneurship in their education, and the meaning of the “American Dream” (a phrase coined by a Poly alumnus). If you choose to attend Poly, you will not only be able to take advantage of these and the amenities of ‘sizzling’ Brooklyn, but also partake in the academic and social richness of the main campus located just across the river in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. Our merger with NYU has created new cross-disciplinary opportunities between engineering on one hand, and art, business and law, on the other—not to mention science and mathematics. It will also provide you with enriching interactions with students in all disciplines and from all over the globe; and your education will at once be rigorous and broad. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions that will help you make your decision about the next step in your life. I hope that it will lead you to NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering, Brooklyn, and New York. Sincerely,
Katepalli R. Sreenivasan President and Dean of Engineering at NYU

THOMAS JOSEPH KELLY
Lunar Module—Class of 1958 In 1962, NASA gave Chief Engineer Thomas Joseph Kelly the challenge of designing and building the Lunar Module (LM) for the Apollo 11 mission. After several experiments, Kelly developed a two-stage design for the LM—one that would descend onto the Moon and another that would ascend back to the Command Module. The upper section was the ascent stage, which contained the crew compartment. The ascent
stage’s Reaction Control System (RCS) provided 3,500 pounds of thrust—enough to launch it into lunar orbit. The lower section was the descent stage, which stored equipment, as well as a rocket engine, landing gear, fuel and oxidizer tanks. On July 20, 1969, Kelly’s LM safely landed Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, Jr. on the surface of the Moon, solidifying the designer’s influential place in history.

ENLIGHTENING THE WORLD BY UNLEASHING THE POWER OF LIGHT engineering.nyu.edu/i2e
Gordon Gould LASER窶認aculty
One of the pioneers of the LASER, Gordon Gould, coined its acronym, which stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. His studies in optical and microwave spectroscopy provided him the background necessary for formulating his original concepts of LASER technology. The idea began in 1957 when Gould realized that one could make an appropriate optical resonator by using two mirrors in the form of a Fabry-Perot interferometer. He predicted that such
an optical resonator in an appropriate laser gain medium and a pump source to excite the particles could heat materials to extremely high temperatures in a fraction of a second. The research he recorded was the first written description for building a LASER and in 1977 he would eventually be awarded a patent. Since then, the technology has evolved significantly, making medical procedures faster and more precise, as well as advancing home entertainment in CD, DVD and Blu-ray players.

STEPHEN ARNOLD Biosensors—Faculty
Dr. Stephen Arnold, professor of physics and chemistry, noticed the way microscopic particles interacted with light. This observation led him to invent a prototype for a biosensor—the world’s most sensitive virus detection device—that identifies infectious agents in real time. Named the “Whispering Mode Biosensor,” his development is capable of isolating a single blood-borne virus and locating a foreign particle in a patient’s
blood, immediately saving precious time and ultimately saving lives. Recent advancements to the technology enabled Arnold and his team to set a record for identifying the smallest single virus particles in solution. Instant detection of a viral or toxic infection is a perennial health-care need and yet-to-be-realized clinical dream that is increasingly important in an age that faces pandemics and bioterrorism threats.

Digital Media—Faculty R. Luke DuBois is an American composer, performer, conceptual new media artist, programmer, record producer, laptop musician and pedagogue. As a conceptual artist, DuBois takes on various topics in American culture and places them under a computational microscope, attempting to raise issues relevant to information theory, perception of time, canonicity and gaze. His research into issues of musical time revolve around a technique called time-lapse phonography, as used in his piece “Billboard.” Like his artwork, his instrumental writing is often
based on techniques derived from stochastic music and data mining, using metaphors and information from cultural topics as source material but with a post-modern stylistic approach. Having collaborated with a wide range of artists and musicians, his music integrates real-time performer-computer interaction with algorithmic methodologies repurposed from other fields, most notably formal grammars such as L-systems. DuBois is the co-author of Jitter, a software suite for developing video effects in Max/MSP by Cycling 74.
