迪安的消息

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 圣何塞州立大学 理学院，在那里我们 Create Knowledge and Expand Opportunity. Take a walk through any of our classrooms, research labs, or field sites and you will find extraordinary things going on. 我们的 faculty and students work together to discover knowledge at the frontiers of their 字段 and at the interfaces between 字段. Their research programs cover issues of great importance to modern society, including such diverse topics as:

• Climate change and its influence on Urban Heat Islands
• Development of chemical defenses against human pathogens
• Mathematical behavior of social/financial systems
• Construction of AI-based cybersecurity defenses
• Behavior of nanomaterials for 硅谷 applications
• Decoding neurological disorders
• Teaching techniques that best help students learn scientific topics such as physics, 化学与生物学
• Making aquaculture sustainable
• Invention of medical diagnostic devices for use in the developing world.

Of course, we also pursue knowledge for its own sake, so you will find groups that study the properties of prime numbers, dark matter and galaxy formation, the history of extinctions on Earth, and the meaning of time. Government agencies and foundations such as the National 科学 Foundation, National 研究院 of Health, Department of Defense, NASA, EPA, The State of California, Mozilla Foundation, Center for Inclusive Computing, and others fund our research and education efforts. 我们的工作范围很广 to the scientific enterprise, 一个 of the greatest ongoing human achievements, while ensuring that all of our students, regardless of socioeconomic status, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation have the opportunity to join the scientific field of 他们的选择.

The research we undertake greatly informs our teaching and ensures that students are up-to-date in the latest knowledge and techniques within their 字段 of study. 我们的 traditional degree programs are evolving to include interdisciplinary 字段 like Computational Linguistics, Bioinformatics, Quantum Technology, and Data 科学. 当 they complete a degree from the 理学院, students will be ready to take the next steps in their careers, whether in industry research labs, K-12 classrooms, or advanced graduate programs. I encourage you to browse our 部门网页 and learn about the wide range of programs and 研究的机会.

We are extremely excited about the completion of our newest facility, the 8-story Interdisciplinary 科学 Building, where teaching, research and collaboration are integrated to ensure our students are expertly trained and ready to solve some of the world’s most challenging problems: virology, cancer, wildfire, high performance computing, and more. . 

I believe in communicating all of the exciting events, opportunities, and results coming out of the 理学院. 你可以跟着我 脸谱网 or 推特, or 注册 to be added to our college mailing list. I look forward to hearing from you.
