These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.

A sequence of fragmented spaces reveals disjointed views — bodies without faces, views that are never simply given but must be physically negotiated — exposing the compromises of dense living, where seeing and being seen are never fully in your control. Wrapped in a reflective skin, the structure blurs inside and outside, and the line between watching and being watched begins to dissolve.

The Housing Innovation Lab (HiLab) explores the intersections of environmental, societal, and well-being concerns linked to housing and investigates synergies between building performance and quality of life across scales.

The Housing Innovation Lab is directed by Lecturer and Housing Innovation Research Fellow Katharina Kral.

This project is supported by the Cornell Council for the Arts and the Dean’s Professional Development Fund.

Join ILR faculty Rebecca Kehoe and host JR Keller for "The Surprise Benefits of Hiring Job Hoppers Unlocking Adaptability and Social Intelligence," as they look into the science behind job hopper advantages and demonstrate when these benefits are most pronounced — from organizations with deeply ingrained cultures to roles requiring extensive collaboration. Whether you're a hiring manager, talent acquisition professional, or HR leader, you'll gain evidence-based insights to transform how you evaluate candidates with varied employment histories and develop more effective onboarding strategies.

What You'll Learn:

Why job hoppers experience smaller performance declines and recover more quickly than their less-mobile peers when joining new organizationsThe three key hiring contexts where job hopper advantages are most pronounced: established cultures, unfamiliar professional environments, and collaborative rolesHow to distinguish between flight risk and adaptability signals when evaluating candidates with frequent job changes, then tailor your assessment criteria accordinglyEvidence-based strategies for optimizing onboarding processes based on newcomers' mobility experience and the specific social integration challenges they'll face

These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.

A sequence of fragmented spaces reveals disjointed views — bodies without faces, views that are never simply given but must be physically negotiated — exposing the compromises of dense living, where seeing and being seen are never fully in your control. Wrapped in a reflective skin, the structure blurs inside and outside, and the line between watching and being watched begins to dissolve.

The Housing Innovation Lab (HiLab) explores the intersections of environmental, societal, and well-being concerns linked to housing and investigates synergies between building performance and quality of life across scales.

The Housing Innovation Lab is directed by Lecturer and Housing Innovation Research Fellow Katharina Kral.

This project is supported by the Cornell Council for the Arts and the Dean’s Professional Development Fund.

These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.

A sequence of fragmented spaces reveals disjointed views — bodies without faces, views that are never simply given but must be physically negotiated — exposing the compromises of dense living, where seeing and being seen are never fully in your control. Wrapped in a reflective skin, the structure blurs inside and outside, and the line between watching and being watched begins to dissolve.

The Housing Innovation Lab (HiLab) explores the intersections of environmental, societal, and well-being concerns linked to housing and investigates synergies between building performance and quality of life across scales.

The Housing Innovation Lab is directed by Lecturer and Housing Innovation Research Fellow Katharina Kral.

This project is supported by the Cornell Council for the Arts and the Dean’s Professional Development Fund.

These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.

A sequence of fragmented spaces reveals disjointed views — bodies without faces, views that are never simply given but must be physically negotiated — exposing the compromises of dense living, where seeing and being seen are never fully in your control. Wrapped in a reflective skin, the structure blurs inside and outside, and the line between watching and being watched begins to dissolve.

The Housing Innovation Lab (HiLab) explores the intersections of environmental, societal, and well-being concerns linked to housing and investigates synergies between building performance and quality of life across scales.

The Housing Innovation Lab is directed by Lecturer and Housing Innovation Research Fellow Katharina Kral.

This project is supported by the Cornell Council for the Arts and the Dean’s Professional Development Fund.

Reduced-order models (ROMs) seek low-dimensional descriptions of complex dynamical systems to enable fast simulation, forecasting, and control. Most modern ROMs for highly nonlinear, large-scale systems such as those arising in fluid dynamics choose reduced modeling variables according to how well they reconstruct observed system states. This principle is highly effective when trajectories lie near a low-dimensional manifold, but it can fail dramatically when small, low-variance perturbations have a large effect on future behavior. I will present an alternative viewpoint in which reduced state variables are chosen to preserve the quantities that matter for a specific prediction or control task. The key additional information comes from gradients, which reveal directions in state space that strongly influence future outputs, rare events, or control objectives. I will introduce sensitivity-balanced model reduction and illustrate it through nonlinear fluid-flow forecasting, prediction and suppression of extreme events, and recent work on reduced-order optimal control. These examples suggest a broader framework for constructing ROMs that preserve sensitivity rather than state reconstruction alone.

Bio: Samuel Otto joined the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering faculty as an assistant professor in July 2024. His lab exploits mathematical structure and data to develop faster algorithms for simulating, learning, reducing, and controlling complex engineering systems. Prior to this, he was a Postdoctoral Scholar at the AI Institute in Dynamic Systems at the University of Washington. He received his Ph.D. in mechanical and aerospace engineering from Princeton University in May 2022 and his B.S. in aeronautics and astronautics from Purdue University in 2016. He enjoys science fiction, fantasy, and weightlifting and can usually be found in a coffee shop with a math textbook.

Suppose there is an all-powerful being who has decided that it is for the best that some perfectly ordinary human being should be unable to sin. But—and this is the tricky part—that ordinary human being must also be meritorious in her actions. Can someone be unable to sin and yet be morally praiseworthy? Could even an all-powerful being bring about that state of affairs? I will consider how William Ockham attempted to answer those questions in the affirmative.

Reception to follow.

These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.

A sequence of fragmented spaces reveals disjointed views — bodies without faces, views that are never simply given but must be physically negotiated — exposing the compromises of dense living, where seeing and being seen are never fully in your control. Wrapped in a reflective skin, the structure blurs inside and outside, and the line between watching and being watched begins to dissolve.

The Housing Innovation Lab (HiLab) explores the intersections of environmental, societal, and well-being concerns linked to housing and investigates synergies between building performance and quality of life across scales.

The Housing Innovation Lab is directed by Lecturer and Housing Innovation Research Fellow Katharina Kral.

This project is supported by the Cornell Council for the Arts and the Dean’s Professional Development Fund.

Electrochemistry presents unique opportunities for chemical synthesis, but it also faces challenges that hinder widespread adoption by organic chemists and industrial practitioners. Fundamental thermodynamic and kinetic concepts that are well established in the field of electrochemical energy conversion have important implications for electrochemical synthesis. This talk will feature a series of vignettes from our group’s exploration of electrochemical synthesis, including the role of electrochemical mediators to overcome overpotential limitations often encountered in electrosynthesis and development of new electrochemical oxidation and reduction reactions. Oxidation methods include the development of oxygen-atom-transfer reactions that use water as source of oxygen atoms. Examples include the preparation of sulfoxides from sulfides, epoxides from alkenes, and N-oxides from aromatic nitrogen heterocycles. Reduction methods have prioritized Ni-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling reactions, with the goal of understanding the fundamental principles that govern reactivity and selectivity that could enable adoption of these methods in large-scale applications.

A sequence of fragmented spaces reveals disjointed views — bodies without faces, views that are never simply given but must be physically negotiated — exposing the compromises of dense living, where seeing and being seen are never fully in your control. Wrapped in a reflective skin, the structure blurs inside and outside, and the line between watching and being watched begins to dissolve.

The Housing Innovation Lab (HiLab) explores the intersections of environmental, societal, and well-being concerns linked to housing and investigates synergies between building performance and quality of life across scales.

The Housing Innovation Lab is directed by Lecturer and Housing Innovation Research Fellow Katharina Kral.

These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.

Yanni’s “pains” approach the body and society through a sensitive and critical lens. Her works examine the pain imposed on bodies, individuals, and collective spaces through research into the Three Gorges Dam, the Dashilar redevelopment, and the contemporary persistence of foot-binding-like pressures. These forms of pain emerge in different moments and through different structures: sometimes through the body, sometimes through the mind, and sometimes through the spaces we inhabit together.

The “growing” part by Ruotong is a story for all mothers and children. It traces the cycles within relationships, and the subtle process of breaking those cycles. It attends to the nuances of life, its poignancy, its quiet emotional weight. The piece translates narrative into feeling, and feeling into visual language.

Ultimately, Ruotong and Yanni seek a space for emotional autonomy and feeling, for themselves, and for the viewer.

To optimise environmental and economic sustainability of biogas processes, we need to scavenge all products and by-products of anaerobic digestion. There are numerous potential configurations and pathways we can design to maximise sustainability (both environmental and economic), typically involving circular bioeconomy concepts utilising a series of cascading technologies.

We can consider three main products of anaerobic digestion; biomethane (CH4), biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2), and digestate. A stable continuous production of energy in the form of biogas may not be optimal. We can produce energy on demand, we can ramp up production to suit a particular time schedule, and in so doing, increase the economic return by availing of the day ahead electricity market. If the desired end-product is biomethane (termed renewable natural gas), then CO2 within the biogas can be converted to micro-algae. Such a system would involve biogas upgrading via a carbonate bicarbonate tower whereby CO2 in the biogas supports growth of micro-algae, a valuable product with uses including as a super food. Alternatively, we may not produce energy but rather produce PHAs (bioplastics) from volatile fatty acids produced within the digester.

Solid digestate can be converted to biochar (via pyrolysis). We can tune biochar: at high temperatures (700oC) we can optimise porosity and achieve surface areas of 400m2/g; at low temperatures (300oC) we can optimise conductivity. Conductivity is shown to enhance bacterial activity when biochar is added to a fermentation process; it also has a beneficial role in direct interspecies electron transfer between bacteria and archaea. Porosity is preferred in filtering out contaminants in wastewaters (as required in recast EU Water Directive) and in 3D printing of electrodes. Addition of electrodes with a voltage differential of 1 volt within a digester can convert CO2 to CH4 in-situ and in essence increase energy output of a biogas facility by over 80%, whilst negating the need for traditional physio-chemical biogas upgrading.

We can go beyond CH4 as an energy vector. For example, we can use bio-electrochemistry in enhancing microbial elongation in production of high value medium chain carboxylic acids (such as C6 caproic acid) from CO2 in biogas. We can make liquid fuels, such as biomethanol from steam reforming of biomethane, or we can use renewable hydrogen to react with biogenic CO2 (by-product of biomethane) to make e-methanol. Methanol (e- or bio-) is likely to be a shipping fuel of the future. Methanol is also a precursor for sustainable aviation fuel via an alcohol to jet process.

For net zero we must expand biogas processes into broader biorefinery and bioeconomy systems.

Abstract:

In around 1818 in Allahabad, an ageing munshi, Sadasukh ‘Niyazi’ Dihlawi, formerly in the employ of the British East India Company, wrote an unusual and salacious Persian history of the age of Mughal decline and British expansionism. This talk reads Munshi Sadasukh’s little-known text, Muntakhab-ut-tawarikh, as a ‘counter-history’ of early British India from the perspective of a middle-ranking, Persian-educated munshi. It shows how Sadasukh’s creative reconstruction of the era of British conquests inserted the figure of the late Mughal munshi as a put-upon steward of imperial virtue facing down escalating threats of financial and sexual corruption. Situating Sadasukh’s fabulous history in the Persianate world of north Indian scribal elites, the talk asks how attending to the political thought of ‘middling’ scribes can offer an alternative perspective on the political culture of early colonial India.

Robert Travers is Professor of History and Director of the South Asia Program at Cornell. He is the author of two books about colonial state formation in eastern India in the late eighteenth century, Ideology and Empire in Eighteenth Century India: The British in Bengal (Cambridge, 2007), and Empires of Complaints. Mughal Law and the Making of British India, 1765-1793 (Cambridge, 2023). He is currently working on a new history of the parliamentary impeachment trial of the British Governor of Bengal, Warren Hastings.

Title: The Landscape of Stellar Death

Abstract: Cosmic explosions (“transients”) have wide-ranging impact in astrophysics: on the lives and deaths of stars, the formation of compact objects (neutron stars and black holes), and heavy-element nucleosynthesis. The rapid growth of the field has been fueled in large part by telescopes opening new parameter space in timescale and wavelength. In this talk I will describe the emerging landscape of optical transients that last only a few minutes to a few days, and the implications of such fleeting phenomena for our understanding of stellar evolution, black-hole formation, and relativistic particle acceleration.

These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.

A sequence of fragmented spaces reveals disjointed views — bodies without faces, views that are never simply given but must be physically negotiated — exposing the compromises of dense living, where seeing and being seen are never fully in your control. Wrapped in a reflective skin, the structure blurs inside and outside, and the line between watching and being watched begins to dissolve.

The Housing Innovation Lab (HiLab) explores the intersections of environmental, societal, and well-being concerns linked to housing and investigates synergies between building performance and quality of life across scales.

The Housing Innovation Lab is directed by Lecturer and Housing Innovation Research Fellow Katharina Kral.

This project is supported by the Cornell Council for the Arts and the Dean’s Professional Development Fund.

Yanni’s “pains” approach the body and society through a sensitive and critical lens. Her works examine the pain imposed on bodies, individuals, and collective spaces through research into the Three Gorges Dam, the Dashilar redevelopment, and the contemporary persistence of foot-binding-like pressures. These forms of pain emerge in different moments and through different structures: sometimes through the body, sometimes through the mind, and sometimes through the spaces we inhabit together.

The “growing” part by Ruotong is a story for all mothers and children. It traces the cycles within relationships, and the subtle process of breaking those cycles. It attends to the nuances of life, its poignancy, its quiet emotional weight. The piece translates narrative into feeling, and feeling into visual language.

Ultimately, Ruotong and Yanni seek a space for emotional autonomy and feeling, for themselves, and for the viewer.

Title: Scheduling Algorithms for Quantum Switches

Abstract: We consider scheduling in a quantum switch with stochastic entanglement generation, finite quantum memories, and decoherence. The objective is to design a scheduling algorithm with polynomial-time computational complexity that stabilizes a nontrivial fraction of the capacity region. Scheduling in such a switch corresponds to finding a matching in a graph subject to additional constraints. We propose an LP-based policy, which finds a point in the matching polytope, which is further implemented using a randomized decomposition into matchings. The main challenge is that service over an edge is feasible only when entanglement is simultaneously available at both endpoint memories, so the effective service rates depend on the steady-state availability induced by the scheduling rule. To address this, we introduce a single-node reference Markov chain and derive lower bounds on achievable service rates in terms of the steady-state nonemptiness probabilities. We then use a Lyapunov drift argument to show that, whenever the request arrival rates lie within the resulting throughput region, the proposed algorithm stabilizes the request queues. We further analyze how the achievable throughput depends on entanglement generation rates, decoherence probabilities, and buffer sizes, and show that the throughput lower bound converges exponentially fast to its infinite-buffer limit as the memory size increases. Numerical results illustrate that the guaranteed throughput fraction is substantial for parameter regimes relevant to near-term quantum networking systems.

Who can join: Any student is invited to join! You will benefit the most if you commit to join all sessions, except for instances when you're sick or are prevented from attending for unavoidable reasons. This will help you carve this time for learning about studying strategies, organizing and planning your study sessions as well as using the time to practice active learning. Attending all sessions will make it easier for you to create a study routine in a space that fosters accountability.

What we’ll do: We will first discuss a topic or attend a short presentation given by Cornell staff with expertise in different areas, followed by hands-on practice of skills learned--many times, you learn about a study method or how to register to request accommodations and intend to put the method into practice or fill out the form, only to forget to do it. This way, you will do it and will have staff from the relevant office present to guide you and help you troubleshoot any issues. During the second part of the session, you will engage in individual or small group work, evaluating your progress so far and determining what, if any, changes they need to make. We will be there as your accountability partner and will guide you as needed.

These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.

Yanni’s “pains” approach the body and society through a sensitive and critical lens. Her works examine the pain imposed on bodies, individuals, and collective spaces through research into the Three Gorges Dam, the Dashilar redevelopment, and the contemporary persistence of foot-binding-like pressures. These forms of pain emerge in different moments and through different structures: sometimes through the body, sometimes through the mind, and sometimes through the spaces we inhabit together.

The “growing” part by Ruotong is a story for all mothers and children. It traces the cycles within relationships, and the subtle process of breaking those cycles. It attends to the nuances of life, its poignancy, its quiet emotional weight. The piece translates narrative into feeling, and feeling into visual language.

Ultimately, Ruotong and Yanni seek a space for emotional autonomy and feeling, for themselves, and for the viewer.

Abstract

In 1978, the tropical city-state of Singapore received three polar bears, starting a dynasty of polar bears that ended in 2018. Within the lifespan of these tropical polar bears, the entire planet has undergone rapid and exponential growth in economies, human populations, agricultural intensification, deforestation, and the burning and consuming of carbon and chemicals--all indelibly changing the entire planet. Singapore has been a central hub for 20th and 21st century economic development, despite its dearth of natural resources. How might the story of Singapore’s famously cultivated landscape be told from the perspective of wild Canadian-born polar bears held captive in tropical Singapore? What forms of ferality erupted the controlled landscape of Singapore Zoo? This paper is based on ongoing archival and ethnographic research in Singapore, Canada, and the US.

About the Speaker

It attends to the nuances of life, its poignancy, its quiet emotional weight. The piece translates narrative into feeling, and feeling into visual language.

Ultimately, Ruotong and Yanni seek a space for emotional autonomy and feeling, for themselves, and for the viewer.

A sequence of fragmented spaces reveals disjointed views — bodies without faces, views that are never simply given but must be physically negotiated — exposing the compromises of dense living, where seeing and being seen are never fully in your control. Wrapped in a reflective skin, the structure blurs inside and outside, and the line between watching and being watched begins to dissolve.

The Housing Innovation Lab (HiLab) explores the intersections of environmental, societal, and well-being concerns linked to housing and investigates synergies between building performance and quality of life across scales.

The Housing Innovation Lab is directed by Lecturer and Housing Innovation Research Fellow Katharina Kral.

This project is supported by the Cornell Council for the Arts and the Dean’s Professional Development Fund.

Yanni’s “pains” approach the body and society through a sensitive and critical lens. Her works examine the pain imposed on bodies, individuals, and collective spaces through research into the Three Gorges Dam, the Dashilar redevelopment, and the contemporary persistence of foot-binding-like pressures. These forms of pain emerge in different moments and through different structures: sometimes through the body, sometimes through the mind, and sometimes through the spaces we inhabit together.

The “growing” part by Ruotong is a story for all mothers and children. It traces the cycles within relationships, and the subtle process of breaking those cycles. It attends to the nuances of life, its poignancy, its quiet emotional weight. The piece translates narrative into feeling, and feeling into visual language.
