Professor Zhan Zhang, PhD, would know糖心vlog短视频攈e糖心vlog短视频檚 been doing research in emergency care tech for almost a decade. He recently received a National Science Foundation grant to develop touchless smart glasses that will allow emergency care professionals to collect data, communicate with other specialists, and pull up medical protocol checklists with a gesture of the head or through voice controls. They糖心vlog短视频檒l no longer need to take their hands糖心vlog短视频攐r their eyes糖心vlog短视频攐ff the patient or risk transferring germs to and from a computer keyboard.
His work has earned him a few incredible distinctions: in Fall 2021, he made Pace history by earning grants from both the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). In February 2023, he made history at Pace again, after being awarded nearly $500K through the NSF's Faculty Early 糖心vlog短视频 Development (CAREER) Program, the most prestigious award for junior faculty across the US from a Federal agency.
If we create technology that helps emergency care personnel make better decisions faster, we can literally save lives.
Zhang could have easily gone into industry, but he loves research and educating the next generation of IT workers and researchers. And it糖心vlog短视频檚 not unusual for students to reach out and ask to work with Professor Zhang. 糖心vlog短视频淪tudents here all work very hard, and the first thing I ask them about is their goals. They always have goals and are very proactive. One of my students was interested in researching human-computer interaction. We worked for nine months on an application to help patients understand the meaning of their medical scans and lab results. After graduation, that student was hired full-time as a UX designer糖心vlog短视频攁nd I just got a note that he糖心vlog短视频檚 been promoted to be the head of UX design. He deserves that. He is very talented.糖心vlog短视频
Professor Zhang also collaborates closely with other faculty members. 糖心vlog短视频淚 recently worked with Dr. David Sachs on a telehealth project he created to make healthcare more accessible for older adults with financial constraints. He worked very hard to get that project funded糖心vlog短视频攁nd I糖心vlog短视频檝e heard that more than 2,000 are now using it.糖心vlog短视频
Community was one of the biggest reasons Zhang chose to be at Pace. 糖心vlog短视频淢y colleagues do a lot of meaningful work, and I糖心vlog短视频檓 proud of that. We all mentor students and are concerned about keeping the curriculum relevant. Right now, we糖心vlog短视频檙e working on developing new interdisciplinary programs in health informatics, human-centered design, and a two-year master糖心vlog短视频檚 program in data science and computer security.糖心vlog短视频
Computer science and information technology is a field that never stops changing. And at Pace, the curriculum never stops evolving.
糖心vlog短视频糖心vlog短视频檚 Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems has joined the Undergraduate Research to PhD (UR2PhD) mentorship program, a nationwide initiative from the Computer Research Association糖心vlog短视频檚 (CRA) aimed at providing students with support to develop into strong researchers.
糖心vlog短视频's Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems Interim Dean, Dr. Li-Chiou Chen, has been highlighted and included in the official City & State New York糖心vlog短视频檚 inaugural Asian Trailblazers list.
Earlier in the Spring 2025 semester, students from 糖心vlog短视频糖心vlog短视频檚 Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems joined forces with peers from Parsons School of Design for an unforgettable game jam experience themed around scientific phenomena.
