In addition, GSOE faculty participate in the administration and research activities of two research centers housed in the Science Division, the Institute for Ultrafast Spectroscopy and Lasers and the Center for the Analysis of Structures and Interfaces. What follows is a brief synopsis of these centers and institutes.

University Transportation Research Center (UTRC)

Benjamin Levich Institute for Physicochemical Hydrodynamics

New York Center for Biomedical Engineering (NYCBE)

The Environmental Science and Engineering Institute (ESEI)

Center for Water Resources and Environmental Research (CWRER)

CUNY Institute for Transportation Systems (ITS)

Center for Information Networking and Telecommunications (CINT)

Center for Metamaterials (CfM)

CUNY Center for Advanced Technology

CUNY Energy Institute

CUNY Institute for Urban Systems (CIUS)

Institute for Ultrafast Spectroscopy and Lasers (IUSL)

Center for Analysis of Structures and Interfaces (CASI)

Center for Algorithms & Interactive Scientific Software (CAISS)

NOAA Cooperative Remote Sensing and Technology Center (CREST)


There are many strong multi-faculty research areas within the GSOE that are not yet separately organized.
These include Earthquake Engineering in Civil Engineering, and Image Processing in Biomedical Engineering, Computer Sciences, and Electrical Engineering.

The CCNY Office of Research Administration encourages, develops budgets for and administers most regulatory aspects of research grants and contracts. It provides a local interface to the Research Foundation of CUNY, the fiscal custodian of all CUNY research grants.
