Celebrating Innovation and Design for Good: Angela (Anqi) Chen’s AI Healthcare Triumphs Among NYC's defining industries, artificial intelligence and design are beginning to blend so that designers that lead the process of centering a new product on user needs can adapt to new ,markets and improve tech-enabled designs to improve wellbeing and social good. At the center of this new hotspot of adapting technologies is Angela (Anqi) Chen, a Cornell University and Cornell Tech alumna. Throughout her time at Cornell Tech, she launched AI healthcare design products CalmSpace and Argo Data Marketplace. These products recently won the 2024 A’ Design Award (Italy), 2024 MUSE Design Awards, 2024 New York Product Design Awards and London Design Awards. Throughout her undergraduate education in the interdisciplinary study of design and technology, Chen noticed the fast pace development of AI and opportunities to adopt it as a tool in her design work. She applied to Cornell Tech to learn about the software and technical skills she needed to connect her to NYC's tech industry. During COVID, Chen noticed that anxiety relating to digital devices among young people was prevalent. Thus, she developed Calmspace in her first year at Cornell Tech to promote wellbeing and mental health through a range of self care and group activities. Users could participate in meditation and yoga, which redefined the way young people approached technology and their wellbeing. In partnership with the MITRE, Chen developed Argo Data Marketplace as a response to the pandemic-induced demand for secure access to sensitive health data. The project sought to enhance the security of data exchange between enterprises and institutions. These projects focus on responsibly addressing social needs that improve the health and well-being of society. Chen’s time in Cornell Tech’s Connective Media Program, a multidisciplinary program that fosters social and economic awareness, allowed her to take human-centered design courses on social perspective and AI/ML. Chen said that Cornell Tech exposed her to "doing things that were more experience-driven and providing a bridge between my studies and the industry that allowed me to work on real world challenges."

Cornell Engineering Partners With Alumnus AI Startup! Cornell Engineering’s Scientific Artificial Intelligence (SciAI) Center has partnered with Pasteur Labs & ISI, which was founded by Alexander Lavin '12. The partnership seeks to advance progress in human-AI collaboration for scientific discovery and industrial applications. The SciAI Center launched in 2023 to develop AI that can uncover fundamental scientific principles from large data sets using mathematics as a universal language. Pasteur Labs, which specializes in AI simulation, will establish new research projects that redefine the role of stimulation in science and industry, according to Christopher J. Earls, director of the SciAI Center and Professor of Engineering. Founded in 2021, Pasteur Labs aims to bridge the gap between "the valley of death", a space between early technologies built bottom-up from theory and the need for those technologies to deploy in complex, real-world settings. The SciAi Center will partner 50 faculty members, postdocs and affiliated doctoral students with 25 researchers at Pasteur Labs who specialize in multi-physics modeling, cooperative AI and machine learning. Both organizations hope to find synergies between Pasteur Labs’ segments in advanced and additive manufacturing for aerospace and energy applications and the SciAi Center's focus on materials, turbulence and autonomy. This could support diverse manufacturing contexts including semiconductors, molecular systems and beyond! After graduating with a degree in aerospace engineering at Cornell, Alexander Lavin has gone on to being named to the Forbes Science 30 Under 30 list and becoming an AI advisor for NASA. Lavin said the partnership is "a testament to the things Cornell does to encourage careers guided by the pursuit of knowledge.” Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eCg3MpdY #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #SciAICenter #MachineLearning #Partnership #SciAI #PasteurLabs #AIResearch #AIinScience #FutureTech #CornellEngineering #Aerospace #HighPerformanceComputing #Entrepreneurship #TechInnovation #CornellAlumni #Forbes30Under30 #NASA #AINASA

Cornell Food Venture Center receives $10M from Seneca Foods! Arthur Wolcott ’49 went to an auction in Dundee, New York as a Cornell University senior, looking for a good deal on a typewriter. Instead, he bought a bankrupt grape juice plant (which, not incidentally, included at least one typewriter). Thus began his collaboration with the food science faculty and experts at Cornell as he grew what would become Seneca Foods Corporation from a struggling company with $110,000 in revenue its first year in 1949 to the $1.5 billion publicly traded company it is today. To honor this 75-year relationship, the SENECA FOODS FOUNDATION is gifting $10 million to the Cornell Food Venture Center (CFVC) at AgriTech, which helps all types food producers bring their products to market. According to Benjamin Z. Houlton, Dean of Cornell University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the CFVC has launched over 40,000 food products since 1997, supporting entrepreneurs with resources, expertise, and innovation. This gift, the largest in AgriTech’s history, will enhance the food economy, offering processing and production innovation, regulatory guidance, and product safety evaluation. Half of the gift will endow the CFVC and name its pilot plant, while the other half will fund a named professorship and directorship. Christine Smart, the Goichman Family Director of Cornell AgriTech and associate dean in CALS states that this structure ensures continued leadership and the ability to "better test the market and predict food trends by trying different things and running sensory panels.” Paul Palmby, President and CEO of Seneca Foods, highlighted that “In the early days, Art worked with Cornell in establishing some of the processing techniques he used in his businesses and that were instrumental to our early success." Michael Wolcott, Seneca’s CFO, anticipates the pilot plant will spark new business opportunities and innovation, much "like it did for Seneca Foods 75 years ago."

Inside Rev: Ithaca's Summer 2024 Accelerator Cohort! For the past 10 weeks, Rev's #Prototyping #Hardware #Accelerator led product teams in all stages of growth – from back-of-the-napkin ideas to fully-fledged startups. Teams have gained access to industry experts to collaborate on commercial and economic feasibility. From climate technology to agricultural innovations and even tea dispensers, this year's 22 teams are the most diverse yet, according to Ken Rother Director of Rev: Ithaca Startup Works . Equipad, led by Berkley students Bryan Wong, Pooja Patel, and Sanjana Gurram, developed a sustainably designed disposable menstrual pad alternative. Another team, AnalytiTech, LLC, co-founded by Chris Cilip, Antony Kariuki‘25, and Aleksandr Logunov ‘25, created a deep learning camera system for real-time inferencing applications. “For Christmas, I was spending time trying to find Cantonese-speaking toys for the children in my family,” said Annie Hua, founder of Babel Blocks, an interactive stuffed animal toy that allow parents to customize language settings. Each startup in the accelerator has been paired with an experienced entrepreneur and has access to a team of hardware engineers to assist with developing physical products. Deanna Kocher, associate director of Rev’s hardware programs and a visiting lecturer at Cornell Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, states that the cohort has adpoted a "rising tide lifts all boats" strategy by balancing strengths and lending input and support where needed. Some teams seek to solve a single problem with huge implications. For High Tunnel Titans, led by Joanna Tan, a rising junior in mechanical engineering at Cornell University, a regional farming problem could reshape how crops are grown under unfavorable conditions. On August 1st, each team will have the opportunity to demonstrate its progress ad pitch its product to community members, potential investors and partners.
