A few years after earning his master’s degree from Cornell, Nirav Patel M.Eng. ’12 realized there was a need and, like all good systems engineers, sought to fulfill that need. “I started a venture of my own approximately three years ago. We design and manufacture equipment that is used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetic production,” said Patel, director of engineering and operations for Accunova Engineering Pvt. Ltd. “I manage overall company operations such as sales, manufacturing, design, purchasing, installations and commissioning.” Accunova manufactures machinery for packaging, labeling and... Read more
Activities beyond campus – such as business air travel, student commutes and purchases like lab equipment – account for more than 60% of Cornell’s carbon emissions, according to a new analysis. Read more
Linda Nozick has been reappointed as Director of the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering for a three-year term beginning July 1, 2022. She has served as Director of CEE since 2015, and she was previously the Director of Cornell’s Systems Engineering program, which she co-founded in 1999. Linda's expertise is in the development of mathematical models for managing complex systems and with a particular interest in systems that can be represented mathematically as networks, including transportation and logistics systems, civil infrastructure networks and project networks. Her research... Read more
