Three Syracuse University faculty members—Atanu Acharya, Zhenyu Gan and Angela Oliverio—have been named to the Milton J. Rubenstein Museum of Science & Technology’s (MOST) STEM Under 40 list, presented by Micron Technology. The annual list recognizes early-career professionals whose work is advancing STEM in the region.
The recognition comes as Central New York is poised to become a major hub for semiconductor manufacturing with Micron’s planned multibillion-dollar investment in the region, including a $100 billion manufacturing campus in suburban Syracuse.
“These three faculty members represent exactly the kind of talent that makes Syracuse a magnet for world-class researchers,” says Vice President for Research Duncan Brown. “While their work spans computational chemistry, robotics and microbial ecology, each is training the scientists and engineers our region will need as Central New York’s technology economy grows.”
