NYU Urban Food Lab is an aquaponic vertical farming class in which a multidisciplinary teamof students learn about sustainability and farming by running their own mini-projects connectingtheir fields to the farm. Mini projects range from making cosmetics out of fresh farm grownflowers and model simulation of harvesting scattered light with mirrors to a survey of thedifferent farms within the city.

Researching Non-Photochemical Light Induced Nucleation (NPLIN) using continuous and pulsed lasers with Dr. Bruce Garetz. We are using NPLIN to induce nucleation in a Laser Induced Phase Separated droplet formed by exposing a supersaturated solution to a tightly focused continuous-wave laser beam, which is believed to concentrate solute clusters through optical gradient forces without inducing nucleation.

Researching Non-Photochemical Light Induced Nucleation (NPLIN) using continuous and pulsed lasers with Dr. Bruce Garetz and Dr. Janice Aber. The idea is to test the hypothesis that the irradiation of a dense liquid droplet, produced with a continuous wave near infrared (NIR) laser, by an intense pulse NIR laser will produce a crystal without the need of moving the focus of the laser/dense liquid droplet to the air-solution interface.
