William D. Eaton, PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Biology (NYC, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences) who studies how tropical soil bacterial and fungal communities influence soil carbon and nitrogen cycle dynamics in intact and damaged tropical forests. Professor Eaton recently completed a 6 month Sabbatical that resulted in 6 scientific journal publications on his work in Costa Rica, 2 of which have Pace undergraduate students as co-authors. The 6 journals have an average Impact Factor of 4.2, and an average h-Index rating of 78.8. Professor Eaton’s recent publications include titles of these articles are “Natural regeneration or tree planting in a tropical forest-to-pasture damaged area: which is more efficacious for soil ecosystem recovery?” Restoration Ecology 32. 4 (2004);  “Use of high throughput DNA analysis to characterize the nodule-associated bacterial community from four ages of Inga punctata trees in a Costa Rican cloud forest” AIMS Microbiology 10.3 (2004); “Hurricane Otto’s influence on a tropical forests soil carbon, nitrogen, decomposition, and decomposer microbial communities over 5 years,”Ecology Letters 7. 3 (2025); “Use of a logging road in a Costa Rican forest changes the composition and stability of soil microbial decomposer communities, and the conversion of organic carbon into biomass” Journal of Applied Microbiology 136. 4 (2025); “Increasing Ages of Inga punctata tree soils facilitate greater fungal community abundance and successional development, and efficiency of microbial organic carbon utilization” Microorganisms 10 (2025); and “Initial Analysis of Plant Soil for Evidence of Pathogens Associated With A Disease of Seedling Ocotea monteverdensis” 13. 1682 (2025).



Professor Eaton has received about $6,000,000 in funds from government agencies to conduct research in the US, Canada, Belize and Costa Rica, resulting in 71 journal article publications, of which 32 have undergraduate student co-authors. He has further supported undergraduate research by serving as the PI of three different National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates grants over 12 years and taking undergraduates to Belize and Costa Rica for research experiences since 1996. His current projects include studying the effects that Hurricane Otto had on the soil bacterial and fungal communities and the associated carbon and nitrogen cycle dynamics in a Costa Rican forest, as well as the patterns of soil ecosystem recovery since the hurricane hit in 2016; the beneficial effects that various re-forestation strategies are having on the soil ecosystems in a Costa Rican Cloud Forests; and characterizing the soil ecosystems associated with 5 different endangered tree species in the same forests.

This past spring saw the publication of the novel VHS (CLASH Books, 2025) and the creative nonfiction north by north/west (West Virginia University Press, 2025), both of which continue Chris Campanioni’s autoarchival examinations of diaspora, exile, and displacement through attention to practices of mediation. Drift Net (Lever Press, 2025), a monograph on migrant subjectivity and works of art born in translation, was published in June.

north by north/west is a hybrid work of creative nonfiction assembled as several iterative sequences—a discontinuous itinerary—of exile. As the narrator begins work on a rough translation of the 1959 film North by Northwest, focal points surface through textual correspondences with distant coordinates, shifting between close readings of Whitney Houston’s early music videos, current events reportage, illness journals, eighties spy movies, the most recent solar eclipse, Alfred Hitchcock’s unproduced films, Cold War “stay-behind operations,” an ill-fated party at the Festival de Cannes, and family accounts of migration. These meticulously arranged narrative threads attempt to discompose the epistemology of the West/Global North in order to conceptualize a genre of work by the children of exiles who have been called “the post-dictatorship generation.” 

Christine Hume calls north by north/west “a tour-de-force of creative critical praxis, a work that establishes a new genre for exiles and immigrants, a machine for generating ideas and encouraging speculation. north by north/west is constantly positing what it might be and do by questioning labels, genres, and sources in ways that open up current academic discourse. There is nothing else that I know of quite like this.”

VHS tells a story about the silences of generational trauma and the tenuous conditions in which stories get passed down in migration, a surface flimsy enough to allow the traffic between novel, notebook, reportage, and myth. While collecting the scattered stories of his parents’ entangled passages to the United States, the narrator begins to record the material onto videocassettes through a series of cutting and grafting, splicing footage of his present dislocation and overlaying on the audio track the polyphonic voices of his inherited exiles.

Ernesto Mestre-Reed calls VHS “a dazzling novel that takes the now-staid modes of much autofiction and turns them inside out: incantatory, wholly original and alive. A bravura performance with a voyeuristic glee.”

Chris Campanioni’s, PhD (English, NYC, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences) research connecting migration and media studies has been awarded the Calder Prize and a Mellon Foundation fellowship, and his writing has received the Pushcart Prize, International Latino Book Award, and Academy of American Poets College Prize. His essays, poetry, and fiction have been translated into Spanish and Portuguese, and have found a home in several venues, including Best American Essays.

Julian Costa, MS (Information Technology, NYC, Seidenberg School of CSIS) published Coach of the Building (Parisian Phoenix Publishing, June 2025). The book tells the story of an educator's journey from assistant football coach to high school principal. Upon achieving his goal of becoming an educator, Richard Carty is entrusted with the task of opening a new high school. As he navigates hiring faculty, furnishing the building, and overseeing the curriculum during a time of technological growth and cultural diversification, Carty empowers students to take part in decision-making, giving them the chance to create their own school culture. In addition to chronicling Carty's career, the book explores the early history of a rural Pennsylvania high school, which will celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary on August 28, 2025. It includes rare and previously unpublished artifacts from Carty's tenure as principal, along with extensive interviews with faculty and alumni.

Prof. Costa came to Pace University in September 2017. He has taught graduate and undergraduate courses in the Seidenberg School of CSIS, as well as both theoretical and performance-based courses in the Department of Communication and Media Studies, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences. His other published works include David Campbell: Story of a Career (Masthof Press, 2018); A Dream's Destination (Masthof Press, 2020); and The Audiovisual Teacher (Parisian Phoenix Publishing, 2024).

This year's STI & HIV World Congress took place in Montreal, Quebec, Canada from July 26^th through the 30th. Erica Gollub, DrPH, MPH (Health Sciences, Pleasantville, College of Health Professions) and Marie Charles EdD, RN-BC, FNYAM (BS Nurse Education, NYC, College of Health Professions) presented the preliminary findings from their Uganda qualitative study eliciting providers' attitude on recommending the Dapivirine PrEP ring to young mothers and adolescent girls in their communities. This study was the result of a collaboration between CHP and the Babies and Mothers Alive (BAMA), a Uganda-based non-profit organization. This research was funded by three internal grants: The Scholarly Research Grant, the Gralnick Grant, and the Jeffrey Hewitt. Sophie Kaufman, DPS, MBA  (Assistant Dean for Grants and Strategic Initiatives, College of Health Professions) was instrumental in having Professor Gollub and Professor Charles on this project. The conference was a global experience where world-renowned researchers on infectious diseases shared their insights.

Elijah Salzer, DMSc, PA-C, NYSAFE, C-EFM, CAQ-OBGYN (Physician Assistant Studies, NYC, College of Health Professions) published "The efficacy of zuranolone versus placebo in postpartum depression and major depressive disorder: a systematic review and meta-analysis" in the International Journal of Clinical Pharmacy 46 (2024). The article is a systematic review and meta-analysis of the new antidepressant, zuranolone, the first drug developed for postpartum depression, a condition affecting up to 20% of patients following delivery. It can also be used for major depressive disorder. The evidence demonstrates improvement of postpartum depression as early as 15 days, though there was not clinically significant improvement in major depressive disorder.

Cihan J. Gunduz, PhD (Chemistry & Physical Sciences, Pleasantville, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences), published “Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel benzocoumarin derivatives as potent inhibitors of MAO-B activity” in Bioogranic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 113. 15 (November 2004). The continued research of novel reversible inhibitors targeting monoamine oxidase (MAO) B remains crucial for effectively symptomatic treatment of Parkinson’s disease. In this study we synthesized and evaluated a new series of 3-aryl benzo[g] and benzo[h] coumarin derivatives as MAO-B inhibitors. Compound A6 has been found to display the most potent inhibitory activity and selectivity against the MAO-B isoform (IC50 = 13 nM and SI =>7693.31 respectively). Inhibition mode of A6 on MAO-B was predicted as mixed reversible inhibition with a Ki value of 3.274 nM. Furthermore, in order to elaborate structure–activity relationships, the binding mode of A6 was investigated by molecular docking simulations.

The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University and Albany Law School cohosted a Feminist Legal Studies Roundtable at the Pace University campus in Lower Manhattan. Participants from Pace Haub Law included Professors Jessica Miles, JD, Margot Pollans, JD, and Emily Waldman, JD.

Beau Anderson, PhD, MA(Ed), LAc (Allied Health, NYC, Interim Co-Dean, College of Health Professions) is a co-author of a newly published “Secondary analyses of case report and clinical registry data: A study protocol” in the European Journal of Integrative Medicine 75 (April 2025). The protocol aims to advance research methods for Traditional East Asian Medicine (TEAM) by developing innovative approaches to analyze real-world clinical data on pain. The project will conduct secondary analyses of 12 rigorously documented case reports and 130 clinical registry records, using a mixed-methods design to integrate quantitative and qualitative insights on practitioner diagnosis, clinical reasoning, patient outcomes, and self-care behaviors. By standardizing data with international diagnostic codes and applying robust analytic techniques, the study seeks to improve the rigor, validity, and applicability of practice-based TEAM research, ultimately informing future clinical trials and enhancing patient-centered care.

Professor Anderson is also a co-author of a new national survey study, “A Survey of Acupuncture Chinese Herbal Medicine Students to Identify Barriers to Teaching and Motivations to Study Acupuncture Research” published in Medical Acupuncture 37.1 (Feb. 2025). The survey explores acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine (ACHM) students’ attitudes toward and experiences with research. Gathered responses from 445 students across 36 U.S. schools, the survey examined research skills, perceptions of evidence-based medicine, and motivations to engage in acupuncture research. Results revealed wide variation in student views, with many recognizing the value of research for enhancing patient care, strengthening the profession, and improving public and biomedical acceptance—though a substantial number expressed uncertainty or ambivalence. Prior research experience and the belief that acupuncture is more a science than an art were linked to more positive attitudes toward research education. The authors suggest strategies to strengthen ACHM research training, aiming to foster greater engagement and prepare future practitioners to integrate research into their clinical practice.

E. Melanie DuPuis, PhD (Professor Emerita, Environmental Studies and Science, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences) published “BIG U(nicorn)?: The Nature of Nature in Coastal Resilience Planning” in Environment and Planning E: Nature and Space (June 2025) as part of her series of on critical studies of sustainability transitions. The Big U, a design to protect the Lower Manhattan waterfront from sea level rise and storm surges, won millions in the Obama Administration’s Rebuild by Design competition in 2014, and many other awards from the architecture community. Yet, ten years later, the original green design for the project has largely disappeared, replaced by a more engineered “gray” design that was vigorously resisted by resident groups. Through document analysis, observing and speaking with public-facing guides during planning meetings and events related to the project, as well as interviews with experts and officials, Prof. DuPuis explores the ways “resilience thinking” employs imaginaries of nature in nature-based solutions. Drawing on work in urban political ecology, she examines the idea of “working with nature” as a tool and show how the BIG U plan relied on a kind of magical “unicorn” nature that denied the complex material reality of the Lower Manhattan waterfront. Through this case study, Prof. DuPuis explores how Western binary notions of nature-culture in green vs. gray solutions leads to magical thinking and unicorn projects that become subject to definitional boundary contests.

Miguel A. Mosteiro, PhD (Computer Sciences, NYC, Seidenberg School of CSIS) presented this Summer recent results in two conferences: “On the Complexity of Deterministic Wireless Distributed Link Scheduling” at The IEEE 45th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS’25) which was held in July in Glasgow, Scotland. Professor Mosteiro will also presented “Beeping Deterministic Congest Algorithms in Graphs” at The 33rd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA’25), to be held September in Warsaw, Poland.

Deterministic Link Scheduling (DLS) is a fundamental problem for communication in multi-hop wireless networks, thoroughly studied by the Distributed Computing community from a theoretical perspective. All efficiently scalable DLS algorithms so far relied heavily on substantial amount of true randomness, which is, however, intrinsically difficult to get in wireless devices. Recently, Prof. Mosteiro and international collaborators focused on "deterministic" DLS algorithms. They show that their time complexity can be nearly-quadratically worse than the best randomized algorithms known for networks of general topology, whereas for topologies of small metric growth deterministic algorithms nearly-match the randomized complexity. The study opens the path to multiple interesting research questions relating the metric growth of network topologies, and the algorithmic random entropy, to the complexity of communication in wireless networks.

Beeping Networks (BN) is a popular graph-based model of wireless computation, which applies the OR operation to one-bit messages sent simultaneously by neighbors. Fast randomized algorithms for BN are popular, but all known deterministic algorithms for non-trivial graph problems are at least polynomial in the maximum network node degree. In this work, we improve known results for deterministic algorithms by showing that this polynomial can be as low as quadratic. Moreover, we show how to simulate a single round of any algorithm for the popular Congest model in quadratic beeping rounds, even if the nodes intend to send different messages to different neighbors. We also present lower- and upper bounds for various problems in multi-hop networks, presenting a nearly optimal algorithm that is able to ``pipeline'' the node-to-node information in a faster way than beeping layer-by-layer.

Publication in CS conference proceedings is equivalent to journal. The publication of these results expands the exposure of Pace research to the international Distributed Computing community.

Laurice (Lauri) Nemetz, MA, BC-DMT, E-RYT500, LCAT, C-IAYT (Lienhard School of Nursing, Pleasantville College of Health Professions and Pforzheimer Honors College) taught at two major events this summer leading anatomy dissection for the Collaborative Care Collective (C3) Symposium with physicians and physical therapists, as well as teaching several workshops at the Berkshire yoga festival on yoga and anatomy. She is beginning a new anatomy book aimed at movement specialists. She is about to start year 3 of her PhD through Eastern Virginia Medical School/Old Dominion with a concentration in Contemporary Human Anatomy Education. Her research focuses on visual rhetoric (how images make meaning) and anatomy.

Charlene Blando-Hoegler, PhD (Biology, Pleasantville, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences) published “Enzyme activities and heart failure II: can isozyme activities in visceral organs of dogs provide clues to understanding pathophysiology?” in  Physiology, 40(S1), 1398. In a review Stanley et al (2005) suggested that differential protein expression in various tissues, during initial stages of heart failure (HF), might explain clinical manifestations. The present study investigated enzymes in four visceral organs of control (n=4) and heart failure (n=4) dogs. The presence and intensity of isozyme activities of three enzymes (MDH [malate dehydrogenase], LDH [lactate dehydrogenase], and AChE [acetylcholine esterase]) were compared among organs (kidney, lung, liver, and spleen). To conclude, it is suggested that the pathophysiological changes in end-stage HF may be due to two influences: direct effect of cardiac hypertrophy on the organs systems and the indirect consequences triggered by compensatory responses to this pathology.

James, P. Lawler, PhD (Information Technology, NYC, Seidenberg School of CSIS) published “Empathy through Film: Annual Disability Film Festival at Pace University Engages Non-Autistic Students” in Autism Spectrum News, 18.1 (Summer 2025). In this article, Prof. Lawler discusses the benefits of an annual community diversity program in the Seidenberg School. The approach of the program is on introducing people and students without disabilities to those with disabilities, highlighting the potential of those with disabilities to be better included in society. The focus of the Disability Film Festival is to inform students without disabilities about this frequently neglected population, through films that present people and students with disabilities living their lives like those without disabilities. Importantly, those portrayed in the films are those with disabilities, not those without disabilities pretending to have disabilities. For the festival in spring, the Seidenberg School partnered with the Sands College of Performing Arts, which contributed to high success.

Perl Egendorf, PhD (Environmental Studies, NYC, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences) (Environmental Studies and Science, NYC, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences) is the lead author of “Carbon and nitrogen cycling in an urban constructed technosol: The artist-led carbon sponge pilot study” in Geoderma 40: 460 (August 2025). The article addresses a field study and installation that occurred at the New York Hall of Science, located in Queens, in 2018. The study was initiated by an artist and the authors investigated the impacts of various plant communities on the form and function of newly constructed soils. The authors found that diverse plant communities enhanced microbial activities, and that the presence of sunflowers, in particular, increased soil carbon. This study demonstrates that these new soils can be used for urban agriculture and urban sustainability initiatives. In fact, the same types of newly constructed soils are currently in use at the Pace Land and Labor Acknowledgement Farm, located on the north side of 1 Pace Plaza!

Prof. Egendorf is also a co-author on a peer-reviewed publication entitled "Potential links between urban lead (Pb) in home soil/dust and the development of preeclampsia/eclampsia,” Next Research 2.3 (Sept. 2025). This integrative review investigates the connections between soil/dust lead exposure and pregnancy-related health outcomes that disproportionately fall on communities of color and low income populations. Covering contaminated soils with clean soil is a feasible remediation option that may help reduce the occurrence of adverse health impacts.

Sneha George, PhD (Gender Studies/American Studies, NYC, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences) published “Notes on Political Ontology and the Imposter” in Topia 49 (2025). Dominant discourses of imposter syndrome consider either the psychic or material registers of imposters; our intervention in this article identifies a third register on which the psychic and material depend: the ontological. Imposter syndrome, the authors argue, is defined by three positions: (1) the figure of the scholar—who is characterized by self-actualization, freedom and belonging, which relegates it to the positive ontological position; (2) the subject with imposter syndrome—who is characterized by an experience of deferred, and queer capacity and contested belonging; and (3) the imposter proper—who is characterized by negation, incapacity and unbelonging, relegating it to an ontological absence, or a spectre that is not seen but structures presence nonetheless. To make this argument, the authors draw a parallel with Sara-Maria Sorentino's analysis of incapacity in the oikos, which Sorentino argues is a spectral position, to the imposter in the university. The imposter proper is the position against which the second and third are produced. By locating the imposter proper as a separate position that is not only defined and determined by material or psychic constraints but also ontological violences, the authors develop the argument that when one cures imposter syndrome, the imposter still remains. Although the experience of being an imposter is not exclusive to the university, they take the North American university as our case study because the rhetoric of the imposter is so ubiquitous across academic institutions.

Devyn Savitsky, PhD (Psychology, Pleasantville, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences) published “Beyond the Game: Understanding Counselor Perceptions of Mental Health, Family Dynamics, and NIL Pressures Among Collegiate Student-Athletes" in The Family Journal (July 2025). Student-athletes occupy unique roles as leaders on college campuses and face various stressors, such as securing name, image, and likeness (NIL) endorsements through the utilization of social media. Additionally, student-athletes are challenged with adjusting from the parent–child relationship dynamic to a coach–athlete relationship, mirroring familial structures and relational patterns. This new relational dynamic can serve as a protective factor against engagement in risk-taking behaviors. However, relatively little research exists examining how the pursuit of NIL endorsements and the quality of coach–athlete relationships collectively influence student-athletes’ overall mental health and familial interactions. The primary aim of this qualitative study was to identify risk factors impacting student-athletes’ mental health and well-being, examine the effects of securing NIL endorsements through social media, and explore the mirrored relationships between coach–athlete and parent–child dynamics. Findings reveal the significance of family relational patterns and identify specific mental health interventions and approaches to address these challenges. These findings have important implications for future research, marriage and family counselors, and mental health professionals working with this specialized population and their families.

Charles Ogundimu, PhD (Mathematics, Pleasantville, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences) published a book review on The Buying and Selling of American Education: Reimagining a System of Schools for All Children, authored by Susan Tave Zelman and Margaret Erlandson Sorensen. The review was published in the February 2025 edition of the Teachers College Record (TCR). In the review, Professor Ogundimu provides readers with an intriguing analysis, based on the book, of the current state of education in the United States with a robust historical perspective and thoughtful proposals for future improvements. He explains how the authors methodically devote each chapter in the book to a comprehensive examination of the origins of a key educational issue and the prevailing state of affairs on the issue, including but not limited to recurring challenges. Readers are given an acute analytical summary of not just what currently obtains in the teaching and learning ecosystems in the U.S., but also a sense of why some of our schooling conundrums persist.

This funding opportunity provided support for researchers who need pilot data collection or dedicated time to develop a grant proposal. The funding aims to facilitate the submission of proposals to agencies such as NIH, NSF, NEH, private foundations, or any other funding source within a year.
