BINGHAMTON, NY (04/01/2014)(readMedia)-- Each year, Binghamton University recognizes research excellence by graduate students with a set of awards designed to recognize the wide variety of approaches to the advancement of knowledge on the Binghamton campus and the important role played by graduate students in research at the University.

Vadim Bromberg from Binghamton, NY has recently received a Graduate Student Excellence in Research award from Binghamton University, State University of New York:

Called a truly extraordinary experimentalist by his nominator, Vadim Bromberg plans and executes very complex experiments in the fields of fluid dynamics and materials science, and then processes and interprets the data at a level that is world-class. A complete researcher, he possesses a mature and fundamental knowledge of fluid dynamics and transport science, as well as strong knowledge of chemistry and materials science. He has five peer-reviewed publications, with four more in review or in preparation. Among his projects, he conceptualized and developed a fast, material-efficient and fully scalable "drop-on-demand" inkjet printing process that allows precise deposition of small droplets of functional ink in a variety of patterns on a given substrate surface. This process has exceptional advanced imaging and data acquisition capabilities, with 90 percent improvement over current state-of-the-art inkjet printing capability, and has resulted in one patent filing. His work holds significant potential in the emerging additive manufacturing field.

Binghamton University is one of the four university centers of the State University of New York. Known for the excellence of its students, faculty, staff and programs, Binghamton enrolls close to 15,000 students in programs leading to bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees. Its curriculum, founded in the liberal arts, has expanded to include selected professional and graduate programs.
