How can cities focus on their specific strengths to spur economic progress? And which investments are most likely to pay off at a time when people are looking to their cities for change they aren’t seeing elsewhere?

How can interested cities replicate success? Moderator: Katie Appel Duda, Bloomberg Philanthropies Confirmed Speakers: Philip Colligan, Executive Director, Nesta Innovation Lab, Nesta Paras Desai, Director, Chicago Innovation Delivery Team Chris Osgood, Co-Founder, Co-Chair, Office of New Urban Mechanics, City of Boston City 2.0: Creating the Next Tech Cities Room: Studio 6 What magical mix of incentives can be used by cities to lure high-tech businesses and drive innovation?

What’s changed since then in the fight against smoking? Moderator: Corby Kummer, Senior Editor, The Atlantic Confirmed Speakers: Dr. Thomas Farley, New York City Health Commissioner Paula Johns, Executive Director & Co-Founder, Alliance for the Control of Tobacco Use Matthew Myers, President, Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids Urban Expansion Room: West A Urban growth has eclipsed suburban growth for the first time, and with that comes the need for close attention to be paid to changing demographics, space and land use, and resource allocation. The smart and strategic use of resources is paramount for city leaders in order to appropriately plan for the future, not just solve problems today. Moderator: Richard Dobbs, Director, McKinsey Global Institute Confirmed Speakers: Amanda Burden, Director, New York City Department of City Planning Paul Romer, Director, The Urbanization Project; Professor, New York University Fran Tonkiss, Director, Cities Program, London School of Economics 11:35 AM- 11:50 AM Break Breakout #2: 11:50 AM-12:40 PM CityStudio: What’s New in Evidence-Based Government?

Moderator: Rob Puentes, Senior Fellow, Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program Confirmed speakers: Sir Edward Lister, Chief of Staff and Deputy Mayor for Planning, City of London Swati Ramanathan, Co-Founder, Janaahraha Jonathan Woetzel, Director, Infrastructure Practice, McKinsey & Company Thinking Small: Tiny Design Solutions for the Big City Room: Studio 5 As city populations balloon, urban spaces become more congested, polluted, and expensive. Increasingly, innovative designers are taking a downsized approach to cars, housing, and even agriculture in their quests for a sustainable, affordable future. From micro-apartments to rooftop farms, these forward thinking urbanists are looking to get the most efficient use out of every city block, open space, and parking spot, proving that sometimes the ‘next big thing’ is actually, well, tiny.

  • Employee Wellbeing at Cornell Re
    Your guide to resources that support all the dimensions of your wellbeing. HR.CORNELL.EDU/WELLBEING 1 2 1.6.20 Dear Colleague, During your time with Cornell, we want you to be well and THRIVE. Cornell invests in benefits, programs, and services to support employee wellbeing. This guide features a wide range of university (and many community!) resources available to support you in various dimensions of your wellbeing. As you browse this guide, which is organized around Cornell’s Seven Dimensions of Wellbeing model pictured below, you’ll find many resources cross-referenced in multiple dimensions. This illustrates the multifaceted nature of wellbeing. It is often non-linear in nature, and our most important elements shift as our work and Mary Opperman personal lives evolve. CHRO and Vice President Division of Human Resources We experience wellbeing both personally and as members of our various communities, including our work community. We each have opportunities to positively contribute to Cornell’s culture of wellbeing as we celebrate our colleagues’ life events, support one another during difficult times, share resources, and find creative approaches to how, where, and when work gets done. Behind this page is a “quick start directory” of Cornell wellbeing-related contacts. Please save this page and reach out any time you need assistance! Although some of these resources are specific to Cornell’s Ithaca campus, we recognize and are continuing to focus on expanding offerings to our employees in all locations. Thank you for all of your contributions

Among other topics, Webb advised that he was the last survivor of the three “Bronxville Boys” who came to Cornell in 1950 from that village in Westchester County. They roomed together as freshmen, joined Delta Upsilon together and remained close friends through graduation and beyond. They even sat side by side in the 54 Cornellian’s group photo of their fraternity. Boyce Thompson, who died in 2009, worked for Pet Milk in St. Louis for a few years after graduation and later moved to Dallas where he formed and ran a successful food brokerage specializing in gourmet mixed nuts. Ever the comedian, his business phone number (after the area code) was 223-6887, which made the letters BAD-NUTS. Thankfully, his customers did not figure it out.

  • How to Calibrate Your Adversary's Capabilities? Inverse Filtering for Counter-Autonomous Systems
    1 How to Calibrate your Adversary’s Capabilities? Inverse Filtering for Counter-Autonomous Systems Vikram Krishnamurthy, Fellow IEEE and Muralidhar Rangaswamy, Fellow IEEE Manuscript dated July 9, 2019 Abstract—We consider an adversarial Bayesian signal process- wish to estimate the adversary’s sensor’s capabilities and ing problem involving “us” and an “adversary”. The adversary predict its future actions (and therefore guard against these observes our state in noise; updates its posterior distribution of actions). the state and then chooses an action based on this posterior. Given knowledge of “our” state and sequence of adversary’s actions observed in noise, we consider three problems: (i) How can the A. Problem Formulation adversary’s posterior distribution be estimated? Estimating the posterior is an inverse filtering problem involving a random The problem formulation involves two players; we refer to measure - we formulate and solve several versions of this the two players as “us” and “adversary”. With k = 1; 2;::: problem in a Bayesian setting. (ii) How can the adversary’s observation likelihood be estimated? This tells us how accurate denoting discrete time, the model has the following dynamics: the adversary’s sensors are. We compute the maximum likelihood x ∼ P = p(xjx ); x ∼ π estimator for the adversary’s observation likelihood given our k xk−1;x k−1 0 0 measurements of the adversary’s actions where the adversary’s yk ∼ Bx ;y = p(yjxk) k (1) actions are in response to estimating our state. (iii) How can π = T (π ; y ) the state be chosen by us to minimize the covariance of the k k−1 k estimate of the adversary’s observation likelihood? “Our” state ak ∼ Gπk;a = p(ajπk) can be viewed as a probe signal which causes the adversary to act; so choosing the optimal state sequence is an input Let us explain the notation in (1): p(·) denotes a generic design problem.

  • Cornell Tech COVID-19 Reopening Safety Plan July 2020
    Cornell Tech COVID-19 Reopening Safety Plan July 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, on March 13, 2020, Cornell Tech swiftly shifted its operations to a remote / virtual environment. In accordance with public health officials’ guidance and recommendations, all academic instruction was migrated to online platforms, staff remote work contingencies were implemented, and all non-essential operations were suspended. Strict guidelines were enacted to safely support the necessary personnel remaining on campus to sustain essential campus functions. As the New York State (NYS) COVID-19 infection rate continues to decline, the NYS Governor’s Office has published a guide for reopening businesses and economic activity. The State has identified seven (7) benchmarks necessary for reopening by region and established four (4) phases of reopening. The full report can be viewed at: https://www.governor.ny.gov/sites/governor.ny.gov/files/atoms/files/NYForwardReopeningGuide.pdf Currently, education is part of the businesses or sectors eligible for reopening during phase IV. However, higher education research and higher education administration have been included in phases I & II, respectively. On June 8th, the New York City (NYC) region met the aforementioned benchmarks and entered phase I, on June 22nd it entered phase II, and on July 20th it entered phase IV. Cornell Tech is preparing this plan to enable the eventual safe return of faculty, staff, students, and visitors to the campus. To the extent possible, given its geographic and infection rate disparities, Cornell Tech will coordinate its reopening strategy with Cornell University to ensure compliance with overall university policies.
