1. SBMS Alum Raza Hassan PhD ’20 Helps Design a TIME Best Invention With AI-Driven Shoe.
Imagine having a shoe that is meant for only you. No more discomfort. No more figuring out your size. Stony Brook University alumnus Chaudhry Raza Hassan PhD ’20 has helped design an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven, precision-fit shoe, the IAMBIC MODEL T, that was recognized by TIME as a best invention.
Hassan and Maeve Wang co-founded IAMBIC in 2020. In 2023, TIME chose 200 inventions based on their originality, ambition and transformative impact. The MODEL T was featured in the design category and “shines a spotlight on IAMBIC’s passionate dedication to advancing size-inclusivity in footwear,” said Wang.
According to Hassan, who is the chief technology officer for IAMBIC, Stony Brook University’s Center for Biotechnology played a huge role in preparing him for a career beyond academia. Hassan sat down with us to talk about his time at Stony Brook and explain what exactly the MODEL T is and why it’s so unique.

18. Dear all,
It is my pleasure to announce the request of applications for the third year of the SBU Scholars in BioMedical Sciences program. PhD graduate students earlyin their training career (after their qualifying exams, in the second or third year of their studies) will be selected to engage in clinical experiences and work on a small, clinically-relevant research project. Each student and theirPhD advisor will be teamed up with a clinical mentor to design the project and set out the other experiences that the student will undertake in the School of Medicine. (For example, going on rounds, attending clinical seminars, and interacting with patients.) The mandatory component of the training will take place over the course of a year, but the interactions will hopefully continue to take place throughout the students' graduate studies. Five such student/teams will be selected.The URL for the program is: http://medicine.stonybrookmedicine.edu/sbms/homepage. The application process is described on the website along with a list of potential clinical mentors and their departmental affiliations and research interests. (Although if more physicians would like to be included, please let us know.) Applications are due by 5 pm on June 12. Please distribute to the faculty in your department/graduate programs.Please feel free to contact me, Dr. Vince Yang, or Odalis Hernandez if you have any questions. Or please let students, who are interested in the program, talk to our current group of student trainees, as they are listed on the website.
Sincerely,
Stella Tsirka
