In this issue of our digital CSUN Magazine, we meet the constellation of CSUN researchers working to answer one of humanity’s most profound questions: Is there life beyond Earth? Our faculty and student researchers are developing tools to help us look deeper into space, training new rovers and designing helicopters to search other worlds. They’re building systems for astronauts to survive when they boldly go deeper into our solar system.
This issue also features a look at the work of engineering students and faculty who are advancing technology aimed at making prosthetic and wearable robotic arms more intuitive and useful for the people who depend on them. And finally, we highlight some of the intriguing and inspiring sculptures around campus that beckon students, alumni, visitors and patrons alike. Learn more about these public artworks — plus an exclusive video interview with alumnus and sculptor John Banks, on how he created the iconic “CSUN Sculpture” and more about his career.
