Seidenberg Professor Zhan Zhang recently made Pace history by earning grants from both the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). In his ongoing NSF project, Zhan focused on enabling hands-free data collection and documentation in the field by emergency medical services (EMS) providers with an easy-to-use smart glass application.
Dr. Zhan Zhang, a member of faculty at the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems at Pace University, recently made Pace history by earning grants from both the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF).
In his ongoing NSF project, Zhan focused on enabling hands-free data collection and documentation in the field by emergency medical services (EMS) providers with an easy-to-use smart glass application.
The new NIH project investigates care coordination and communication between distributed medical teams – the EMS team in the field and emergency department (ED) teams at the receiving hospital. “The research team will explore how to leverage smart glasses and advanced system interaction mechanisms (e.g., augmented reality and hands gesture recognition) to better facilitate remote patient care guidance,” Zhan said. The scale of the new project is much larger. There are two study sites–New York and Colorado–and both EMS and ED professionals will be involved.
The study will involve the implementation of specially designed glasses that enable EMS professionals to communicate with ED physicians instantaneously. The glasses, infused with internet of things (IoT) technology, use hand gestures and voice control to transmit information efficiently.
“My long-term goal is to digitize emergency care with novel technologies to improve patient outcome."
“There are two aims of this study,” said Zhan. “In the first year, we will conduct iterative system design and evaluation with both paramedics and ED physicians, using participatory design, rapid prototyping, and usability testing. Then we are going to test the effectiveness of our system using simulated medical events. Paramedics and ED physicians will be invited to use our system to perform patient care.”
Zhan, who joined Seidenberg’s Information Technology department in 2017, specializes in healthcare technology–particularly how computers and technology can be used in helping healthcare professionals communicate and collaborate more efficiently. “My long-term goal is to digitize emergency care with novel technologies to improve patient outcome,” he said.
“This grant is extremely important to me because I have done a lot of preliminary work in this particular problem space since my PhD, and finally, with its support, I am able to use the knowledge I gained over the past few years to build a large-scale novel system that has a great potential to transform current old-fashioned method of pre-hospital communication and care coordination.”
Jonathan Hill, the Dean of the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems at Pace University, gave his support to the project. He said: “Dr. Zhang is an extremely talented and hard-working individual. He is passionate and popular with students, and a very busy person. When he’s not winning grants for truly exciting healthcare IT research, he’s heading up the new master’s in Human-Centered Design. I am excited to see how his career continues to unfold and trust that he will do great things for the healthcare industry and beyond.”
Furthering the achievement, Zhan is the first Seidenberg faculty member to receive an award from NIH, a nod to the increasing volume of interdisciplinary research taking place at Pace’s technology school.

On Tuesday, October 19, 2021, the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems at Pace University hosted an alumni panel dedicated to the topic of the month, cybersecurity. The panel comprised of four alumni who came together over Zoom to share their wisdom and expertise with current students.
On Tuesday, October 19, 2021, the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems at Pace University hosted an alumni panel dedicated to the topic of the month, cybersecurity.
Facilitated by faculty members Li-Chiou Chen and Darren Hayes, the panel comprised of four alumni who came together over Zoom to share their wisdom and expertise with current students.
Alumni panelists included:
Over the course of the hour long conversation, panelists discussed their current positions, how they got there, and what about their experience at Seidenberg helped prepare them for a career in cybersecurity.
The panel was recorded and will be released soon (we’ll update this post when it is). In the meantime, here are some quick answers to pressing questions Seidenberg faculty posed:
What’s the most significant cyber security problem right now in industry or in government?
Jasmine: Supply chain risk – being aware of what third parties you’re connected to and how they are secured... another trend is ransomware attacks. We see that really relevant relevant now that we’re doing telework and we’re working from home and we’re doing this education at home
Daniel: Phishing emails, because I know that is still prevalent today. I know a lot of you probably think, Oh, maybe it was done, five years ago, but no today it’s still happening. People are still clicking on links.
As a hiring manager, what do you look for in a candidate?
Michael: I want to find analysts or investigators that... maybe don’t know the full breadth of what’s out there and they want to get their feet wet. Even more, they want to be exposed – they want to delve into new topics and continue to learn... the ability to go outside of your comfort zone.
What advice do you have for interviewing?
Pierre: For me, It was just the conversations I was having. So, I did like three or four interviews... but I didn’t let them interrogate me. They asked me about my life, and I just told my story... there wasn’t enough time for them to go “so tell me about some-” you know... they hit you with those kind of gotcha interview questions. I was enthusiastic and I really thought a lot about what I would say. I even did some background work, like I went on the Anchor website and I looked at their mission statement and I looked at their history and what their employees do in the matters that they’ve been involved in and it... painted a picture for who I might be talking to and once I knew who I was talking to I could just be myself. You tell them about yourself and they go “Okay, this is a person I could see working here, somebody I would want to work with.”
The recording of the event will be available soon – we’ll share on Seidenberg social media as soon as it’s up!

The innovative program expands access to vital legal education for healthcare professionals in a post-pandemic era.
The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University has launched its first fully virtual program in Health Law and Policy to meet the increasing demand for legal education in the health care sector, spurred by industry growth and by an ever-evolving legal, regulatory, and financial environment for healthcare professionals.
The Law School has long offered robust training in health law and policy for both lawyers and students enrolled in its JD program, but chose to expand its Advanced Certificate in Health Law and Policy online to accommodate practicing lawyers seeking flexible education, as well as health care professionals and administrators who require the legal knowledge to adapt to changes in the industry.
“As healthcare booms in the state and in the region, legal and health care professionals need to have a strong understanding of the legal, regulatory, and economic context in which they and their clients operate. They need to be equipped to deal with rising challenges in health equity and human rights, know how to advise on transactional and compliance matters, and be skilled in influencing public policy,” said Horace E. Anderson Jr., Dean and Professor of Law at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law. “Our new online Advanced Certificate in Healthcare Law and Policy builds on our long-standing expertise in health law and expands access to advanced legal education for working professionals from across the region and beyond.”
Haub Law designed its online Advanced Certificate in Health Law and Policy to deepen students' understanding of the regulatory complexities that affect the US healthcare system through live virtual instruction and asynchronous activities delivered by its expert faculty. Regardless of any prior legal background, students can enroll in the program on a part-time basis and have the option to finish in just one year, benefiting from a fully online class schedule.
“Specialized knowledge of health law offers increased opportunities for lawyers and professionals to advance their careers in today’s job market,” said Jessica Bacher, Director of the Health Law and Policy Program. “Our faculty are expert practitioners and researchers with decades of experience as leaders in New York healthcare organizations. Students will benefit from small group instruction delivered by professors who are at the intersection of rapid changes in the field and can help them put this knowledge to immediate use in their professions.”
The Advanced Certificate in Health Law and Policy program will accept lawyers, as well as non-lawyers, such as insurance, risk management and compliance professionals, hospital administrators, clinicians, and leaders in a broad range of allied fields, including nonprofits and government agencies who are seeking legal literacy. The program will consist of 15 credit hours with 4 core courses, including a workshop in lawyering skills. Specialized electives include insurance law, accounting for lawyers, elder law, environmental law, nonprofit organizations, the legislative process, and more, or students may opt to pursue guided research, independent research or an externship for credit.
“The healthcare sector is a huge part of the GDP, and there’s a lot of opportunity. But our system is complicated and convoluted, involving many different programs like Medicare and Medicaid,” said Haub Law Professor Barbara Atwell, a health law expert/scholar. “What sets the Advanced Certificate in Health Law and Policy apart is the way we really get to the nuts of bolts of how those programs work and the role of the law.”
Haub Law is currently accepting applications for both its in-person and online Advanced Certificates in Health Law and Policy for the Fall 2022 semester.
