Biography:
Angelo Lampousis received his PhD in environmental geophysics from CUNY-City College & Graduate Center in February 2009. He currently splits his time between teaching as an adjunct assistant Professor at the Hunter College Department of Geography and working as an environmental engineering consultant in a private consulting firm. Since June 2009, he is also the Seminar Series Faculty Coordinator for the City College Department of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences.
Since 2002 he has been the producer and host of science programs for Cosmos FM 91.5, which is part of WNYE, a public television and radio station owned by the New York City Department of Education. His bi-weekly contributions to WNYE 91.5 FM Cosmos radio include in depth coverage of the on-going technological innovation activity. Dr. Lampousis focuses on how technological innovations are commercialized, and how they, eventually, affect people's lives. His investigative reporting is accessible through his personal website and blog at http://www.inun.tv as well as through several New York City based media outlets.
Dr. Lampousis’ professional experience includes a combination of environmental site assessments and scholarly research conducted along government institutions such as the Brookhaven National Laboratory and the United States Geological Survey.
His professional experience in the environmental services industry includes performance of Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (Phase I ESAs) of various types of properties in the New York Metropolitan area. The Phase I ESAs were performed in accordance with the ASTM Standard Practice E 1527-05 for site acquisitions or prospective lenders involved in such transactions. Dr. Lampousis also has participated in subsurface investigations involving soil, soil vapor, and groundwater sampling. For subsurface investigations, he has overseen the installation of soil borings and permanent monitoring wells by a hollow-stem auger rig, collected soil and groundwater samples utilizing a direct-push unit, performed well gauging of permanent wells to measure the groundwater table elevation and to detect the presence and thickness of petroleum product on groundwater, and performed low-flow groundwater sampling in accordance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) protocol. In addition, Dr. Lampousis has collected soil vapor samples in accordance with the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) Guidance for Evaluation Soil Vapor Intrusion.
During the months of April and May 2007 he participated as a research assistant in “The Millennium Villages Project”, a program sponsored by the United Nations and Columbia University of New York (http://www.earth.columbia.edu/millenniumvillages/). He was located in Mbola of Tanzania, Africa, where he conducted the pilot testing of an energy survey before its large-scale application.
Dr. Lampousis is also the President of the Axion Estin Foundation, Inc. (http://www.axionestin.org), an organization for the promotion of medieval Byzantine Music in the US. Under his leadership the foundation organized the presentation of the Greek Byzantine Choir at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Temple of Dendur on January 2008.

Courses:
- RESEARCHER COMMERCIALIZATION
- This unique course will deal with successfully commercializing any type of research activity, whether focused on engineering, physical sciences or life-sciences. The course will discuss the practical business and legal issues that researchers need to understand to commercialize their research. We will deal with the different ways to commercialize research, ranging from the traditional (i.e., employment and licensing) to the more entrepreneurial (i.e., consulting, joint venturing/strategic alliance and startup company). We will show how these commercialization methods overlap and how they differ. We will deal with fundamental topics like intellectual property, licensing agreements, employment agreements and consulting agreements, which researchers must understand regardless of whether they intend to be researchers at a university lab or the founder of the next great public company. We will then turn to the advance topics of creating and funding companies. The main difference between the fundamental and advance topics is that the fundamental are basically personal topics that every researcher needs to know in their commercialization efforts. The advance topics deal with commercializing as a group, with the resulting complexities of understanding the relationships and expectations of the other team members in the company, be they other employees, founders, executives, board members, shareholders, investors or partners.Each lecture is a 90-minute webinar. There will be expert guest speakers for each session.
- Geomorphology (graduate level)
- Jan-May 2007School of Architecture, Urban Design and Landscape Architecture, City College of New York, New York, NY.Study of landforms and their evolution. Emphasis is placed on topographic expression of geologic structures and features, as well as on the relationships between properties of earth materials and the forces applied to them by all agents of erosion, including humans. The lectures will provide the theoretical basis of geomorphology. The laboratories will demonstrate concepts of geomorphology through map exercises and fieldtrips. One fieldtrip will take place in Central Park during lab hours. If possible, an additional day-long (weekend) field trip to Caumsett State Park, Long Island or Orchard Beach, Bronx will be organized. If this trip occurs (to be discussed in class), it will count for three lab sessions.Recommended Readings:GeomorphologyB. W.
