Inventing the Future
A Look Inside One uCity Square
One uCity Square is a a dynamic space that brings together Penn Engineering, Penn Medicine and a wide range of research centers and startups to advance precision medicine. This fall, Penn Engineering faculty moved into their new labs, where natural light, flexible seating and shared resources drive discovery. Among these researchers are Xue “Sherry” Gao, Noor Momin, Shujie Yang, Claudia Loebel, Michael J. Mitchell, Yihui Shen and Daniel A. Hammer.
A Brighter, Greener Future
The Vagelos Laboratory for Energy Science and Technology is a newly dedicated, $173 million cutting-edge facility designed to propel interdisciplinary research and house the Vagelos Integrated Program in Energy Research (VIPER), an undergraduate dual-degree program run jointly by the School of Arts & Sciences and the School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS).
