Inventing the Future
Penn Engineering and Plaksha University Partner for International Research and Academic Collaboration
Penn Engineering is entering into a partnership with Plaksha University, a leading Indian research university, to enhance international student exchanges and encourage significant educational advancements.
Penn Center on Media, Technology, and Democracy
The University of Pennsylvania announced $10 million in funding for the newly created Center for Media, Technology, and Democracy which will be housed at Penn Engineering and operate in partnership with five other schools at Penn.
Professors Duncan Watts and Christopher Yoo are the principal investigators for the Center, which will serve as a global hub for research and policy, developing solutions to combat misinformation and polarization.
Melding AI and RNA
The NSF AIRFoundry, backed by an $18M grant, will revolutionize RNA research with AI. A partnership among Penn Engineering, the Perelman School of Medicine, and more, the NSF AIRFoundry will pioneer advancements in RNA research, crucial for genetic expression and protein synthesis. Daeyeon Lee, Russell Pearce and Elizabeth Crimian Heuer Professor in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering will serve as the NSF AIRFoundry’s director.
The Rigors of Engineering and the Olympics
Chinedum Osuj, Eduardo D. Glandt Presidential Professor and Chair of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, shares insights from his journey in engineering and Taekwondo.
“Great things only happen because people don’t stop to think they can’t do it.”
Measuring Chaos
Imagine predicting the weather so accurately you’d never need an umbrella. Dani Bassett, J Peter Skirkanich Professor in Bioengineering and Electrical and Systems Engineering, and postdoctoral researcher Kieran Murphy use machine learning to decode chaotic systems like weather patterns, aiming for innovative solutions in various fields.
