From a Pharaoh's tomb and snake venom come new advances in scientific research and medicine. In a recent @PhillyInquirer article, Penn Engineering's @XueSherryGao and @delafuentelab are highlighted for their advancements in drug research and the application of artificial

Lung fibrosis, a silent disease, is notoriously difficult to diagnose and treat. @ClaudiaLoebel of @pennbioeng and doctoral student, Donia Ahmed, examined what happens right at the onset of the disease. Working with intact tissue samples, the researchers exposed lung tissue to

Attracting more than 1000 students, this year's Venture Lab Entrepreneurship Expo was a huge success. As the largest entrepreneurship event at Penn, the expo encourages students to "Start Here" with networking opportunities, alumni and industry-run workshops and exposure to

Third-year @MEAM_Penn student Ngaatendwe Manyika spent her summer working with @LorenaGrundy (@CBE_Penn) to create a new class, the Renewable Technologies Lab, coming to Penn in Fall 2026. This work was funded by the Integrating Sustainability Across Curriculums program, a part

@vanessaZchan, Penn Engineering's Vice Dean for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, discusses her journey through academia and industry in @Technical_ly's "How I Got Here" series. Chan says, "Sometimes we’re afraid to try to disrupt or do new things, and the only way we’re going to

This summer at @GRASPLab, Emil Kielar (AI’28, ROBO’28) worked to build an AI system for automated fruit counting and yield predictions. Inspired by time spent at his grandparents' farm, he says, "I hope to finally bridge that gap, using AI and computer vision to make the work of

.@fenglia_seas of @MSEatPenn & @ESEatPenn has brought quantum networking out of the laboratory and onto @verizon fiber-optic cables. Using the same Internet Protocol as today's web, his lab's new chip manages quantum signals while correcting noise, bundles quantum and classical

At New Student Orientation, Penn Engineering welcomed its newest students. Full auditoriums of undergraduates, graduate and doctoral students received an introduction from Dean Vijay Kumar and faculty leadership. Here's to an inspiring year of discovery and new connections!

Penn students are using AI to help protect whales. Using @noaa data, @PennEngAI and @PennSAS students built models to locate and simulate whale populations, supporting efforts to monitor and conserve marine life. https://t.co/n2PmGZGnwo #AIForScience

A former jazz musician turned neuroscientist, @EvaDyer of @pennbioeng & @cis_penn at Penn Engineering, harnesses AI to decipher the brain’s code. Her work helps decode signals for research in brain-computer interfaces. https://t.co/RsfmgxhXiE

A warm welcome to the latest group of Clark Scholars. During pre-orientation, the new cohort connected with peers and leaders and explored campus through a scavenger hunt. "With the support of our amazing Clark peer mentors, we're building relationships and connections that will

Welcome back, Penn Engineers. The campus is buzzing with energy, and Dean Vijay Kumar, Nemirovsky Family Dean, extends a warm welcome to new and returning students, faculty and staff. The Dean's message celebrates the community's strength and highlights how new facilities like

How can robots recover from sandy traps on the Moon? The TRUSSES Project, led by Cynthia Sung, unites @PennEngineers & @USC researchers. At White Sands National Park, TRUSSES joined LASSIE to test multirobot systems that map hazards & climb dunes in a simulated lunar environment.

@PennEngineers Professor @RICEric22 (@cis_penn) spoke with @tracydavidson (@NBCPhiladelphia) about AI voice cloning scams. He explains how the technology works and how people can protect themselves. #AIScam #Cybersecurity https://t.co/xozvgZgfuH

A new solar-driven water harvesting device, inspired by raspberries and sunflowers, collects moisture from the air. Developed by @ShuYangPenn (@CBE_Penn & @MSEatPenn), the new material is 4.4 times faster than conventional systems, offering a promising solution for water

Meet a few first-year students from Penn Engineering's Class of 2029! #PennEngineeringProud

In @NatureMicrobiol, Penn researchers used AI to identify antibiotic candidates in Archaea, microbes from extreme environments. Led by @delafuentelab, Presidential Associate Professor at @PennEngineers

An AI tool that designs drugs using protein sequences shows promise for targeting previously untreatable diseases. @pranamanam and a multi-disciplinary team of researchers from @McMasterU, @CornellU and @DukeU used the AI tool, called PepMLM, to read the "language" of proteins.

Dean @Vijay_r_Kumar recently spoke with Ben Kaplan of Deep Venture Partners about the future of robotics. The two explore how AI is reshaping the future of robots, why aerial drones still struggle, what swarm intelligence can teach us and the real-world impact of robots in
