Maryam Tilton, a doctoral student studying mechanical engineering at Penn State, has been awarded a Research Internship in Science and Engineering (RISE) Scholarship from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), a prestigious opportunity to conduct research in the country funded by the German Federal Foreign Office.
The Campus Arts Initiative, a project of Penn State’s Strategic Planning Seed Grant program, has announced the first eight artist collaborators, which were selected from the more than 158 applicants who responded to a national open call.
Fifty-five undergraduate students from across the country have arrived at Penn State to take part in the first-ever Drawdown Scholars Research Experience for Undergraduates Program. Dubbed Drawdown Scholars, the students will spend eight weeks embedded in research programs across the University, with the aim of investigating positive solutions-orientated paths to take action on climate change.
Researchers at Penn State have been awarded $250,000 from the Transportation Research Board to improve bus driver health and safety by transforming operator workstation design, assessment and ergonomics.
Abhronil Sengupta, assistant professor of electrical engineering, has received the 2019 Outstanding Young Author Award from the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Circuits and Systems Society (CASS).
Penn State environmental engineer Bruce Logan is turning local water resources into innovative energy sources, so one day communities can power themselves sustainably.
A team of Penn State graduate students, led by Vishal Monga, associate professor of electrical engineering, won first place in a worldwide image-dehazing challenge, with another Penn State team placing second in the competition.
The Penn State College of Engineering welcomed representatives from 47 companies, six government agencies, seven Penn State campuses and ten colleges at University Park, to its third annual industryXchange at the Nittany Lion Inn on May 30.
Among renewable sources of energy, humans have long recognized the power of water. At the places where freshwater and saltwater meet, for example, there are vast amounts of potential energy to be tapped — enough, in theory, to supply 40 percent of global electricity needs. The process is called salinity gradient energy, and it’s a new area of focus for environmental engineer Bruce Logan. But it’s also a continuation of the work he’s been doing at Penn State for 20 years.
Kaisheng Ma, a 2018 Penn State alumnus of the doctoral computer science and engineering program, recently received the European Design and Automation Association's Ph.D. Outstanding Dissertation Award.
Through its challenging, relevant and dynamic program, Engineering Leadership Development provides students with unique professional engagement opportunities to enhance their engineering education and technical leadership skills.
Two new scholarships are providing financial support for the LGBTQA+ community in the College of Engineering and the College of Arts and Architecture.
Mauricio Terrones, distinguished professor of physics, chemistry, and materials science and engineering at Penn State, has been selected as the Verne M. Willaman Professor of Physics.
A gift from Roger Liang and Annie Kuo will establish the first named professorship within Penn State’s School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
Ali Memari, professor of civil and architectural engineering, Bernard and Henrietta Hankin Chair in Residential Building Construction, and director of the Pennsylvania Housing Research Center at Penn State, was recently named the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Architectural Engineering, produced by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
