A recent @Forbes article highlights how AI is shaping early careers. According to Chris Callison-Burch, professor in @cis_penn, this is because "AI can perform tasks that were previously reserved for trained professionals." However, Callison-Burch adds that "it’s a perfect time…
@PennEngineers and @allen_ai developed CoSyn, a tool that helps open-source AI models understand complex images like nutrition labels and math problems. bit.ly/3GK5WM5 @CIS_Penn #ComputerVision
Very much enjoyed advocating for symbolic reasoning for Trustworthy AI in my NSF CISE lecture, the recording is now available at nsf.gov/events/neurosy…
Welcome Pranam! We’re excited to have you!! 🎉👏
The next chapter of my lab's story begins today at @Penn as I join the faculty of @pennbioeng and @CIS_Penn! ❤️💙 My wonderful students and I will continue to push the frontiers of generative algorithm theory to design and translate next-gen biologics for unmet/rare indications…
Professor Chris Callison-Burch (@cis_penn, @PennEngOnline, @PennEngineers) and other researchers reflect in @QuantaMagazine on how ChatGPT disrupted the field of natural language processing (NLP) and triggered a profound shift in research priorities. bit.ly/4m6pSIC
Congrats!! We are so excited to have you!
I'm so excited to be joining @Penn as an Assistant Professor in CS (@CIS_Penn) in Fall 2026! I’ll be working on machine learning ecosystems, aiming to steer how multi-agent interactions shape performance trends and societal outcomes. I’ll be recruiting PhD students this cycle!
Excited that Phillip Hilliard (co-advised with @RajeevAlur) will present work on adaptively processing stream queries with ML operations, in the aiDM workshop at SIGMOD in ~1 hour! The idea: under QoS/budget constraints, we should adaptively trade off accurate vs fast models.
In a two-part @NPR podcast series, @Lee_BenjaminC (@ESEatPenn, @cis_penn) discusses how data centers powering AI systems are driving up energy and water use and what can be done to reduce their footprint. n.pr/3EI0Jn7 #AIandClimate #DataCenters
.@Lee_BenjaminC (@ESEatPenn, @cis_penn), in a recent Q&A with Penn Today, explains how NPUs are enabling more efficient on-device AI in phones and laptops. He also notes the sustainability tradeoffs as larger chips carry a higher carbon footprint.
"I met people from all over the world and formed lifelong friendships that I will forever cherish," says Cameron Bosio-Kim of @CIS_Penn about her time studying in Edinburgh, Scotland, with @PennAbroad.
We’re saddened to share that Professor Norman Badler has passed. A pioneer in computer graphics and AI, his legacy lives on through decades of research, teaching, and mentorship. “Norm’s grace, generosity, and unwavering spirit shaped our community.” Norm will be greatly missed.

Congratulations to Julia Dase (MSE’25), Ainsley Rexford (MEAM’25), Jonathan Wu (ESE’25) & Lizzie He (M&T’25) on graduating from the Benjamin Franklin Scholar program.
Open House 2025 marked a joyful transition for Penn Engineering graduates. After Commencement, graduates and their families celebrated with t-shirt printing, photos, and reminiscing with faculty. Congratulations to the newest alumni!
In Ep. 6 of the @PennEngineers Innovation & Impact podcast, Dean Kumar explores how #AI, #chemE & #biochem converge at Penn via the NSF AIRFoundry. Hear from Zach Ives, one of our online professors from @CIS_Penn, on using AI & data integration to drive smarter, faster research.
Today, during the Engineering School's grand finale of commencement ceremonies: Congratulations to all of our @PennEngineers and @CIS_Penn 2025 Bachelor's graduates, and their families! So proud of all of you!
Congratulations to Penn Engineering's Class of 2025! Embodying creativity and innovation, these graduates are ready for whatever is next. #PennEngineeringProud #PennGrad
Zixuan Yi, a doctoral student at @PennEngineers advised by @WarrenCntrPenn affiliate Zack Ives, develops new machine-learning solutions to optimize complex database and AI agent tasks, focusing on efficiency, scalability, and reliability. penntoday.upenn.edu/news/penn-engi…
Introducing the latest Ph.D. graduates from Penn Engineering! From six engineering departments, these graduates are ready to take on new challenges and responsibly shape the future. #PennEngineeringProud #PennGrad
Pot of gold at the end of obstacle course with conference submission deadlines: a PhD! Congratulations to Dr. Anton Xue! @AntonXue
The best day of the year! I have been so fortunate to attract such amazing talent: @JiahuiLei1998 @EChatzipantazis @WenJiang_PL walked today (see pic), two more are graduating this year @xu_yinshua86846 and @ZiyunClaudeWang !
