Students in RPI Engineers Without Borders are making a global impact! 🌍 They recently spent a week in Panama upgrading solar systems at a school and church, powering tools like TVs and printers. Support their work: bit.ly/3SMbkAP #EngineersWithoutBorders #RPI




RPI and @CityUHongKong researchers are reimagining AI, using brain-like loops instead of bulky models for smarter, more efficient results. 🧠 bit.ly/45SImqn #AI #RPIResearch

"I hope with my company being the first AI acquisition, and huge strides being done at places like RPI for their SCAIE accelerator, we can build upon the CHIPS renaissance for worldwide recognition." - Sean Austin ’11, Chief AI Officer, Humach #RPI #RPIAlumni
In partnership with @acsorganic, we are honored to host the 49th National Organic Chemistry Symposium next week at EMPAC. The symposium brings together leading researchers and rising stars to explore the latest advances in organic chemistry. bit.ly/43XjwmI #NOS2025

Congrats to Professors Jennifer Pazour and M. Hakan Hekimoglu on being named James M. Tien ’66 Dean’s Faculty Fellows in Decision Sciences and Engineering Systems (DSES)! This honor recognizes their contributions to advancing research/education in DSES. bit.ly/4jAqoMD

“Why bother having a circadian rhythm in something that’s not going to be very long-lived?” RPI’s Jennifer Hurley poses this question on NPR’s Short Wave. The episode explores why short-lived immune cells like neutrophils still follow the body’s clock. n.pr/3ZMCH1m

🚉 A new exhibit at the Joseph L. Bruno Rail Station, launched by @CDTA and @Hart_Cluett_Mus, features work by RPI student Naomi Gaylor ’26 developed through undergraduate research with guidance from RPI professor and alumna Sara Tack, M.F.A. ’01. bit.ly/3SB2mpW
