The College of Engineering continues to advance its digital technology initiative, fostering collaborations that bridge academia, industry, and the community. Our recent Rothberg Catalyzer AI Summit and HorizonAI Hackathon exemplify this commitment, showcasing the transformative potential of artificial intelligence across various industries.
Faculty and students at the college are also pioneering AI-driven research across diverse disciplines. Samiul Amin, professor of practice in chemical engineering, is using AI to enhance product formulation in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Minghze Chen, assistant professor of electrical engineering, is advancing 6G wireless communications and sensor technology by integrating AI to improve network efficiency and connectivity. Our mechanical engineering students are leveraging AI in their Lunabotics project, developing autonomous lunar rovers designed for future space exploration. These initiatives highlight the transformative impact of AI in engineering and reinforce our commitment to innovation.
I hope to see you at this year's Senior Design Expo on April 29, where you can witness firsthand how College of Engineering students are tackling real-world challenges through engineering innovation.
Sincerely,
Pratim Biswas

The Horizon AI Hackathon, made possible by the Rothberg Catalyzer Fund and the José Milton Foundation Digital Tech Initiative Fund, brought together more than 300 students and entrepreneurs to develop AI-driven solutions over the course of two days.
A team of researchers, led by Suhrud Rajguru, a professor of biomedical engineering, is studying how blasts can damage the human body and exploring ways to prevent further hearing and balance difficulties.
Researchers and entrepreneurs at the Rothberg Catalyzer AI Summit of the Americas discussed making AI accessible across disciplines and equipping students with skills for future opportunities.
A team of environmental engineering students are taking on a challenge: improving water quality at Little River, a key canal that discharges into Biscayne Bay and one of the most polluted waterways in Florida.
The Society of Women Engineers recently welcomed nearly 200 high school students to Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day, an event designed to spark curiosity and passion for STEM. Throughout the day, students explored the world of engineering by engaging in a panel discussion with students and industry professionals and participating in a hands-on activity.
Community-Smart Infrastructure
The Civil and Architectural Engineering Department hosted the inaugural symposium on Community-Smart Infrastructure & Innovations & Implementation (CSi3), bringing together experts to address the challenges of adapting infrastructure durability, bridge management, and coastal resilience, shaping the future of smarter, more adaptable communities.
E-Week
The Engineering Student Council hosted a series of E-Week activities celebrating innovation, collaboration, and community. Throughout the week, students, faculty, and staff came together to showcase the impact of engineering through hands-on activities, networking events, and competitions.
