Dave Cappelleri's work in IoT4Ag, an NSF Engineering Research Center, is putting autonomous ag-robots and physical AI to work on the grand challenge of feeding a growing planet.

After 20 years of experience in community-engaged learning, Chris Lombardo will start as the new director of EPICS at Purdue University on July 1, 2026.

When NASA’s Artemis II crew successfully slingshotted around the Moon in April 2026, it marked the first time in more than 50 years that humans made such a journey.

David Simchi-Levi joined Purdue in January 2026 and directs the Data Science Center for Decision Making, which integrates predictive (AI and Machine Learning), prescriptive (Optimization and Simulation) and generative (Large Language Models) technologies.

Robert H. Buckman's life and legacy stand as a model of leadership, global citizenship and unwavering dedication to Purdue University.

The Purdue 1 mission is a first: a university-led, research-focused suborbital flight with an all-Boilermaker crew. In a few minutes of weightlessness, experiments that span quantum physics, manufacturing and fluid dynamics will test whether the systems that humanity will need in space can be made efficient, reliable and operationally resilient.

In collaboration with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and 40+ industry partners, LyoHUB is hosting a workshop in the Washington, D.C., area to discuss safety measures for parenteral drug products that are lyophilized.

Congratulations to Purdue Engineers who recently received patents on their intellectual property from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Mechanical engineering professor Arezoo Ardekani and her doctoral student Kaeul Lim have leveraged hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and machine learning (ML) to develop a novel, label-free and noninvasive method to characterize nanoparticles.

Today, Jorge Hernandez is a senior in Purdue's Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering and is expected to graduate in December 2026. Along the way, he has built a college experience filled with research, student organizations, internships, global experiences and career opportunities that he says exceeded anything he imagined.
