RESEARCH & INNOVATION

Assistant Professor Pin-Kuang Lai has been awarded a grant of $525,000 from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The grant, part of a $1.05 million collaboration with the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), aims to delve into the world of metabolic engineering using leading-edge machine learning techniques.

STUDENT SUCCESSES

Chemical engineering majors Mircea Florescu and Isabela Simpson were among three Stevens students chosen from a pool of nearly 1,000 high school and college-level applicants from across the state as Governor’s STEM Scholars.

The Pinnacle Scholar from Kazakhstan uses AI and other computational methods to search for promising new medicines — while also running several nonprofits and staying active on campus.

Last year, Stevens hosted 10 undergraduate students and four high school teachers for an immersive research experience: Research Experiences For Undergraduate Students (REU)/Research Experiences For High School Teachers (RET) Site: Interdisciplinary Research Experience in Sustainable Energy and Bioengineering.
