Tong Zhang, a professor of electrical, computer, and systems engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, has been elevated to IEEE Fellow, effective January 1, 2020.

On the newest episode of Why Not Change the World? The RPI Podcast, two leading engineers reflect on what drew them to the field and how it can be used to change the world.

The Center for Career and Professional Development at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has been strategically building partnerships with companies throughout the United States and globally to create a wide array of opportunities for students to pursue as part of The Arch at Rensselaer. One notable partnership Rensselaer cultivated is with Western Digital.

As a participant in pilot two of The Arch at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Daniel Kang ’20, a biomedical engineering major with a concentration in mechanics, enhanced his academic portfolio by attending Télécom Physique in Strasbourg, France.

There are lots of reasons to switch to an electric car: they’re more fun to drive, cheaper to fuel, and way better for the environment than gas guzzlers. As a member of the Rensselaer community, you already live or work near a charging station, but if you’re still waiting for a sign to make the switch to electric, this is it.

The machine learning techniques that are increasingly being used to interpret data have the potential to advance our understanding and management of human health. In a position paper recently published in Digital Medicine, a Nature Journal, an interdisciplinary team of experts from across the country lay out a possible path forward for improving these data analytic techniques.

The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has named Rensselaer professors George Makhatadze and Vincent Meunier as 2019 AAAS Fellows for their efforts toward advancing science applications that are scientifically or socially distinguished. 

How natural systems are impacted by human activities is the focus of the latest episode of Why Not Change the World? The RPI Podcast. 

Future space exploration will require that the cryogenic fuel used to propel machinery in space be stored in tanks for months, even years, aboard spacecraft, but the behavior of this type of fuel is different in space than it is on Earth.

The Paul J. ’69 and Kathleen M. Severino Center for Technological Entrepreneurship at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute recently held its biannual Change the World Challenge during which four student teams were named winners for the business concepts they developed to address societal challenges.
