Engineering students broaden their focus from lab benches to global supply chains with the help of industry in the Circular Economy Program.

The Human Engineering Research Laboratories talk focused on how artificial intelligence is changing the innovation landscape and helping people with disabilities.

He teamed up with former Pitt researcher Andrew Daley on the research, which developed a programmable platform that could provide new ways to explore electrons in chiral systems.

The associate professor of psychology is one of five researchers in the inaugural cohort.

The campus’ Theta Pi chapter of Beta Beta Beta received that and other honors at the organization’s recent regional meeting.

The cohort, led by Professor Emily Elliott, monitored the downriver impacts from an artificial spring flood along the Allegheny River.
