Penn Engineering to Host India Technology Forum in Mumbai Events / March 10, 2026 Faculty experts in AI and bioengineering will join Dean Vijay Kumar, Rajeev Misra and Hital Meswani for a global innovation forum in Mumbai. Read More New Robotic Microfluidic Platform Brings AI to Lipid Nanoparticle Design AI, Research and Innovation / March 9, 2026 LIBRIS, an automated microfluidic platform, dramatically accelerates the formulation of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), the delivery vehicles behind mRNA vaccines and gene therapies. By generating on the order of 1,000 distinct formulations per hour, the system could enable the large, systematic datasets needed to train predictive AI models. Read More Beyond Algorithms: Engineering Judgment in the Age of AI Academics, Faculty / March 6, 2026 When Justin “Gus” Hurwitz walks into a classroom, he’s not there to teach rules. He’s there to teach engineers to see the fracture points between technical judgment, legal obligation, and moral responsibility. In his Technology, Ethics & the Legal Landscape course, offered within Penn Engineering’s MSE-AI and MCIT programs, a conversation... Read More Alumni Q&A: Hital Meswani Alumni / March 4, 2026 From intellectually intense classrooms to leading one of the world's largest energy and petrochemical enterprises, Hital Meswani (ENG'90, W'90) traces much of his leadership and problem-solving mindset back to Penn Engineering.
