Getting to Know the Detkin Lab: A Collaborative Playground Supporting the Next Generation of Electrical and Systems Engineers
Large amounts of data are becoming more accessible every day in almost all industries. Electrical and system engineering skills such as developing nanoscale devices, designing high-power, high-frequency electronics and building intelligent and autonomous systems that can sense, interpret and train AI models are in high demand but are not easy to teach in a traditional classroom. Penn Engineering’s Peter Detkin Lab combines the classroom, lab and maker space into one, providing students with an experience that not only teaches those skills, but encourages students to push limits even further.

Penn Launches New Center for Quantum Information, Engineering, Science and Technology (Penn QUIEST)
Through major investments by governments around the world, and with companies large and small seeking to realize practical quantum technologies, we are witnessing the dawn of the quantum information age. Today, Dawn Bonnell, Senior Vice Provost for Research, announces with Vijay Kumar, Nemirovsky Family Dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science and Professor in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics, Electrical and Systems Engineering, and Computer and Information Science, and Steven J. Fluharty, Dean of the School of Arts & Sciences and Thomas S. Gates, Jr. Professor of Psychology, Pharmacology, and Neuroscience, the formation of a new Center for Quantum Information, Engineering, Science and Technology (Penn QUIEST). Penn QUIEST will be led by Director Lee C. Bassett, Associate Professor in Electrical and Systems Engineering, together with an Executive Committee of faculty from the School of Engineering and Applied Science and the School of Arts & Sciences.

The PRECISE Center Turns 15 - and Looks to the Future with Two New Faculty Members
The Penn Research in Embedded Computing and Integrated Systems Engineering, or PRECISE, Center was founded 15 years ago with the mission of bringing together experts from the computer science and the electrical and systems engineering fields to accelerate technological progress, expand capabilities and share knowledge about the way machines interact with the world through their computing systems. As PRECISE looks to the future, the Center has welcomed two new faculty members, Benjamin Lee, Professor in Electrical and Systems Engineering (ESE) and in Computer and Information Science (CIS), and Mingmin Zhao, Assistant Professor in CIS and in ESE. They will contribute to the goal of developing a new architecture for cyber-physical systems, the technology that connects devices or other objects to the internet. READ MORE
On a Different Wavelength, Nader Engheta Leads a Community in Light
Nader Engheta, H. Nedwill Ramsey Professor in Electrical and Systems Engineering, Bioengineering, Materials Science and Engineering, and Physics & Astronomy, was puzzled when he got a call from the psychology department about a fish. In the early 1990s, Engheta, a newly minted associate professor of electrical engineering in Penn’s School of Engineering and Applied Science, was a respected expert in radio wave technologies. But in recent years, his work had been expanding into subjects at once more eccentric and fundamental. READ MORE
