🔜 E-Day is officially under ONE MONTH away! Sign your thinkers and tinkerers up for a Saturday STEM celebration here: See you on Feb. 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.! 🤩

In December, @NASA announced it's sending a second #Artemis rocket into space. Aiding in its mission are students and faculty from the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. The team has been working doggedly to improve the durability of the rocket's heat shields. 🚀 Watch the story from KET here:

Is math the key to economic growth in Kentucky? Y. Charles Lu, director of the UK Engineering Paducah Campus and the H. E. Katterjohn Professor of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, shared how his campus is preparing students for the workforce in West Kentucky.

Ashley Morris, Ph.D. is a principal research engineer at the Center for Applied Energy Research (CAER) and Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering alumna. 🌟 Read her story from almost finance major to defending her Ph.D. seven months pregnant here:

It's time to get crackin'! 🥚 Register for the E-Day Egg Drop by Feb. 15.

We love to see finance majors complementing their education with computer science! 🙌

UK is leading a $24 million, eight-institution collaboration to advance Kentucky’s climate resiliency by addressing fundamental knowledge gaps using big data, artificial intelligence and risk assessment tools to predict and respond to hazards like floods and landslides, and target infrastructure improvements in water, power, traffic and communications. Full story here:

Brent Seales,  a professor in the Department of Computer Science, has been selected to lead a new national program that supports research at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and the humanities. Seales, who is also the Stanley and Karen Pigman Heritage Science Chair, is joining the AI & Advanced Computing Institute at Schmidt Sciences. “This initiative represents a remarkable convergence of technology and the humanities,” Scales said. “By using AI to tackle complex questions in the humanities, we can uncover insights that were previously out of reach — transforming how we study and preserve human history and culture.” Full story here:
