Penn State’s AI Week showcased the latest research on artificial intelligence (AI) systems and tools, with a specific focus on their applications across K-12 and higher education.
The annual event, most recently held April 14 through April 17, highlighted Penn State faculty and student research and excellence through panels, research showcases, immersive workshops and a poster session.
Swaroop Ghosh, Penn State professor of electrical engineering and computer science, and Vishal Monga, Penn State professor of electrical engineering, have been selected as 2025 fellows of the Asia-Pacific Artificial Intelligence Association (AAIA).

Carbyne, a one-dimensional chain of carbon atoms, is incredibly strong for being so thin, making it an intriguing possibility for use in next-generation electronics, but its extreme instability causing it to bend and snap on itself made it nearly impossible to produce at all, let alone produce enough of it for advanced studies. Now, an international team of researchers, including from Penn State, may have a solution.
Penn State recently launched the Center of Excellence in Directed Energy (CEDE), a University-wide center designed to conduct basic research on focused energy — like lasers or microwaves — to develop new applications and build up a workforce skilled in the science and systems development of directed energy (DE).
