A look back at 2022 through photos
December 21, 2022
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — These are some of the photos that best captured the excitement and spirit of innovation across the College of Engineering in 2022.
Akhlesh Lakhtakia, Evan Pugh University Professor and Charles G. Binder Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics, is exploring a new technique to develop physical, seemingly two-dimensional fingerprints into 3D holograms for fingerprint analysis. Credit: Kelby Hochreither/Penn State.
Campers in the AEspiring Architectural Engineering camp explore the Sound Perception and Room Acoustics Laboratory. The camp is one of several events hosted by departments in the College of Engineering to introduce K-12 students to STEM. Credit: Kelby Hochreither/Penn State.
In the Center for Nanotechnology Education and Utilization (CNEU), students learn the principles and practices needed to succeed in the semiconductor industry. Recently, CNEU was named as one of the recipients of a four-year, $4.6 million, multi-institution grant from the National Science Foundation to provide microelectronics and nanomanufacturing training to military service members and veterans.

Senior engineering students presented their capstone design projects in the Bernard M. Gordon Learning Factory spring and fall showcases. Credit: Kelby Hochreither/Penn State.
Researchers led by Cunjiang Yu, Dorothy Quiggle Career Development Associate Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics and associate professor of biomedical engineering and of materials science and engineering, manufactured a stretchy, wearable synaptic transistor that works like neurons in the brain to send signals to some cells and inhibit others in order to enhance and weaken the devices’ memories.

Penn State researchers led by Ryan Harne, James F. Will Career Development Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, created a novel material capable of “thinking.” The soft, conductive mechanical material contains reconfigurable circuits that can realize combinational logic.
