Inventing the Future
Brewing Brilliance
Nader Engheta, H. Nedwill Ramsey Professor in Electrical and Systems Engineering (ESE), regularly joins his colleague Firooz Aflatouni, associate professor and undergraduate chair in ESE, for a cup of tea. Together, the pair discuss history, politics, and of course, science. Most recently, the two devised a novel chip that uses light rather than electricity to perform vector-matrix multiplication, a key mathematical operation in the training of neural networks.
Investing in AI at Penn Engineering
