UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. A newly founded, interdisciplinary research center established to further foundational and applied artificial intelligence (AI) in engineered systems will bring together expertise from 75 researchers representing 24 academic units across Penn State.
The center, funded and supported by the University and housed in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), is part of Penn State’s new AI Hub to facilitate internal collaborations, technology transition and external engagement. Vijaykrishnan

At a formal naming ceremony held May 12, 1990, in conjunction with spring commencement exercises that year, the college was formally renamed as the Eberly College of Science. It distinguished Penn State as the first public research university in the United States to name its basic science college after a benefactor or philanthropist, according to a survey of institutions belonging to the Association of American Universities.
The generosity of the Eberly family has enabled the college to attract and retain faculty members of worldwide renown, who in turn generate higher levels of funding for research at the cutting edge of their fields and create opportunities for study and research that attract top graduate and undergraduate students. The college boasts four National Medal of Science recipients; 18 members of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine; 14 members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences; and 60 members of the American Associ
The tablet-based Alexa skill will provide cancer patients with personalized and supportive care to relieve symptoms. Author: Jermaine Rowley (FOX43) Updated: 11:03 PM EDT April 29, 2021
HERSHEY, Pa. Nurse AMIE will soon be assisting patients with metastatic breast cancer.
AMIE isn t your traditional nurse though. She can be accessed via an Amazon Alexa skill.
Experts from the Penn State University’s College of Medicine and the College of Information Sciences and Technology developed the tablet-based Alexa skill to provide cancer patients with personalized and supportive care to relieve symptoms. The number one thing that metastatic breast cancer patients say when asked about what do you want is more symptom help, Kathryn Schmitz, distinguished professor at Penn State College of Medicine. But they don t have time to come back to another appointment, said Schmitz.

Silverman, who joined the College of Information Sciences and Technology last year as an assistant professor with a focus in biomedical statistics, made global headlines last summer for his study suggesting that 80% of U.S. COVID-19 cases went undetected in March 2020.
He and his research team analyzed data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on the number of patients who sought medical care for influenza-like illnesses during that time span. That number, said Silverman, was far in excess over what was reported in previous years. By applying probabilistic models that Silverman had developed for the analysis of nonlinear time-series data, they found evidence that this excess influenza-like illness was actually caused by the novel coronavirus largely going undiagnosed due to limited testing capacity at the start of the pandemic.
