#UMiami engineering students tackle water quality issues at Little River. bit.ly/3FmVRna University of Miami College of Engineering

?? This close-up image, captured using our scanning electron microscope, reveals the intricate and often unseen world of household dust. Collected by doctoral student Cristina Fayad Martinez from a Miami home, it is part of one of the few studies of its kind, investigating how dust accumulates, what it contains, and its potential health risks—especially for children. ??

It was an action-packed few days at the College of Engineering. From groundbreaking solutions at the HorizonAI Hackathon to thought-provoking discussions at the Rothberg Catalyzer AI Summit, this week was a testament to the power of innovation, collaboration, and the future of AI. ?? The Hackathon brought together brilliant minds to tackle real-world problems, pushing the boundaries of AI-driven solutions. The creativity and technical capabilities displayed by students and entrepreneurs were nothing short of extraordinary. ?? The Summit fostered important conversations on the future of AI across industries—business, the arts, law, and beyond. The exchange of ideas between researchers, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders highlighted just how transformative this technology can be. We're excited to see how the ideas and projects born here will shape the AI landscape at the University of Miami in the months to come. ?? A special thanks to Jonathan Rothberg and Ana VeigaMilton who made these initiatives possible. Pratim Biswas Lokesh Ramamoorthi Melissa Medina Pete Martinez
