Congratulations robotics engineering student Antonio Marzoratti! He’s been named one of Boston Business Journal’s 25 Innovators Under 25.
Antonio co-founded a mobility company that is developing PAWE (Portable Affordable Wheelchair Enhancer), an attachment that converts a into an electric one for improved mobility. Antonio and his team work closely with WPI’s i3 Lab, finding support and mentorship in the university’s hub for student innovation and entrepreneurship.
Congrats! bit.ly/3WTyhae

What if recycled batteries lasted twice as long? WPI researchers built cells from battery waste that kept 70% capacity after 2,590 cycles. 🔋
Professor Yan Wang's team upgraded both the cathode and anode materials from mixed battery waste, outperforming commercial materials.

WPI Chemical Engineering researchers are studying bamboo’s potential as a source of lower cost renewable transportation fuel.
Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute have demonstrated that bamboo can be converted into competitive transportation fuel using hydrothermal liquefaction, a process that converts biomass into biocrude. Economic modeling suggests bamboo-based fuel could sell for as little allon equivalent at commercial scale, with greenhouse gas emissions 26 times lower than conventional petroleum diesel. A life-cycle assessment found the fuel generates just 3.5 grams of CO2-equivalent per megajoule. Bamboo also requires only about 13% of the cultivated land needed to match current US corn ethanol production, grows on poor or degraded soils, and produces negligible waste due to its very low ash content. Unlike annual crops, bamboo is a perennial grass that requires minimal agricultural inputs and stores large amounts of carbon underground. The research is published in Sustainable Energy & Fuels.

What’s the best way to learn in the age of AI? The answer could be a teaching method we’re all about at WPI. Project-based learning. It’s immersive, hands-on, experiential learning. All of our students do it, practicing theory in multiple real-world projects and strengthening adership, and critical thinking skills along the way.

Can AI help doctors catch melanoma sooner?
@WPI researchers' TwinSight model placed 3rd of 181 teams in an international skin imaging AI challenge, combining two types of deep learning to analyze lesions. The goal: a handheld tool for primary care visits. 🔬

Whether it's your phone, a laptop, or even a toy just hanging around the house, there's a distinct possibility you have a device with a lithium-ion battery in your home. The experts at WPI are testing just how dangerous these batteries can be if they're not treated properly.

Bamboo isn't just for pandas. New WPI research from the Department of Chemical Engineering finds bamboo-derived biofuel could compete with gasoline and diesel on cost while producing far lower greenhouse gas emissions. Because bamboo grows quickly and needs less land, it could fuels without a food-versus-fuel tradeoff. Read more about the study: bit.ly/3TznIrW

Created by @WPI students, this series helps residents understand combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and their impact on local waterways.
As winter approaches, heavy rain and snowmelt can strain older sewer systems, increasing the risk of sewage overflows into waterways.

What we keep around us says a lot about what drives us.
Stephen McCauley, Department Head and Associate Professor of Teaching in WPI's Department of Integrative and Global Studies, shared the stories behind six objects in his office: a student's vision of a sustainable city, a Project Center he co-directs, and a handmade crochet box that captures the community at the Global Lab.
