Moderated by President Marty Schmidt ’81, today’s Colloquy featured two remarkable leaders at the forefront of science and health care: The Honorable Dr. Darío Gil, Under Secretary for Science at the U.S. Department of Energy, and Christine Ann Miller ’97, life sciences executive who most recently served as President and CEO of Melinta Therapeutics.

Both shared expert insights on their respective fields — and the personal experiences and formative moments behind their impressive careers.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this inspiring conversation! ✨

This weekend, we're proud to award an honorary degree to The Honorable Dr. Darío Gil. 👏

From leading the development of the world's first programmable quantum computers at IBM and making them accessible through the cloud, to serving as Under Secretary for Science at the U.S. Department of Energy — overseeing the nation's largest federal investment in basic research in the physical sciences — Darío has spent his career pushing the boundaries of AI, quantum computing, and scientific discovery.

He is the force behind major scientific initiatives including the International Science Reserve, the AI Alliance, and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab, and previously served on the RPI Board of Trustees.

Darío embodies what it means to turn bold ideas into global impact — a true pioneer shaping the future of science.

Ryan Cheng didn't expect to graduate from a STEM school with a renewed passion for storytelling.

He came to study biology, not knowing that his passion for creativity, paired with the support of the RPI community, would lead him down a different path.
