Purdue alumni gathered in Houston for "Meet Purdue's Deans of Science and Liberal Arts," an evening of conversation, connection and big ideas.
Purdue Science Dean Lucy Flesch joined Dean Christopher Yeomans of the Purdue University College of Liberal Arts for a fireside chat exploring AI literacy and the opportunities and challenges artificial intelligence presents across higher education, the workforce and society. They were joined on stage by Shawn Taylor, member of the Purdue University Board of Trustees. Thank you to everyone who joined us for an engaging discussion and for helping strengthen the Purdue alumni community in Houston.

While most artificial intelligence models focus on predicting a single, static protein structure, biological reality is far more fluid.

A Purdue University team has developed a solution to that problem. Purdue Science researchers Guang Lin and Ming Chen recently published their multiscale protein dynamics model, named ProTDyn, which has been accepted as a main conference paper at the International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR) 2026.
