Scientists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison developed SAMPLE, a self-driving lab that uses a relatively simple AI model to suggest protein tweaks and then directs robots to make and test them. Results are fed back into the model for further improvement. Over a period of six months, the system built a more heat-tolerant enzyme, a feat that would have taken human scientists a year.

When Rashid Bashir came to the United States from Pakistan at 15 years old with his brother, he had money for one year, no return ticket and his sights set on attending college in America.
Bashir, a finalist for UW-Madison chancellor and dean of the College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, credits his success to the support he received at public institutions throughout his education.
Since the 2021-22 school year, the majority of freshmen entering the University of Wisconsin-Madison came from outside Wisconsin:
When Nia Bigby arrived at the University of Wisconsin-Madison as a new student in 2023, she felt pressure to automatically know how things work on campus. Her parents didn’t graduate from college, though, and she didn’t have siblings who could show her the way.
