Duke Convenes Global Leaders in Abu Dhabi to Pursue AI’s Next Evolution
The Athena AI Institute brought together prominent stakeholders to further the global collaborations needed to scale edge AI.
Engineering a Smart Society
Harnessing the power of next-generation computing will change the world.
We stand at a historic inflection point with AI breakthroughs, quantum computing, and next-generation hardware on the horizon. Duke Engineering’s decades-long expertise and full-stack research facilities position us at the forefront of this revolution.
A Transformational Investment
Since 1957, Pierre R. Lamond has been at the forefront of the semiconductor revolution. Now, he and his family have looked to Duke to continue that legacy by providing the foundation of a $57 million investment in computing.
Semiconductor Game Changers
Building on Duke’s legacy in high-performance computing and distributed systems, we bring together world-class teams in neuromorphic computing, cloud infrastructures, and AI-enabled hardware.
Computing on the Edge of Tomorrow
From quantum computers to automated robotics, Duke Engineering is the place to build yesterday’s science fiction to power tomorrow’s society.
Quantum Collaboration, Unlimited Possibilities
Backed by over $250 million in collaborative funding, the Duke Quantum Center (DQC) convenes researchers across disciplines to tackle real-world challenges with quantum computers and quantum simulators.
Critical Minerals, Critical Leadership
Tomorrow’s computing advances can’t happen without the basic building blocks needed to build them. Duke’s Critical Minerals Hub addresses aspects of keeping them readily available from geopolitics to circular life cycles.
Transformational Robotics and Automation
Recent investments into robotics facilities and the thought leaders to harness their transformative power has Duke positioned to shape the future of human-robot teaming and surgical practice.
Priorities in Action
The Future Home of Computing at Duke
The transformational renovation of Hudson Hall will create a new home for expanded educational offerings including advanced computing, with contemporary classrooms and teaching labs that provide optimal environments for engineering design, problem-based teaching, and hands-on learning.
