Our engineers have built the future. We helped to pioneer the plug-in hybrid car and invent broadband communications.

on fossil fuels
Widely known as the “father of the plug-in hybrid,” Professor Andrew Frank has championed this approach to fuel-efficient vehicles that combines gasoline engines with electric motors running on rechargeable batteries.
In 1997, when broadband communications and the “World Wide Web” were both in their infancy, two Ƶ professors and a graduate student came up with a better way to route data in fiber optic networks.
