[Video Description: A montage of news headlines, archaeological sites, and historic architecture in Italy, highlighting a breakthrough in reading ancient artifacts. Dr. Brent Seales and Dr. Seth Parker present their research to an audience in a grand, ornately decorated hall, detailing a three-step AI workflow consisting of scanning, segmentation, and ink detection. The video concludes with close-up shots of carbonized, stone-like scroll fragments resting on a white cushion.]

At age 17, Mostafa Mubarak arrived in Lexington knowing very little English and thousands of miles away from his home in Egypt. Now, he’s graduated with three engineering degrees and a second place to call home.

On this #OneDayforUK, Mike Day, 1993 mining engineering graduate, and wife, Jackie, a 1994 College of Education graduate, have generously created a 125 donor challenge. Once the college receives gifts from 125 individual donors—of any amount—it will unlock the Day’s $25,000 gift!

Together, our #BBN engineers make the biggest impact! 😺

Diana Byrne, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, is addressing long-standing challenges facing small water utilities through support from the prestigious @nsfgov Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award.

After joining UK in 2020, Byrne began working with the Appalachian Community Technical Assistance and Training Program, a university-community partnership that supports small, rural water utilities throughout Appalachia. The program focuses on helping utilities address challenges unique to their communities, including technical training and workforce preparation.

Among other support, the program provides workshops to help operators learn key topics such as math and hydraulics which are covered on their licensing exams.
Through this work, Byrne began to see a growing problem affecting water utilities statewide: a shrinking workforce paired with aging infrastructure and declining customer bases.

One aspect of Byrne’s work involves collaboration with correctional facilities to expand training opportunities for incarcerated individuals preparing to reenter the workforce.
