Innovation Unbounded by Time

The Spring 2026 WPI Journal highlights innovation in the past, present, and future. We look back at Robert Goddard’s undergraduate years to see how WPI influenced the father of modern rocketry and then ask other members of our community, “Where did you get your spark?” You can read how Phil Surgen ’04 is using AI to give Trackhouse Racing an edge now while building NASCAR’s digital future. And Associate Professor Erin Solovey puts the dangers and opportunities of AI in perspective, in today’s world and the not-too-distant future. In addition, read about howKyle Doll ’27 is helping to make city streets safer; how Laura Martinez is working to build trust with the city; and why Professor Renata Konrad has a fake African violet in her office.
