Purdue University is deepening its academic ties with Japan through a new letter of intent signed with Tohoku University, building on three decades of collaboration.

The agreement paves the way for expanded joint research, student and scholar exchanges, and cooperative training, with a strong foundation already in place in hydrogen energy and semiconductors through efforts like the ASPIRE-Hydrogen project and the UPWARDS Network.

Purdue researchers bring strengths in AI-driven materials discovery, first-principles modeling, and device-level translation, while Tohoku contributes deep expertise in interface science and electrochemistry. Together, we aim to bridge atomic-scale understanding with real-world energy applications.

"Our next step is to establish a Purdue-Tohoku Joint Institute as a platform for genuine collaboration and then compete together for major joint U.S.-Japan projects, including opportunities under the Genesis Mission," said Zhenhua Zeng, assistant research professor of chemistry and chemical engineering who leads the Purdue-Tohoku partnership in hydrogen energy.

The signing was marked by a handshake between Dimitrios Peroulis, Purdue's senior vice president for partnerships and online, and Masahiro Yamaguchi, Tohoku's executive vice president for International Strategy and Global Education Initiatives.

Faculty from Purdue included Guang Lin, College of Science Associate Dean of Research and Innovation, Yulia Pushkar, Professor of Physics and Astronomy, Jian Xie, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, and Zhenhua Zeng, Assistant Professor of Chemistry.

Hands-on learning is one of the best ways to make complex ideas accessible. That's why Purdue University partnered with LEGO Education to help middle school educators bring AI, computer science and robotics into their classrooms through engaging, classroom-ready activities. By empowering teachers with practical tools and real-world applications, we're helping students move beyond simply using AI, to understanding and creating with it.
