At Carnegie Mellon University’s (CMU) Mellon College of Science (MCS), we are innovators and forward-thinkers, entrepreneurs and world-famous pioneers. And we are co-creators, mentors, lifelong learners — and friends. Who We Are Across the Mellon College of Science, you’ll find a community driven by curiosity and connection. We share ideas, tackle big problems and support one another — as people and as scientists. Students, faculty, alumni and industry partners all contribute to a vibrant, intellectual environment that sparks breakthrough discoveries and changes global systems — and occasionally makes pickles glow with electricity. This is a place where Nobel Laureates and Rhodes Scholars walk the same halls as first-year students just beginning to chart their path. Where bold research meets human warmth, and world-changing breakthroughs begin with a lab joke, a late-night brainstorm or a mentor who sees your potential. At MCS, we know that solving society’s biggest challenges starts by showing up for each other.
