William & Mary is launching a new degree in Bioengineering in fall 2027 through the School of Computing, Data Sciences & Physics, giving students new pathways into one of science and engineering's fastest-growing fields.

Dr. Geoffrey Zahn, an assistant professor of applied science at William & Mary, is pioneering new methods to ensure these coastal defenses survive. He was recently awarded a $369,000 grant from the Revive & Restore Climate Resilience Fund to develop an AI-powered predictive decision framework, a cutting-edge approach designed to dramatically improve the success and reliability of coastal eelgrass restoration efforts.
