MANDELA WASHINGTON FELLOWSHIP Purdue University will host 25 of Africa's brightest emerging leaders for an academic and leadership institute focused on business and entrepreneurship from June 17 to July 29, 2016. The Mandela Washington Fellowship, the flagship program of President Obama's Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI), empowers young African leaders through academic coursework, leadership training, mentoring, networking, professional opportunities, and support for activities in their communities. Purdue's Mandela Washington Fellows represent 18 countries across Sub-Saharan Africa. They are CEOs, entrepreneurs, engineers, farmers, and business people representing the fields of agribusiness, engineering, and information technology. Fellows have indicated specific interests in post-harvest losses, food processing, biotechnology, livestock production, agricultural mechanization, energy issues, and STEM education. The cohort of Fellows at Purdue will be part of a larger group of 1,000 Mandela Washington Fellows hosted across the US this summer. VOLUNTEER We are seeking volunteers to help provide facilitation, hospitality, and assist with logistics during the fellows stay at Purdue. We will work with you to find opportunities that fit your interests and availability. https://purdue.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_bJl0XTrhru7SkQZ GET INVOLVED If you are interested in serving as a volunteer or exploring other ways in which you might engage with Purdue's Mandela Washington Fellowship, please visit http://www.purdue.edu/mandela-fellowship/get-involved/ or contact mwf(a)purdue.edu<mailto:mwf@purdue.edu> Thank you, Nicole Kingma Engagement Coordinator Administrative Director, Mandela Washington Fellowship Burton D.

Science on Tap is this Thursday! "MagicTM Tape, Real Science" -Dr. Babak Ziaie, School of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering
by Anthrop, Heather L 23 May '16

23 May '16

Hi all, Science on Tap is this Thursday! We will be hosting Dr. Babak Ziaie, a professor from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue, to give a talk on "MagicTM Tape, Real Science". I hope you can join us for this exciting talk! Food will be provided at the event. When and Where: Thursday, May 26th at 6PM, upstairs at the Lafayette Brewing Company. Abstract: Our everyday surrounding materials, if looked at with more than a cursory manner, offer a unique opportunity to delve deeper into some extraordinary scientist phenomena. We take many of these “ordinary stuff” for granted, but they can be magical and a source of endless fascination, if one starts tinkering with them. One such “stuff” is MagicTM Tape used to wrap Christmas and birthday presents. Over the past few years, we have done some kitchen-top experiments with MagicTM Tape and have discovered some intriguing properties that can be used to make inexpensive sensors and tiny robots. Hope to see you there! All the best, The Science on Tap team --- Upcoming events: June 2nd: Dr. John Paderi and Dr. Kate Stuart, "Purdue to Symic: We took the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference" -- Science on Tap, Lafayette, IN www.facebook.com/scienceontaplafayette<http://www.facebook.com/scienceontaplafayette>

Vibration Events Extended
by Weaver, John R 20 May '16

20 May '16

All BNC Users: We have just been notified by Pepper Construction that the vibration-causing work that they have been doing has been extended for two more days, Monday May 23 and Tuesday, May 24. Although we were told yesterday that the work would be complete today, they have now notified us of the time extension. The amount of vibration transferred to the building during these activities is substantial, so please plan your research accordingly. Any vibration-sensitive research should be performed outside of these hours. Vibration-causing activities, Flex-Lab Construction: Friday, May 20, 7:00 am - 3:30 pm Monday, May 23, 7:00 am - 3:30 pm Tuesday, May 24, 7:00 am - 3:30 pm Thank you for your patience and understanding regarding this Purdue Physical Facilities and Pepper Construction project.

Seminar today 9:30-10:30, Birck 1001, Greg Whiting, PARC
by Shakouri, Ali 18 May '16

18 May '16

FYI Printed, Flexible and Transient Electronics for Distributed Systems Greg Whiting PARC Wednesday May 18, 2016 9:30-10:30am Birck Nanotechnology Center Room 1001 Abstract: Unconventional electronic devices that are mechanically flexible, manufactured using printing techniques, or controllably transient can expand the distribution of functionality into spaces difficult to access with conventional componentry. The use of print-like techniques for the manufacture of electronics provides for a number of benefits including large-area coverage, deposition of an extensive set of materials, mass customization, facile integration of dissimilar materials with a variety of substrates, allows for systems with low mass and mechanical flexibility and potentially enables a more inclusive, distributed manufacturing model. This presentation will cover three approaches for printing electronics. 1) Fabricating devices entirely from solution-based materials, thereby maximizing the available design space and simplifying fabrication, but limiting performance and addressable applications due to materials properties, resolution of typical printing techniques, and process variability. 2) Integration of printed devices with pre-fabricated microelectronic components on flexible substrates, enabling more complex functionality such as RF communication and complex signal processing, but requiring more cumbersome assembly processes than with printing alone. 3) A digital electrostatic fluidic microassembly technique, capable of positional and orientational control of small objects including microelectronic devices, as an approach to bridge the length-scale gap between photolithography and common print techniques. By developing a wide set of printed components, including circuits, power sources, sensors, and others, complete stand-alone systems can be demonstrated for distributed sensing applications such as structural, health and environmental monitoring. For some distributed systems physical transience is a potentially useful function. This presentation will also describe an approach for achieving controllably transient electronic systems based on the use of a stress-engineered glass substrate, that rapidly disintegrates when triggered, fragmenting and dispersing the substrate and any thin electronic components processed onto it. Bio: Greg joined the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) in 2008 where he currently manages the Novel Electronics Group. He is interested in materials and processes for unconventional electronic systems - such as those that may be mechanically flexible and conformable, large area, widely distributed, controllably transient or manufactured using printing techniques, in order to address applications in areas including distributed sensing, wearable electronics, environmental monitoring, data security, and additive manufacturing. Prior to joining PARC he worked for Cambridge Display Technology, studying organic field-effect transistors, polymer/polymer blend photovoltaics, and polymer light-emitting diodes. Greg received a Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge in 2007 where his research focused principally on solar cells and field-effect transistors formed using surface-initiated polymer films. He received a B.S. degree from the University of California, Berkeley in 2002 where he studied solution processed polymer/nanoparticle solar cells. Greg has co-authored over 20 peer reviewed journal articles, holds 16 US patents, and his research has been covered by various media outlets including the New York Times, and IEEE Spectrum. He is an active member of a number of societies including the MRS and is an executive committee member of the AVS. His awards include a Flexi award from the FlexTech Alliance, a top performer award from DARPA, and he was recently nominated to attend the National Academy of Engineering Frontiers of Engineering Symposium.
