In this presentation, Dr. Panigrahi will present selected key technologies and inventions (sensors and intelligent systems) developed by his group for different applications in this "Farm to Fork" value chain". The experience and importance of systems-based, solution-oriented approach while working in cross-disciplinary team will be presented. His current research thrusts to address the global challenges associated with biological domain with convergence and innovation framework will be also be presented. Opportunities for synergistic research and academic collaborations will be discussed. Bio: Dr. Suranjan Panigrahi is a professor in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology at Purdue University, USA. He has 29 years of comprehensive experience in research, teaching and outreach and administration. He has cross-disciplinary training and expertise in engineering, biological systems, sensors, electronics, intelligent information technologies, and management science. His research focuses on intelligent sensors, informatics, smart systems, intelligent model and devices for biological, safety and healthcare systems. As an innovator and inventor of multiple technologies, his group adopts interdisciplinary systems-based approach in creating solutions. He was the founder/director of an interdisciplinary research center "Bio-imaging and Sensing center" at North Dakota State University (USA) for 9 years. He has successfully mentored undergraduate and graduate students along with post-docs and visiting professors in different research projects.

Reminder: BNC Faculty Seminar TODAY @ 12:00noon. [cid:image001.jpg@01D72C53.95955AE0] The BNC Faculty Seminar Series is designed to provide faculty a platform to present an overview of their research and the opportunity for collaborative discussion with other BNC faculty and researchers across six colleges and 15 academic units. Ajay P. Malshe R. Eugene and Susie E. Goodson Distinguished Professor of Mechanical Engineering April 8th, 2021 | 12:00pm Join Zoom: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/91754078808 Title: Convergent-manufacturing of Agriculture and Food for Equity (iCAFE) Theme of the Webinar: Transformative innovations in agriculture and food for human health, equity, and competitiveness. Abstract: Late 20th and early 21st centuries have experienced major disruptions in multiple industry sectors including autonomous vehicles, electric vehicles, telemedicine, wireless technologies, colonization of space, and more powered by human ambition and the Industry-4.0 revolution. This coincides with major societal shifts including major growth of population in and the number of urban areas, extended human life expectancy, serious population growth projected to reach 9.2 B in 2040 reaching the theoretical carrying capacity of the earth [1], food/housing/healthcare insecurity at the foundation of Maslow pyramid, climate change, depletion of natural resources, and more. This is further exasperated as the society is going through the COVID19 pandemic and experiencing another pandemic of nutritious food insecurity in rural and urban Indiana and America at large for various reasons for availability, affordability, and accessibility. These conflicting trends and emergencies call-for-action to discuss the need for considering transformative approaches and technologies in agriculture and food design, materials, manufacturing, and more for bridging the gap of basic human need, nutritious food across various communities. This is a convergent techno-socio-economic problem [2-3]. To meet this call-to-action, iCAFE talk will discuss issues at the intersection of agriculture and food techo-socio-economic equity and equality to facilitate dialogue as a part of the responsibility to the fellow citizens of communities in Indiana and beyond. Bio: Ajay P. Malshe is currently R. Eugene and Susie E. Goodson Distinguished Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University. Before joining the Purdue faculty, he served as a Distinguished Professor and 21st Century Endowed Chair Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Arkansas. He has gained a national and international reputation in advanced manufacturing, bio-inspired designing, multifunctional material surface engineering, and system integration and productization. Malshe has received numerous prestigious international honors, including fellowships to the American Society of Mechanical Engineering (ASME), American Society of Materials (ASM), International Academy of Production Engineering (CIRP), and the Institute of Physics (InstP). In 2018, he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) "for innovations in nanomanufacturing with impact in multiple industry sectors." Malshe has trained more than 60 graduate and post-doctoral students, educated more than 1200 undergraduate students and mentored younger engineers in academia and business; published over 200 peer-reviewed papers and received over 20 patents resulting in numerous award-winning engineered products applied by leading corporations in energy, aerospace, transportation and EV, high-performance racing and other industrial sectors; and delivered over 100 keynote and invited presentations. He is also a founder and experienced business entrepreneur. References: [1] Date sources: Up to 2015 OurWorldInData series based on UN and HYDE. Projections for 2015 to 2100: On Population.

REMINDER: BNC Faculty Seminar Series: Speaker - Alex Chortos - TODAY, April 1st | 12noon | via Zoom

Reminder: BNC Faculty Seminar TODAY @ 12:00noon. [cid:image001.jpg@01D726D4.E745EA00] The BNC Faculty Seminar Series is designed to provide faculty a platform to present an overview of their research and the opportunity for collaborative discussion with other BNC faculty and researchers across six colleges and 15 academic units. Alex Chortos Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering April 1st, 2021 | 12:00pm Join Zoom: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/91754078808 Title: Printing soft materials for bio-inspired electronics Abstract: Traditional electronic devices are flat and rigid, while biological systems are soft and 3-dimensional. Integrating technology with biology will be enabled by the use of 3D printing to create soft biointerfaces with future applications in systems that replace the function of body parts (prosthetics) or augment biology (eg. haptics). The first part of this talk will introduce my postdoctoral work on 3D printed soft electrostatic actuators. Soft electrostatic actuators can achieve large strains, but have traditionally been limited to planar formats. 3D printing provides the ability to achieve scalable fabrication of versatile 3D designs, but challenges remain to realize their full potential. The second part of this talk will describe my PhD work on bio-inspired sensor networks. 3D printing has the potential to provide important enabling capabilities in integrating sensors with actuation. Bio: Alex Chortos started as an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue in 2020. He earned his undergrad degree in Nanotechnology Engineering from the University of Waterloo in 2011. He completed his PhD at Stanford working with Zhenan Bao in 2017 working on stretchable electronics. He subsequently took a postdoctoral position at Harvard working with Jennifer Lewis on 3D printed soft actuators. Alex has published 28 papers on the topic of soft electronics for wearable and prosthetic devices.
