Happy Holidays and Winter Recess
by Abrol, Sangeeta Saddul 16 Dec '22

16 Dec '22

Dear Birck Community, We were excited to see many students, researchers, faculty, and staff joined our holiday celebration yesterday! Santa and Elf announced the winners of the Best Decorated Office/Desk Space and brought all the laughter and joy. And it’s amazing to see how science and arts can be creatively combined by the winners of the Image Contest! With the generous support from the Birck faculty, we had a fun fortune wheel spinning game for the staff and some students, which added another highlight to the celebration! Hope everyone enjoys the holidays and comes back refreshed and refired! If you decide to use the break to get some work done, please keep in mind that Birck will be operating in the Winter Recess mode, which means it will remain available for research but will be unstaffed and hazardous gasses will be unavailable between Dec. 23rd and Jan. 3. Details can be found on the BNC Wiki. Warmest wishes for a happy holiday season and a wonderful New Year!

Invite - Purdue 75th Anniversary of the Transistor
by Abrol, Sangeeta Saddul 14 Dec '22

14 Dec '22

Dear All – Here is an event on December 16, 2022 that might be of interest to you all. [Purdue University] 75th Anniversary of the Invention of the Transistor Friday, December 16, 2022 Program Remarks 3:30 PM Burton D. Morgan Center for Entrepreneurship [Banner] The Colleges of Engineering and Science invite you to celebrate Purdue's role in one of the greatest inventions of the 20th Century. The transistor was invented at Bell Labs on Dec. 16, 1947. Transistors are the basic building blocks for virtually all electronic systems. The transistor has been called one of the most important inventions because transistor electronics, especially the billions of transistors on leading edge silicon chips, transformed life in the 20th century and will have even more impact in the 21st century. Purdue University played an important role in the early history of semiconductor fabrication and physics leading to the invention of the transistor. This event celebrates Purdue’s semiconductor history as we look forward to an exciting new era of semiconductor electronics. To RSVP, please follow https://tinyurl.com/4f8a4r9z<https://maillinks.purdue.edu/t/44077237/1487136285/94012604/0/120588/?x=b9b…> Program remarks can also be viewed virtually at http://www.kaltura.com/tiny/04epc<https://maillinks.purdue.edu/t/44077237/1487136285/94012603/0/120588/?x=53b…> Additional Event details, https://tinyurl.com/transistorcelebration We look forward to celebrating with you.

Make your resume stand out with the premier sustainability designation called the LEED Green Associate! LEED is simply a sustainability scorecard for green buildings. As buildings can become LEED Certified, people can become LEED accredited! The best way to break into the sustainability space is to attain the LEED Green Associate. It also shows employers and clients you have certified knowledge in the field. Since the LEED GA exam doesn’t have a stellar pass rate, the value of the extra letters behind your name will carry even more weight. Our engaging webinars have helped over 10K students and professionals learn the material cold AND clear the exam with a very high passing rate. The LEED Professional Designation has helped past participants attain internships and jobs and now is a great time to add this credential.

Rebooting Birck NanoDays event: brainstorming session
by Abrol, Sangeeta Saddul 30 Nov '22

30 Nov '22

Sent on behalf of Neil Dilley Dear Birck community, After 4 years of hiatus, our NanoDays event - our largest outreach event with typically 1000+ visitors - is back this April! In addition to the activity kits, we get our each year, I am asking you all for new ideas to excite the kids and adults who will attend this 2.5 day event. Some starting thoughts: 1. NSAC activity: mock clean room in BRK 1001? 2. Research groups present at tables: please email Neil Dilley @ ndilley(a)purdue.edu<mailto:ndilley@purdue.edu> if you would like to have a table. 3. New displays in the atrium: decals on the floor or balloon models showing atoms in structures like tunnel junctions, FETs, plasmonic structures... this is my starting point, please come brainstorm! We will meet with coffee and snacks in: BRK 1001 Thursday, Dec. 1, 3:45-4:15 (can go longer if the ideas are flowing!) Thanks, Neil R. Dilley, Ph.D. Research Scientist Birck Nanotechnology Center , Rm 1010 1205 West State St. West Lafayette, IN 47907-2057 765-496-6080
