BNC Faculty Seminar Series: Speaker - Ajay P. Malshe - April 8th | 12noon | via Zoom
by Turner, Jaime J 05 Apr '21

05 Apr '21

[cid:image004.jpg@01D685C0.EB336F80] 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.

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.

25 Mar '21

Reminder: BNC Faculty Seminar TODAY @ 12:00noon. [cid:image001.jpg@01D72151.775F97A0] 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. Tyler N. Tallman Assistant Professor, School of Aeronautics and Astronautics March 25th, 2021 | 12:00pm Join Zoom: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/91754078808 Title: Research and applications at the intersection of multi-functional materials, non-invasive imaging, and inverse methods Abstract: In this talk, I will summarize the work being done by my research group. Broadly speaking, our work exists at the intersection of three areas - multi-functional materials, non-invasive imaging, and inverse methods. More specifically, we focus on nanofiller-enabled electrical properties in polymeric composites and how these properties can be utilized for intrinsic self-sensing and/or active property modulation via thermo-mechanical loading. The intersection of these areas has potential for application to diverse areas such as structural health monitoring (SHM) and nondestructive evaluation (NDE), novel sensing technology including additively manufactured (AM) sensors, bio-medical implants and technology, and next-generation materials with in-operation property reconfigurability. In the first part of this talk, I will discuss the material systems with which we are working and our efforts to model their multiphysical properties across length scales. Next, I will discuss how we combine these multi-functional materials with electrical property imaging modalities for spatially distributed sensing. And lastly, I will summarize our work in inverse methods - the process of inverting stimulus-property relations in these materials in order to ascertain properties of interest (e.g. strains, stresses, damages, etc.) from electrical observations. Applications such as structural engineering, artificial skins, and medicine will be integrated throughout the talk. Bio: Tyler Tallman is an Assistant Professor in the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue University. He joined Purdue in 2015. Prior to this, Tyler earned a PhD and MS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan in 2015 and 2012, respectively. He also earned a BS in Physics and Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire and a BS in Engineering Mechanics from the University of Wisconsin - Madison both in 2010. To date, Tyler has published 28 journal articles (+7 currently under review) and 31 conference proceedings in the areas of multi-functional materials, distributed sensing, inverse methods, and nanocomposites. This work has also resulted in one patent. His technical work has been recognized with three best journal paper awards from the ASME, and his commitment to students has been recognized with multiple teaching awards. Tyler is active in his technical community by serving on the Program Committee for the SPIE Smart Structures/NDE Conference, on the ASME Adaptive Structures and Material Systems (ASMS) Branch, and as the Secretary for the ASME ASMS Structural Health Monitoring Technical Committee.
