FW: IMPORTANT - HCM Information
by Turner, Jaime J 18 Dec '18

18 Dec '18

Hi Everyone, On January 1st, 2019, Purdue University will go-live with their third and final phase of the Transform Purdue initiative. This HCM (Human Capital Management) phase will rebuild the core human resources structure and upgrade from SAP to SuccessFactors which is an integrated, cloud-based core human capital management system. Some of the functions that will change are time keeping, requesting leaves, performance metrics and employee data changes. All of these functions will now be managed within SuccessFactors. To access SuccessFactors you will log in with you career ID and BoilerKey password at www.one.purdue.edu<http://www.one.purdue.edu> and then search for the tile called "Employee Launchpad." I strongly encourage all of you to visit the SuccessFactors<http://www.purdue.edu/successfactors> training page to become familiar with how you will manage these functions after January 1st. There are also several video tutorials on YouTube that can be found by searching "Purdue University Transform Purdue". PLEASE utilize these resources to ensure that you are well informed regarding these changes. The one task that may have the most immediate impact for everyone is time keeping. The Time Profile for all Birck employees (aside from a few student workers) will be some form of negative duration. This means that your hours paid is based on your planned working schedule and that you will only need to edit your time sheet when you have an exception (more than 40 hours in a week) to record. Those exceptions will be overtime, call back or the like. Any time off will be recorded through a time off request and that information will automatically flow to your time sheet. A video tutorial showing you how to edit your time sheet can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HviFYsepIOw. You can also find a video tutorial for requesting time off here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXa2wAz8M_w. Take some time to review these materials and let me know if you have any questions. Thank you. //////////////////////////////// Erica Cox Business Manager Birck Nanotechnology Center Purdue University P: (765) 494-1619 F: (765) 496-8299 [cid:image002.jpg@01D49615.201120A0]

Dr. Bernard Kippelen Seminar: TODAY at 11am in BRK 1001

Distinguished Birck Nanotechnology Center Seminar Series - Dr. Bernard Kippelen DECEMBER 3, 2018 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM BRK 1001 Organic Photonics and Electronics: the Endless Frontier Bio: Bernard Kippelen is the Joseph M. Pettit Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, located in Atlanta, GA, USA. His research interests range from the investigation of fundamental physical processes (nonlinear optical activity, charge transport, light harvesting and emission) in organic-based nanostructured thin films, to the design, fabrication and testing of light-weight flexible optoelectronic devices based on hybrid printable materials. He is a co-founder and co-President of the Institut Lafayette, an innovation platform located on Georgia Tech's European campus Georgia Tech Lorraine (Metz, France), and serves as Director of the Center for Organic Photonics and Electronics on the Georgia Tech campus in Atlanta. Abstract: We live in a world in flux with technology changing at a pace unprecedented in human history. Over the past decade, a powerful wave of innovation based on digital platforms and apps has arisen due to their wider dissemination in our hyper-connected world. In the next decade, "deep" technologies will play a major role in pushing further the technological frontier. Deep-tech innovations lie at the crossroads of massive shifts in demand led by megatrends (such as global climate change, demographic shifts, resource scarcity) and scientific progress (such as the fusion of the physical, digital and biological domains). Deep technologies are disruptive solutions built around unique, protected or hard-to-reproduce technological or scientific advances. In that next wave of innovation, advances in new materials and processing methods will continue to play a central role. In this talk, we will discuss how printable organic conjugated semiconducting molecules and polymers are creating new disruptive technologies that are impacting all industries. We will present recent advances in various solid-state device platforms including, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic photodetectors (OPDs), organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs), and organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs). We will emphasize the importance of interfaces in devices and show examples on how to engineer their electrical properties. We will present a simple processing technique for the electrical doping of organic semiconductors over a limited depth near the surface of the film that is based on immersing the film into a polyoxometalate solution [2]. Such approached can drastically reduce the fabrication cost of such devices, simplify device architecture, and lead to all-organic devices fabricated by all-additive printing techniques. As an illustration of the simplicity and versatility of this process we will discuss how high-performance organic solar cells with simplified architecture can be implemented. Finally, we will resent the results of a detailed operational lifetime study of OTFTs showing that organic photonics and electronics can yield a stability level superior to that of amorphous silicon [3].
