[cid:image002.jpg@01D58822.5E0A5A20] Opportunities, limitations and challenges to the broad commercialization of Thermoelectric technology Lon Bell CEO Ideal Power Inc. and Co-founder Gentherm and CALSTART Thursday, October 24, 2019 11:00am in MRGN 121 Abstract: Thermoelectric systems hold the promise of solid state heating, cooling an electric power generation without any greenhouse gas emissions or mechanical moving parts. Despite these very attractive features the technology has not been broadly adopted. This talk explores the state of thermoelectrics in light of materials and systems currently available, material properties, design and usage criteria and concludes with prospects for future broader commercialization. Bio: Currently, Dr. Bell is engaged with several emerging, technology driven companies that are characterized by the potential to have global economic impact, address long term societal needs and create strong IP positions. Bell is also a Chair of the External Advisory Board for the California Institute of Technology's Department of Mechanical and Civil Engineering. Bell founded Amerigon in 1991 (now Gentherm, NASDAQ: THRM). Gentherm is a $1B global leader in supplying high quality thermal management products to the automotive and commercial markets. Gentherm's automotive products include climate seats that provide both heating and cooling, EV battery thermal management systems, heated steering wheels, and heated and cooled storage bins. In 1991, Bell was a cofounder of CALSTART and its first president. CALSTART is a California based non-profit member-supported organization of more than 140 firms, fleets and agencies dedicated to supporting a growing high-tech, clean transportation industry with goals to help clean the air, create jobs, cut imported oil and reduce global warming emissions. As a founder and its first president, Bell led CALSTART's formation and initiated the process of transferring green aerospace technologies into the transportation sector. Bell served as a member of the Scientific Advisory Board at Michigan State University's Energy Frontier Research Center, a multi-university consortium conducting fundamental research in solid state energy conversion technologies. He served in a similar role for the University of California at Santa Barbara's Institute for Energy Efficiency. He has authored more than 40 publications in the areas of thermodynamics of thermoelectric systems, automotive crash sensors, and other electronic and electromechanical devices. He has been granted over 100 patents for his inventions. Five clusters of Bell's inventions have gone into mass production and dominated their target markets, generating over two billion US Dollars in sales. Bell received a bachelor's degree in Mathematics in 1962, a Master's degree in Rocket Propulsion in 1963, and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in 1968, all from the California Institute of Technology.

REMINDER: BNC Faculty Seminar Today, 10/17 @ 12:00pm (Lunch Provided) in BRK 2001 – Presenter is Prof. Tongcang Li Dear all, The next BNC Faculty Seminar will be tomorrow Thursday, 10/17 @ 12pm (lunch provided) in BRK 2001. Professor Tongcang Li will be our first presenter for the Fall Semester Series. Tongcang Li<http://www.physics.purdue.edu/people/faculty/tcli.php>, Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy and Electrical and Computer Engineering will present a brief overview of his work on precision measurements and quantum sensing for the first half then the remainder will be open for questions and high-level discussion of collaboration opportunities that can lead to future center of excellence and/or also brainstorm about a shared vision for Birck. Precision measurements and quantum sensing with optomechanical systems and quantum emitters I will give a brief overview of our works on precision measurements and quantum sensing. In 2018, we optically levitated a nanodumbbell and drove it to rotate beyond 60 billion revolutions per minute, which was the fastest nanorotor in the world. This work was selected as one of the APS Physics top 10 “Highlights of the Year” of 2018 by the American Physical Society. With an optically levitated nanoparticle, we developed the world’s most sensitive torque detector and measured a torque as small as 10-27 Nm, which is several orders of magnitudes smaller than the former world record. Besides, we have built a dual-cantilever atomic force microscope (AFM) in vacuum and measured the Casimir force. We also used diamond nitrogen-vacancy centers for quantum sensing of magnetic field, temperature, and beyond. We have collaborated with colleagues in biomedical engineering and developed the axial plane single-molecule super-resolution microscopy.

FW: Distinguished Seminar by Sayeef Salahuddin of UC Berkeley
by Turner, Jaime J 14 Oct '19

14 Oct '19

---------- Forwarded message --------- Date: 10:30 AM, Thursday, October 17, 2019 Location: WANG Hall Room 1004 Distinguished Seminar Negative Capacitance Professor Sayeef Salahuddin University of California, Berkeley The physics of ordered and correlated systems allows for fundamental improvement of energy consumption, going beyond what is possible with conventional materials. One such example is the class of materials with polar distortion such as a (anti)ferroelectric, where thermodynamics dictate that charge can be switched with much lower energy compared to conventional dielectrics. In these materials the internal order leads to a state of negative capacitance, which results in a boost of internal electric fields and charge. This boost could be exploited for reducing energy dissipation in electronics. In this talk, I shall discuss our current understanding of negative capacitance derived from experimental demonstration of steady state negative capacitance, which allows one to access an otherwise forbidden part of the energy landscape in ferroelectric materials. We shall further discuss the integration of negative capacitance into advanced transistors, and its potential impact on next generation computing hardware. S. Salahuddin is the TSMC Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California Berkeley. His work has focused mostly on conceptualization and exploration of novel device physics for low power electronic and spintronic devices. Salahuddin has received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientist and Engineers (PECASE). Salahuddin also received a number of other awards including the NSF CAREER award, the IEEE Nanotechnology Early Career Award, the Young Investigator Awards from (AFOSR) and (ARO), and the IEEE George E Smith Award. Salahuddin is a co-director of the Berkeley Device Modeling Center (BDMC) and Berkeley Center for Negative Capacitance Transistors (BCNCT). Salahuddin is also a co-director of ASCENT, one of the six centers of the JUMP initiative sponsored by SRC/DARPA. He served on the editorial board of IEEE Electron Devices Letters (2013-16) and was the chair the IEEE Electron Devices Society committee on Nanotechnology (2014-16). Salahuddin is a Fellow of the IEEE and the APS.

FW: Discovery Park District Vision Presentation and Q&A Session
by Shakouri, Ali 04 Oct '19

04 Oct '19

Dear Colleagues, I encourage you to attend one of the Discovery Park District presentations next week (see below). Major development at the DP District provides a unique opportunity for Birck Center. This could range from housing startups by our faculty/students to partnerships with companies that will have presence in DPD. This could be an opportunity for us to bring outside users to our core facility as well as research collaborations. PRF has plans to develop a learning living lab (smart city features, smart buildings/roads, 5G connectivity, etc.). There may be opportunities to use some of these in undergraduate and graduate classes (e.g. for virtual labs, demonstrations). Please let me know if you have ideas or suggestions to maximize synergy between Birck Center with the DP District. Thanks, Ali From: Muncy, Lisa A. <lamuncy(a)purdue.edu> On Behalf Of Wojtalewicz, Clifford J.

The intent for this time together is to communicate how the physical facilities of the District will seek to work with Purdue's researchers, interdisciplinary research centers and institutes of Discovery Park, and all affiliated research centers. Completed, and done well, Purdue will have over 400 acres where researchers and talent converge with industry, investors, entrepreneurs, and government to build a better world. Two separate sessions will be offered to accommodate everyone's schedules with each session covering the same information. These session are planned for: * Tuesday, October 8th, from 3-4pm in MRGN 121 * Wednesday, October 9th, from 3-4pm in MRGN 121 Thank you, Cliff Wojtalewicz Director of Operations and Administration Discovery Park Purdue University 765.496.3961 (Office) cliffw(a)purdue.edu<mailto:cliffw@purdue.edu> [https://www.purdue.edu/brand/images/Purdue_University-150_Years_of_Giant_Le…] www.purdue.edu/giantleaps<http://www.purdue.edu/giantleaps>
