REMINDER: BNC Faculty Seminar, TODAY Thurs., 11/21 @ 12noon in BRK 2001. Presenter: Wenzhuo Wu Dear all, The next BNC Faculty Seminar is today Thursday, 11/21 @ 12pm (lunch provided) in BRK 2001 Presenter: Ravi and Eleanor Talwar Rising Star Assistant Professor of Industrial Engineering, Wenzhuo Wu. Wenzhuo Wu<https://engineering.purdue.edu/IE/people/ptProfile?resource_id=126298>, Ravi and Eleanor Talwar Rising Star Assistant Professor of Industrial Engineering will present an overview of his work on Hybrid nanomanufacturing of hierarchical wearables for smart user interface 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. Hybrid nanomanufacturing of hierarchical wearables for smart user interface Abstract: The seamless and adaptive interactions between functional devices and their environment (e.g., the human body) are critical for advancing emerging technologies, e.g., wearable devices, consumer electronics, and human-machine interface. The state-of-the-art technologies, however, require a complex integration of heterogeneous components to interface the environmental, mechanical stimulus, which is ubiquitous and abundant in the above applications. These limitations have severely hampered the advancement and broader utilization of related technologies. Moreover, all existing technologies require a power source, which complicates the system design and limits operation schemes. In this talk, I will discuss our recent progress in developing self-powered human-integrated nanodevices through the hybrid nanomanufacturing of multifunctional materials into heterostructured nanodevices. This new class of wearable devices are conformable to human skins and can sustainably perform self-powered, non-invasive functions, e.g., physiological monitoring and gesture recognition, by harvesting the operation power from the human body. Such an operation scheme is fundamentally hinged on the polarization induced current term in Maxwell’s displacement current. This research is expected to have a positive impact and immediate relevance to many societally pervasive areas, e.g., biomedical monitoring, consumer electronics, and robotics.

Thermoelectric Energy Conversion: Nov. 21 - 10 AM in PGSC
by Turner, Jaime J 15 Nov '19

15 Nov '19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thermoelectric Energy Conversion: Science and Engineering Challenges and Opportunities Arun Majumdar Stanford University Thursday, November 21, 2019 10:00 am • Purdue Graduate Student Center (PGSC) Followed by a fireside chat with Ali Shakouri Abstract: The last 20 years have witnessed intense research focus on the science and engineering of solid-state thermoelectric materials, with the goal of achieving high ZT (~ 2-3) over a large temperature range and thus enabling commercial technology for waste heat recovery and cooling. While the scientific research has to led many fundamental insights about how to engineer the behavior of electrons and phonons, the promise of high ZT and widely-used commercial technology remains largely unfulfilled.For waste heat recovery, this is partly because the performance targets have been raised due to competition from increasingly lower cost of solar and wind electricity. However, with the phasing out of today’s refrigerants due to the Kigali amendment of the Montreal Protocol, cooling offers an enormous opportunity if high ZT materials can be developed for room temperature operation, and system-level costs can be reduced and performance increased. The increase of ZT at room temperature requires new mechanisms and science to engineer the electronic and phononic structure and transport. This talk will provide a viewpoint of these new scientific opportunities and challenges in the context of practical performance and cost metrics. It will also offer new approaches to manipulate entropy change in liquid media for the purpose of energy conversion. Bio: Dr. Arun Majumdar is the Jay Precourt Provostial Chair Professor at Stanford, and a faculty member in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering. He is co-director of the Precourt Institute for Energy, which integrates and coordinates research and education activities across all seven Schools and the Hoover Institution. Dr. Majumdar's current research focuses on electrochemical and thermochemical redox reactions that are fundamental to a sustainable energy future, multidimensional nanoscale imaging and microscopy, and a new effort to re-engineer the electricity grid using data science, including deep learning techniques. He was the founding director of ARPA-E before which he was the Almy & Agnes Maynard Chair Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science & Engineering at UC–Berkeley. Dr. Majumdar is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

REMINDER: BNC Faculty Seminar TODAY, Thurs., 11/14 @ 12:30pm in BRK 2001. Presenter is Amy Marconnet ***Please note time change, presentation will start at 12:30pm**** Dear all, The next BNC Faculty Seminar will be this Thursday, 11/14 @ 12:30pm (lunch provided) in BRK 2001, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Amy Marconnet. ***Please note time change, presentation will start at 12:30pm**** Amy Marconnet<https://engineering.purdue.edu/MTEC>, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering will present an overview of her work on nanoengineering materials for thermal transport 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. Nanoengineering Materials for Thermal Transport Abstract: Nanostructuring materials allows independent control of multiple materials properties. High conductivity materials such as carbon nanotube forests are useful as thermal interface materials (TIMs) for dissipating power in electronic devices, while low conductivity materials like nanoporous silicon for thermal barrier coatings and enhanced thermoelectric performance. Beyond thermal transport, storage of thermal energy is critical for effective heat removal for applications involving highly-transient heat fluxes, and during material processing. Often to achieve the desired functionality, multiples materials are combined together to form heterogeneous composites. For example, in lithium ion batteries, the particulate active materials (with micro- and nano-scale features) are sandwiched between metal electrodes and polymer-based separators with microscale thicknesses to form macroscale battery cells. This seminar will discuss methods to understand and control thermal transport and development of accurate and reliable experimental and analytical techniques for thermal characterization across multiple length scales. Further, I will highlight the integration of material synthesis with thermal property measurements and physics-based analysis to provide new avenues for improved materials and device performance.

REMINDER: Benefits enrollment ends at 6pm ET on Tues., Nov. 12th
by Turner, Jaime J 11 Nov '19

11 Nov '19

Dear Faculty and Staff, A gentle reminder that 2020 benefit open enrollment ends at 6pm ET tomorrow, Tues., Nov. 12th. Also, employees who enrolled for 2020 benefits before Friday (Nov. 8) are asked to review their saved or printed benefit summary statement carefully, and perhaps log back into the system to review their statement. Human Resources was notified of an issue with the Benefitfocus tool, which affected some employees regarding their responses to the survey questions (tobacco usage and working spouse). Some employees' summary statements did not display the correct rate, even though the system recorded the correct amount. This issue has been fixed; however, all employees who enrolled before Friday should double check their statements to ensure what they chose is reflected correctly. To access Benefitfocus and the "Employee Summary Report," use the "Benefits Open Enrollment for Faculty & Staff" icon on the OneCampus portal. Click on the gold box on the right-hand side of the welcome page "To Enroll, Make a Change and View Your Benefits." The "Employee Summary Report" is located in the left side navigation (see image at right). Thank you!
