Dear Colleagues, You may have seen the recent announcement for the NSF Science and Technology Centers (see blow; internal deadline for Purdue selection is September 3rd). If you are considering to lead a center or if you want to start small group discussions for a potential STC topic, please let me know if there is anything we could do to help. FYI, below you can see the list of the active NSF STC centers. Best regards, Ali From: Engfaculty-list [mailto:engfaculty-list-bounces@ecn.purdue.edu] On Behalf Of Young, Donna S Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2014 8:56 AM To: 'engfaculty-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu' (engfaculty-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu<mailto:engfaculty-list@ecn.purdue.edu>) Subject: Limited Submission: NSF Science and Technology Centers: Integrative Partnerships (STC) This email is being sent on behalf of Sue Grimes Dear Faculty Members: NSF has released a new solicitation for the Science and Technology Centers: Integrative Partnerships program. This program supports innovative, potentially transformative, complex research and education projects that require large-scale, long-term awards. STCs conduct world-class research through partnerships among academic institutions, national laboratories, industrial organizations, and/or other public/private entities, and via international collaborations, as appropriate. STCs may involve any areas of science and engineering that NSF supports. Centers must undertake activities that facilitate knowledge transfer, i.e., the exchange of scientific and technical information with the objective of disseminating and utilizing knowledge broadly in multiple sectors. Examples of knowledge transfer include technology transfer with the intention of supporting innovation, providing key information to public policy makers, or dissemination of knowledge from one field of science to another. More information is available at: http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2014/nsf14600/nsf14600.htm. For this opportunity, Purdue may submit three proposals as lead. Internal deadlines are as follows: Wednesday, September 3: Pre-proposals due to the EVPRP (see attached template) Agency deadlines: December 11 - Preliminary proposals; June 16 - Full proposals (by invite). Please note: Pre-proposals to the EVPRP should be e-mailed to EVPRPlimited(a)purdue.edu<mailto:EVPRPlimited@purdue.edu>. Purdue's limited submission policy and templates for preproposals may be found at http://www.purdue.edu/research/vpr/rschdev/lsid1.php. Please let me know if you have questions about the limited submission process or this competition.

Request for feedback on potential new office assignments for graduate students and postdocs
by Peroulis, Dimitrios 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

Dear all, In our continuing effort to keep improving the user experience and productivity at BNC we were thinking of revising our current nearly-random grad student/postdoc office assignment to a more theme-based assignment. The current process has been in place since the beginning of BNC in 2005. At that time it was an effective way to encourage cross-disciplinary collaborations. More than 8 years later we may need to revise this based on our current research interests and needs. For example, we have heard from many researchers that they would like to be collocated with other researchers from different academic units that share similar interests. This is one of the main Discovery Park ideas as well. Most of us benefit greatly from theme-based cross-disciplinary collaborations and we believe that graduate students and postdocs would share the same experience. In addition, we would like to foster strong collaborations between theoreticians/modelers and experimentalists. For example, some of the nano-themes that these communities could benefit one another could be (alphabetically) bio-sensors, electronics, energy transport, photonics, photovoltaics, just to name a few. We would appreciate if you could please give some thought to this and provide some feedback. We would also be very happy to discuss this in a BNC faculty meeting in July should we receive such feedback. We would like to be ready to either make changes or keep things the same before the new semester starts in August. Thanks Dimitri ________________________________________________________________________________ Dimitrios Peroulis Professor, School of Electrical and Computer Engineering Deputy Director, Birck Nanotechnology Center Purdue University 1205 West State Street West Lafayette, IN 47907-2057 tel: (765) 494-3491, fax: (765) 494-4731 email: dperouli(a)purdue.edu<mailto:dperouli@purdue.edu> http://sites.google.com/site/peroulisteam/ ________________________________________________________________________________

Nanodays Volunteers
by Shakouri, Ali 03 Apr '14

03 Apr '14

Dear Colleagues, NanoDays 2014 will be held next Thursday and Friday, April 10th and 11th from 9am to 1pm. We still need student volunteers. Could you please encourage your students to volunteer a few hours of their time for this program? Please remind your students this is a great opportunity to add outreach and volunteer efforts to their resumes. This can also help with the outreach of our federal proposals. We are looking for graduate students to sit at pre-made activity tables and help the students go over the hands on activities and explain the nano concepts behind the activity. These activities are simple so they don't need lengthy training. Please have your students see Jaime in BRK 1027 or email her at jjturner(a)purdue.edu<mailto:jjturner@purdue.edu> to sign up for a time. I appreciate very much in advance your kind support. Best regards, Ali
