Purdue/Colombia Partnership: Invitation to Sept. 22 Lunch and Oct. 11-13 workshop
by David B. Janes 09 Sep '11

09 Sep '11

Nano Colleagues, As many of you are aware, Purdue has been developing an extensive partnership with universities in Colombia. To date, there are two key components: a) a fellowship program for Colombian students to pursue PhDs at Purdue, initially targeted at areas of nanotechnology and biotechnology. An internship program (for students at "beginning grad school" level may also be available in the near future). b) establishing research partnerships/collaborations with faculty at Colombian universities. Although Engineering has been the primary point of contact to date, these programs are not excluded to Engineering. In conjunction with these efforts, I wanted to invite you to participate in two upcoming events: 1) A lunch (Sept. 22) in which you can learn about the Colombian program, with particular focus on the fellowship program and an overview of research areas/opportunities. 2) a joint workshop with Colombian faculty and university officials (at Purdue, Oct. 11-13). We expect over 50 Colombian visitors from a number of top universities. Toward the goal of fostering collaborations, we would like to have Purdue faculty participate, including poster presentations to overview your group's work. Details are include in the attached word doc. Note that there is a RSVP form for each event -- please return these to Melissa Schwartz at your earliest convenience ( lanem(a)purdue.edu ). I will be following up with people individually -- please let me know if you would like more information. Thanks, Dave

14 Jun '11

Se'Andra from our mail/shipping dept has some celebrating to do. Her birthday (40th) will be on Saturday and she will be flying to Las Vegas to get married on July 9. Since none of us are attending the wedding and there are no showers we would like to surprise her this week on Thursday the 16th with cake and good wishes in RM 2001 at 9 AM. I will have a greeting card at the front desk on Wednesday 6/15 if you would like to sign it and/or make a contribution. Please forward this to anyone you believe may be interested in this good news. Thanks, Nancy

PhD Fellowship program with Colombia -- Nano Opportunities to Participate
by David B. Janes 18 May '11

18 May '11

Nano colleagues, As you are likely aware, Purdue has recently signed an agreement with Colombia which provides funding for PhD fellowships at Purdue. The initial targeted areas are "nanotechnology" and "biotechnology". Student from Colombia will be able to apply for the fellowships in the next few months, then apply for Fall 2012 admission to Purdue PhD programs . The fellowship program will be competitive within Colombia, and students will need to go through the usual application process at Purdue (and meet our usual standards for admission). The attached memo describes the fellowship program, as well as a "junior investigator" program. Note that it also describes some of the ways that we would like for you to be involved, should you choose to participate. The areas of involvement reflect the mutual desire to develop a sustainable program that benefits both Purdue and Colombia in the long term. In the short term, we would like to establish research partnerships with faculty in Colombia. In the longer term, the desire is to have opportunities for Colombian students to return to Colombia after their PhD, either in academia or corporate R&D labs. At this point, we are asking interested faculty to provide a profile for the web page (contact info and brief description of research interests). The profiles will be a means for Colombian students to identify appropriate faculty, and to contact the faculty in order to define a research proposal (to include in fellowship application). This will be a first step in defining the important advisor/student relationship. We were part of the Purdue team that visited top universities in Colombia in March, and have agreed to serve as points of contact for the nano effort. We met many faculty who are performing high quality research, in many cases without ready access to state-of-the-art equipment. We can provide context and feedback regarding the quality of various universities. Please contact us if you have any questions. Thank you, David Janes and Monica Allain

M. Keck Foundation is now accepting applications for the Science & Engineering Research Program. This program seeks to support high-risk/high-impact projects that are distinctive and novel in their approach to intractable problems, push the edge of their field, or question the prevailing paradigm. Eligible projects fall outside the mission of public funding agencies. Grants range from $500,000 to $5 million. More information is available at: http://www.wmkeck.org/grant-programs/science-engineering.html. > > For this opportunity, Purdue may submit one application for Phase I consideration. The applicant must be endorsed by a letter from the President and will work with the University Development Office to coordinate the submission. Full proposals are accepted in Phase II by invitation only. > > Internal deadlines are as follows: > > Monday, June 6: Letters of intent due to the OVPR > > Monday, June 27: Pre-proposals due to the OVPR. > > > NOTE: Keck offers these programs twice a year with the review process for the previous round overlapping the opening round of each subsequent competition. In the past, Keck has decided to pull an application from the previous round forward into the next round – making Purdue ineligible to submit. In this event, any internally selected candidate will automatically become Purdue’s selection for the subsequent round, provided he or she still meets all of Keck’s eligibility requirements. > > > Please note: Letters of intent and pre-proposals to the OVPR should be e-mailed to OVPRlimited(a)purdue.edu.

For any case in which the number of internal letters of intent received is no more than the number of proposals allowed by the sponsor, the OVPR will notify the PI that an internal preproposal will be unnecessary. > > > Please let me know if you have questions about the limited submission process or this competition. > > Best wishes, > Sue > > ________________________________ > Sue Grimes > Assistant Director of Research Development Services > Office of the Vice President for Research > Hovde Hall, Room 321 > 610 Purdue Mall > West Lafayette, IN 47907-2040 > (765) 494-5858

Seminar at Birck today for Boris Luk'yanchuk in Rm 2001 @ 1:30PM
by Black, Nancy Lee 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Boris Luk'yanchuk Senior Scientist and Division Manager at Data Storage Institute, Singapore Bio: Here we are discussing the magnification effect of the transparent spherical particle. It is well known that transparent spherical particle can work as a focusing lens in the near field. For example, for transparent particle with refractive index n < 2 it was shown experimentally that it is possible to localize light up to scale beyond 50-100 nm in agreement with calculations by the Mie theory. Especially great localization can be obtained for particles with n > 2 (photon jet). Thus, we believe that according to reciprocity principle one can expect high resolution of the spherical lens in the near-field. It is possible to find exact relation between lens magnification M and field enhancement I/I0 under the approximation of geometrical optics, . This function with a high accuracy can be approximated by power-like law . We also are discussing the virtual image construction applying the reciprocity principle and virtual prolongation of the Poynting vector lines. Both methods show that it is possible to reach magnification of the virtual image 4-8 times which is sufficient to resolve nano structures with dimension of 50-100 nm in white light. Abstract: Prof. Dr. Boris Luk`yanchuk graduated from the Moscow State University in 1967, PhD (1979) from the P. N. Lebedev Physical Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences and Doctor of Sciences (1991) - from the General Physics Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences. State Professor's degree since 1992. He was working as Senior Scientist and a Head of the Laboratory at the General Physics Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences till 1999. He was also working abroad as invited Professor in Austria, Italy, France, Sweden, Japan and Australia. Since 1999 he is working as a Senior Scientist and a Division Manager of Advanced Concepts Group at the Data Storage Institute, Agency for Science, Technology and Research, Singapore. He published 5 monographs and above 300 papers. He is a Honorary Professor at Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria and a Fellow of the Optical Society of America. Fields of his interest are related to laser matter interactions. Host: Vladimir Shalaev, shalaev(a)purdue.edu, 494-9855
