Today's Coffee Hour in Birck Atrium
by Aveek Dutta 27 Jan '17

27 Jan '17

Dear all, We are resuming our coffee hour sessions from today. Please join us in the Birck Atrium at 3:30pm. Today's presentation details: Presenter: Enas Sakr Title: Spectral and angular-selective thermal emission from gallium-doped zinc oxide thin film structures Abstract: Constraining thermal emission to targeted directions and optical wavelengths can potentially improve a broad range of applications, including lighting and thermophotovoltaics. In this work, we demonstrate both types of control using a gallium-doped zinc oxide thin film, a high contrast grating and an omnidirectional dielectric mirror. A factor of 20 improvement in performance for a thermophotovoltaic application can be achieved over a typical blackbody emitter by combining a 43% increase in view factor and a 14x enhancement in frequency selectivity, assuming a Si PV converter five widths away from the same width emitter in 2D at 1573 K. Regards, Aveek Dutta Graduate Research Assistant Birck Nanotechnology Center Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Purdue University

Writing a Publishable Paper workshop in Discovery Park this semester
by Anthrop, Heather L 25 Jan '17

25 Jan '17

I am offering a section of the Writing a Publishable Paper workshop in MJIS 2001 on Tuesdays from noon to 1:00 p.m. this semester, beginning on January 31. The following is a description of the workshop content: This 11-session-long workshop is designed to guide advanced Ph.D. students through the process of writing a journal or conference paper based on their individual research. At the conclusion of this workshop, students should have a paper that is ready for submission to a conference or journal. Because the workshop will focus on the content, structure, and process of writing the paper, students will need to possess strong skills in written English. Topics covered in the workshop include audience awareness, library research strategies, copyright concerns, and the individual sections of a conference or journal paper. Students will be expected to write both during and outside of the workshop and participate in guided peer review sessions of their written work. The focus of the feedback will be on the content and organization of the writing rather than the grammar. This workshop is offered three times per year, including in the summer. Here is the link to register for the Writing a Publishable Paper workshop: https://purdue.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_3pY53SROhT8kiRD For students who are interested in a faster-paced workshop starting later in the semester, I am offering this same workshop twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays for five-and-one-half weeks from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. in the Graduate Student Center in the Northwestern Parking Garage. The link to that workshop can be found at www.engineering.purdue.edu/gradworkshops<http://www.engineering.purdue.edu/gradworkshops>. I've also attached the flyer with the entire spring semester communications workshop schedule. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your support of this workshop! Regards, Joanne Joanne Lax Graduate Technical Communications Specialist Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering, Room 2025 701 W. Stadium Ave. West Lafayette, IN 47907-2045 (765) 494-0621
