[Mentoring_at_Purdue] Mentoring@Purdue Welcome Back Social! Only 1 Week Away!
by Vollmer, Dorothy L 22 Aug '18

22 Aug '18

Hello everyone! I hope your first few days of classes are going well! Please join Mentoring@Purdue (M@P) for a Welcome Back Social on Wednesday, August 30th from noon-1:00pm at Leopold's Landing in Pfendler Hall! Catch up with faculty, staff, and students while having a bite to eat! M@P would like to invite all incoming and current graduate students, faculty, and staff to our annual welcome back social. This informal event is a great opportunity to meet new students, reconnect with returning students, and actively engage with potential peer and faculty mentors. Please join us for lunch, socializing, and learn how to get involved with Mentoring@Purdue! M@P aims to improve the quality of graduate education through fostering mentoring relationships between graduate students and faculty or staff members. Mentoring has played a crucial role in the success of many individuals, especially those that are generally underserved. The M@P program helps students grow professionally, academically, and personally to become successful individuals in their chosen area of study. M@P is designed to meet the mentoring needs of the mentors and mentees in the program through events, group forums, guest speakers, and workshops. As a participant in M@P, you will have numerous opportunities for academic and personal growth, support, encouragement, and assistance. M@P will provide training and guidance to both parties on how to have an effective mentor-mentee relationship. We look forward to meeting and reconnecting with you!

Ruben Chavez Seminar - Today at 4:00pm in BRK 2001
by Turner, Jaime J 27 Oct '17

27 Oct '17

Ruben Chavez Seminar OCTOBER 27, 2017 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM BRK 2001 Thermo-electric transport in nanowires and nanostructures Nanowires and nanostructures are interesting platforms to study heat and electric transport in confined systems. Nanowires are promising candidates in the field of thermoelectricity where heat is converted into electricity without any moving parts. A good thermoelectric material exhibits a low thermal conductivity, and high electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient. The thermal conductivity in nanowires is reduced compared to bulk due to surface scattering, while Seebeck coefficient is improved by the 1-dimensional density of states. InSb is the most promising thermoelectric material to study the effects of quantized electronic transport and its effects on the thermoelectric properties. Measurements of the thermoelectric properties of InSb nanowires will be presented. Ballistic phonon transport in GaP nanowires with a length up to 10 micrometers will be presented, which is attributed to specular scattering of phonons on the surface of the nanowires. Finally, the latest results on the search for signatures of Hydrodynamic phonon transport in silicon microstructures studied by CCD thermoreflectance will be shown.
