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!

to whom borrowed my usb drive last Sunday
by Black, Nancy Lee 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

Last Sunday a guy borrowed a USB flash drive from Alex Boyang at Birck 2234. He said that he would return in 2 hours, but he hasn't returned it yet. Alex needs the flash drive. He was nice enough to let you borrow it. Could you be nice enough to return it? You can leave it on my desk in 2287 with a note if you prefer. Thanks, Nancy Black Secretary V BRK 2287 Birck Nanotechnology Center West Lafayette, IN 47907-2057 Phone: 765-494-8675 Fax: 765-494-4731

[Mentoring_at_Purdue] M@P Workshop TOMORROW!
by Vollmer, Dorothy L 27 Feb '18

27 Feb '18

Good morning everyone! Please join Mentoring@Purdue (M@P) tomorrow for the Overcoming Obstacles for Effective Mentoring workshop on Wednesday, February 28th from noon-1:00pm in Pfendler Hall room 241! If you are unable to attend in person, please join us via webex: https://purdue.webex.com/meet/dvollme M@P is a mentoring program designed with women and minority graduate students in the College of Agriculture at Purdue University in mind. M@P aims to improve the quality of graduate education through fostering mentoring relationships between graduate students and faculty or staff members in the Agricultural and Life Sciences. 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. Meaningful mentoring is not a drive-by activity; it takes time and it should be proactive. Mentors should have the ability and willingness to communicate what they know. Mentors should also realize that their advice and counsel may not always align with the mentee's ultimate decision; therefore, a mentor should try not to impose their own style onto the mentee. Mentors, and mentees, should be prepared, approachable, available, inquisitive, and objective as well as be compassionate and genuine. Relationships will evolve and change over time and come with their own set of benefits and challenges. Every challenge is an opportunity in disguise. Join us to hear from Natasha L. Harris, the Assistant Director in the Science Diversity Office, speak about her strategies for overcoming challenges and becoming an effective mentor. [cid:image001.jpg@01D3AFA5.E2B0D260] The M@P Invited Lecture Series (ILS) is next week! Check out the attached flyer for information on our guest speaker, and be on the lookout later this week for more details on ILS workshops!

Prof. Andrew Faraon Seminar - Feb. 27th @ 11am in BRK 2001
by Turner, Jaime J 26 Feb '18

26 Feb '18

Prof. Andrei Faraon Seminar FEBRUARY 27, 2018 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM BRK 2001 Quantum Nano-Photonic Devices Based on Rare-Earth Ions Bio: Dr. Andrei Faraon is an Assistant Professor of Applied Physics at California Institute of Technology. After earning a B.S. degree in physics with honors in 2004 at California Institute of Technology, he received his M.S. in Electrical Engineering and PhD in Applied Physics both from Stanford University in 2009. At Stanford, Dr. Faraon was involved with seminal experiments on quantum optics using single indium arsenide quantum dots strongly coupled to photonic crystal cavities in gallium arsenide. After earning his PhD, Dr. Faraon spent three years as a postdoctoral fellow at Hewlett Packard Laboratories. Faraon left HP in 2012 to become an Assistant Professor at Caltech, where he set up a laboratory specialized in developing nano-photonic technologies for devices that operate close to the fundamental limit of light-matter interaction. He is recipient of the NSF CAREER, ONR YIA and AFSOR YIA awards. Abstract: Quantum light-matter interfaces that reversibly map photonic quantum states onto atomic states, are essential components in the quantum engineering toolbox with applications in quantum communication, computing, and quantumenabled sensing. I present a new platform for on-chip quantum light-matter interfaces based on nanophotonic resonators coupled to rare-earth-ions in crystals. The rare-earth ions exhibit long coherence times on optical transitions, which makes them suitable for optical quantum memories. We demonstrate a high-fidelity nanophotonic quantum memory based on a mesoscopic neodymium ensemble coupled to a photonic crystal cavity. The nanocavity enables >95% spin polarization for efficient initialization of the atomic frequency comb memory, and time-bin-selective readout via enhanced optical Stark shift of the comb frequencies. Our current technology can be readily transferred to Erbium doped devices for telecom memories that can be integrated with silicon photonics. Besides ensemble memories, single rare-earth-ions coupled to nano-resonators can be used as single optically addressable quantum bits where the quantum state is mapped on their Zeeman or hyperfine levels with long coherence time. Our solid-state nano-photonic quantum light-matter interfaces can be integrated with other chip-scale photon source and detector devices for multiplexed quantum and classical information processing at the nodes of quantum networks. I also discuss prospects or integration with superconducting resonators and qubits, which can lead to devices for reversible quantum transduction of optical photons to microwave photons, thus enabling optical interconnects between superconducting quantum computers.
