Dear Birck graduate students, The Nanotechnology Student Advisory Council (NSAC) will be holding its annual Elections and Ice Cream this Thursday, June 21st at 1 P.M. in the Birck Kitchen. If you would like to get more involved in the Nanotechnology community here at Purdue or have ideas about how to improve student life here at Birck, consider joining one of our committees! NSAC committees help organize events such as Game Night, Hot Cocoa Breaks, and National Lab Visits, among other activities that help enrich life at Birck. NSAC Committees: Social and Hospitality Research Awareness Professional Development Policies and Procedures About NSAC: NSAC is an organization of graduate students at Purdue University who are interested in nanotechnology research. Our membership includes all Birck Nanotechnology Center (BNC) graduate student residents, but we encourage others to join. Our goal is to promote collaboration, enhance research awareness, and facilitate communication among faculty, staff, and students. To meet this goal, we plan regular social events, host lab open houses, and collaborate with the staff to organize the Equipment & Process Expert (Super-User) Program. We also have student volunteers that serve on the Policies and Procedures Committee for BNC. http://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/nanotechnology/resources/nsac/index.php. See you there!

FW: Wea Ridge Elementary Science Fair
by Black, Nancy Lee 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Subject: Wea Ridge Elementary Science Fair My fellow scientists and engineers, The Wea Ridge Elementary School Third Grade Science Fair has been scheduled. I'm looking for judges to work on Tuesday, April 17th. The judging will take place in the morning from 9:30-11:30am. This usually takes about 1.5 hours. There will be 3-6 judges per room (depending on size of class), and there are 5 rooms of students. The school is located about 10 minutes southeast of campus at 1333 E, 430S, Lafayette, IN. The kids think it's cool that scientists and engineers come to judge their projects, and the teachers appreciate our volunteered time. Please take advantage of this opportunity to represent your profession. You may be the first science or engineering professional the student has met, and the memory you create will impact that child's life. In addition, the model you provide may influence a student's career choice. Please let me know if you, or someone you know, would like to help out or would like more information. Thanks, Brenda Hofmann USDA-ARS National Soil Erosion Research Laboratory 275 S. Russell Dr. West Lafayette, IN 47907 bhofmann(a)purdue.edu Ph. 765-404-2111 Fax 765-494-5948

FW: NSAC/NCN Seminar on March 23, 2012 at 3:30-4:30 PM ( Birck 1001)
by Black, Nancy Lee 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

NSAC/NCN Seminar Series 2012 Topic: Field-matter interactions can be exploited for various pursuits in nanotechnology. Abstract: Field-matter interactions can be exploited for various pursuits in nanotechnology.I shall present highlights of my research activity which spans over past 10 years. Fields (electric field/laser) have been observed to induce material modifications. Photochemical transformations for carbon materials at reduced dimensionality such as graphene (2D) and carbon nanotubes (1D) will also be presented. Excited state electron transfer has been employed to achieve white light in graphene- ZnO nanocomposite systems and enhanced photocatalysis in graphene-TiO2 nanocomposite systems. Lasing action in semiconductor nanostructures is yet another area which is relevant for field-matter interactions. Speaker: Dr. Prashant Kumar, got his Master's degree in Physics in 2003 from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi and Ph.D in Physics in 2009 from University of Hyderabad.Currently he is a visiting scholar at Birck Nanotechnology Centre and working with Prof. Fisher. Date/time: Thursday, March 23, 2012 3:30 PM- 4:30 PM at Birck 1001 Refreshment will served. -----------------------
