Guys this lecture will be fantastic. Prof. Segev is one of the best lecturers and scientists I have ever seen! I can not recommend this lecture more highly!

We are now more than a decade after it started. Topological photonics has already proved itself as an excellent platform for experimenting with concepts imported from condensed matter physics. But more importantly, topological photonics has also triggered new fundamental ideas of its own and has offered exciting applications that could become real technologies in the near future. The concepts of topological photonics will be presented, along with its most important aspect: topological insulator lasers. *Time:* 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. EDT *Date:* August 24, 2021 *UPDATED Location:* WALC 132 Learn more about the Neil Armstrong Distinguished Visiting Fellows <https://maillinks.purdue.edu/t/41824573/1487138775/87794751/1/120588/?f5d63…> <https://maillinks.purdue.edu/t/41824573/1487138775/87794751/0/120588/?f5d63…> Shop <https://maillinks.purdue.edu/t/41824573/1487138775/78175239/0/120588/?x=fd0…> | Visit <https://maillinks.purdue.edu/t/41824573/1487138775/78217797/0/120588/?x=9b3…> | Give <https://maillinks.purdue.edu/t/41824573/1487138775/78217799/0/120588/?x=427…> Forward to a Friend <https://maillinks.purdue.edu/t/41824573/1487138775/87814399/0/120588/?abb9e…> | Unsubscribe from this list <https://maillinks.purdue.edu/t/41824573/1487138775/83756416/0/120588/?c1e99…> | Unsubscribe from all lists <https://maillinks.purdue.edu/t/41824573/1487138775/83756417/0/120588/?e4eaa…> | Privacy Policy <https://maillinks.purdue.edu/t/41824573/1487138775/66794847/0/120588/?x=600…> This email was sent to: *speana(a)purdue.edu <speana(a)purdue.edu>* This email was sent by: *Purdue University* 610 Purdue Mall West Lafayette, IN 47906 765-494-4600 <https://maillinks.purdue.edu/t/41824573/1487138775/71786932/0/120588/?x=c96…>

3M Fall PhD Recruiting
by Turner, Jaime J 13 Aug '21

13 Aug '21

Dear BNC students, Please find below and attached information on 3M recruitment. I wanted to reach out because 3M is ramping up fall recruiting for PhD students. There are many different positions we're hiring for that could be of interest to the students at Birck including in the areas of optical materials, electronic materials, surface science, and biological adhesion and mechanics, among others. If you could disperse the attached flier and this key information to the Birck community, it would be very much appreciated! The key details are summarized below. * There are information sessions specifically for graduate students on Sunday, August 15 at 4 pm ET and Tuesday, August 17th at 6 pm ET. The meeting links are in the attached flier. * The deadline to submit resumes for this round of interviews is August 19th. Interested students can apply at this link: http://go.3m.com/EastRR. * Interviews will be conducted between August 19th and the end of the month, if students are selected based on their resume/application. * Looking for students working in the areas of optical materials, electronic materials, surface science, and biological adhesion and mechanics, and more (see attached flier). We are always interested in talking to exceptional students, no matter their expertise! If there are students interested in 3M that aren't nearing graduation, they are more than welcome to attend the information session, and we're always happy to chat with them about career options at 3M. We do some PhD-level internships as well (though this would be a different application window). If you have any questions or would like to connect, feel free to reach out.
