Birck Thursday Lunch Seminar Series - Gaurav Vohra Thursday, November 15, 2018 12:00pm – 1:00pm BRK 1001 – Lunch Provided MEMS Gyroscopes: Modeling stress-to-offset, towards design improvements Offset stability for Gyroscopes is extremely important for MEMS devices, especially for safety critical applications. Tiny stresses resulting from tens of nanometers of deformation can violate the data sheet specification for offset. Identification and understanding of stress related offset mechanisms plays a key role in improving the performance of the next generation of MEMS sensors. This talk will cover the basics of gyroscope and highlight the difficulties of simulating stresses for vibrating sensors (like gyroscopes) and improving the stress sensitivity through design changes by an order of magnitude with experimental validation. Gaurav joined Analog Devices in 2007 after finishing his Master of Science at Marquette University. His Master's thesis work focused on design and evaluation of Piezo electric Lamb Acoustic Wave Devices. At Analog Devices,he has contributed to the design, simulation, verification and successful release of multiple automotive and consume grade MEMS gyroscope and accelerometer programs. He is currently working as a senior member of MEMS InertialS ensors design group and has 2patents issued and 7 pending.

[Mentoring_at_Purdue] "Mentoring in the Classroom" Workshop THIS Wednesday!
by Alexander, Elizabeth M 14 Nov '18

14 Nov '18

Good morning! Mark your calendars and join us this Wednesday, November 14 at 12pm for the next Mentoring@Purdue workshop: Mentoring in the Classroom: Utilizing Learner-Centered Teaching to Build Positive Student Relationships! This month, M@P will host Dr. Mashtare who will share practical examples on how to implement LCT in your classroom. Not quite sure what Learner Centered Teaching is all about? Dr. Knobloch will open up with a short introduction on LCT and how it relates to mentoring! Bring your notepad, bring your questions and join us this Wednesday! Mentoring is more than meeting over coffee and connecting through emails-the classroom can be the perfect environment for creating a positive relationship with your students! However, a better understanding of Learner-Centered Teaching (LCT) can optimize potential for mentoring relationships. Join us for an interactive workshop on how to incorporate an LCT philosophy into your classroom! If you are unable to attend in person, please join us via webex: https://purdue.webex.com/meet/alexan42 [cid:image002.png@01D475B9.91C9FB80] Liz Alexander Graduate Research Assistant Coordinator of On-Campus Activities Mentoring@Purdue Department of Youth Development and Agricultural Education Purdue University Lilly Hall Rm. 4-401 915 W.

High Res. Si wafer with SiO2
by Turner, Jaime J 01 Nov '18

01 Nov '18

Hello All, I am working on a project advised by Prof. Alina Alexeenko and Prof. Li Qiao. For the fabrication, a high res. Si wafer (~10,000 ohm-cm) with 2 um thick SiO2 layer is needed. Please let me know if someone have such type of wafers at Birck? Or planning to buy them? We need only 5 wafers and don’t want to custom order 25 wafers. Thank you!

[NSAC] Shark Tank Competition deadline today!
by Samuel Peana 29 Oct '18

29 Oct '18

Join the SCIENCE COMMUNICATION SHARK TANK competition for aspiring researchers in nanotechnology! *** please RSVP by October 29th (TODAY!!!) to Jaime Turner (jjturner(a)purdue.edu<mailto:jjturner@purdue.edu>) with your name(s), title of project and faculty advisor*** Earn prizes and get your work covered by leading media outlets! The Shark Tank competition recruits participants for a training workshop on Wednesday, Oct. 31st, 2018, at Birck 1001. All workshop participants will be certified as “science storytellers” upon completing and submitting a communication pitch about a group project. Furthermore, the submissions will be judged and the best of them will be presented at a live judging contest on Wednesday, Nov. 14th, 2018, at 3:30pm, in Burton Morgan 121. The judges are professional communicators, who will further coach the winners and advise them on how to place their stories in the media. What is the Shark Tank Competition? You just found out how to deliver drugs at the molecular level. You created a novel photonic device or quantum computer on a chip. You invented a new type of soil sensor for agriculture. You are the next successful researcher in nanotechnology. How do you let the world of investors, potential employers, or media that what you do should make them stop in their tracks and pay attention? The skill you need is that of a master storyteller. This is, however, more than the ability to crack a joke during a presentation. It goes beyond using more pictures and fewer words in your Powerpoint slides. It is about creating strong arguments. It is about violating expectations. It is about using numbers like levers, not bludgeons. It is about timing and flexibility in delivery. It is about appealing to people’s sense of logos, pathos, and ethos; reason, feeling, and ethics can take you a long way. The Science Communication Shark Tank competition gives you a chance to learn and train these skills in the best possible way: by playing a real-life game. You will participate as a member of the team in a science storytelling seminar, will learn how to create a scientific story, and you will prepare a written and a spoken presentation, which will be judged for selection in a live, Shark Tank Competition. Run by a group of talented professional communicators, the competition will award prizes and, most important, will offer the participants a chance to work with one of the sharks to refine their story and release it to the general public through a specialized media campaign. What are the steps to participate in the Shark Tank Competition? To enroll in the competition you need to get “shark tank certified.” You are expected to enroll in a training seminar, which will be organized on Wednesday, Oct. 31st, 2018, 8:30-11:30am at Birck 1001. The deadline for delivering the projects for judging is November 10, while the SharkTank competition will be held on Nov. 14, 2018, 3:30-5pm at Burton Morgan 121. Top three winners will receive $300 /$200 /$100 cash rewards each. Who are the Sharks?

Abrar Hammoud, a Clinical Assistant Professor in Technology Leadership & Innovation, is co-lead of the Transdisciplinary Studies in Technology Program in the Purdue Polytechnic. Professor Hammoud is a Purdue graduate from the School of Communication and her research is about how processes of resilience are communicated through meaningful work. She teaches project and problem-based design studio classes that blend STEM and Humanities. She is a co-author of Effective Communication for STEM and co-facilitator of the Science Storytelling Seminar. Lisa Bosman, is the author of the volume “Teaching the entrepreneurial mindset to the engineers” and Assistant Professor in the Purdue Polytechnic Institute. Lisa has a diverse combination of higher education teaching experience working in learning environments including Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCU), Community Colleges, and Universities (public and private institutions, teaching and research-oriented). In addition, she worked for several years as a manufacturing engineer for world-class companies including Harley-Davidson Motor Company, John Deere, and Oshkosh Truck. Why did we organize the Communication Shark Tank Competition? This is a special event, sponsored by the Office of the Dean for Research and Graduate Education in the College of Liberal Arts and the Birck Nanotechnology Center. Dr. Sorin Adam Matei, the Associate Dean for Research and Professor of Communication and Dr. Ali Shakouri, the Mary Jo and Robert L. Kirk Director of the Birck Center, have created this program as a means to broaden and diversify the learning experiences of STEM students at Purdue and to teach them the necessary skills to become master communicators and academic or business leaders.
