Your Input Needed: New Transportation Computational Lab Survey
by Rishika Srinivasa Tumula 18 Jul '25

18 Jul '25

Dear Students, Postdocs, and Faculty, The department is planning to upgrade HAMP Room 1268—currently used as the transportation lab and mini-conference room—into a modern Transportation Computational Laboratory. This new facility will better support the evolving research needs of our transportation graduate community by providing access to high-performance computing systems, specialized transportation software, advanced visualization tools, and collaborative conferencing equipment. Purdue ITE is assisting the department with this initiative and is distributing this email on its behalf. To ensure this new lab aligns closely with your priorities and effectively supports your academic and research activities, we kindly ask you to complete a short survey. Your input will guide us in selecting essential software tools, identifying necessary hardware, and understanding anticipated lab use patterns. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey by Wednesday, July 23, 2025, using the link below: https://forms.gle/2zGRNrDaf29wQHGc9<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle…> Your feedback is critical to creating a valuable resource for our entire transportation group. Thank you in advance for your time and insights. Best, Rishika Rishika Tumula Graduate Student - Transportation and Infrastructure Systems Engineering Vice President ITE – Purdue Chapter [signature_1458287344]

We hope you’ll be able to join for this insightful presentation. "Exploring the use of multi-scale plant-based fibers in 3D concrete printing" [https://mailimages.purdue.edu/eng-construction-engineering-management/3d_pr…] Date: July 2, 2025 Time: 10:00 AM-11:00 AM Location: HAMP G212 Abstract This presentation discusses a Fulbright-funded preliminary study on the use of multiscale plant-based fibers in 3D concrete printing, focusing on their potential reinforcing effects and internal curing properties. Micronized hemp, millimeter-sized hemp particles, and 6mm long natural fibers are incorporated into the cementitious matrix. The effects of pre-treatment with sodium hydroxide solution and silica fume slurry are studied. Printability, mechanical properties, and microstructure of the selected materials are analyzed. Future research plans are outlined to better understand the behavior of these materials and investigate their role in advancing sustainable 3D printed concrete. Bio Dr. Rajczakowska has obtained her master’s degree in civil engineering from Wroclaw University of Technology, Poland, and her PhD in building materials from Luleå University of Technology, Sweden. She is currently a post-doctoral researcher in the Building Materials group at Luleå University of Technology. Her work encompasses various aspects of sustainable building materials, including self-healing concrete, mechanochemical activation of recycled concrete fines, alkali-activated materials, and multifunctional concrete, including nuclear shielding properties. She has been a 2025 Fulbright Scholar at Purdue University, working with 3D printing cementitious composites. Dr Rajczakowska has authored over twenty peer-reviewed papers, serves on RILEM technical committees, and collaborates on eco-efficient infrastructure projects with Swedish industry and academia in Sweden, Poland, and Australia.
