[cid:image001.png@01D1FC8F.4DBED550]<https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE> GRADUATE SEMINAR SERIES Dr. Thomas M. Truskett, Chair McKetta Department of Chemical Engineering University of Texas at Austin "Inverse Design of Interactions for Assembly" Tuesday, September 6, 2016 3:00 - 4:15 p.m. FRNY G140 Reception at 2:30 p.m. in Henson Atrium Abstract: Nanometer-scale, colloidally-stable particles suspended in a fluid can be driven to assemble into a wide variety of different structures depending on the control parameters of the system and the nature of the effective interparticle interactions. In many cases, the relevant interactions are tunable via external fields, physical or chemical modification of the particle surfaces, or changes in the composition of the suspending solvent. In this talk, we explore simple models for the 'inverse' design of such interactions for cluster or superlattice forming systems. We also touch upon practical aspects associated with realizing and characterizing the designed structures. Bio: Tom Truskett is the Les and Sherri Stuewer Endowed Professor and Department Chair in Chemical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. He earned Bachelor of Science and Doctoral degrees in chemical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin and Princeton University, respectively, and was a postdoctoral fellow in biophysics at the University of California, San Francisco. In 2002, he joined the faculty of Chemical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. His group studies how interfaces and confinement impact the behavior of soft matter including molecular fluids, colloidal suspensions, protein solutions, and glasses. Tom is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineers. He is also recipient of an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship, a David and Lucile Packard Foundation Fellowship, a National Science Foundation's CAREER Award, TAMEST's O'Donnell Award for Engineering, and AIChE's Allan P.

by Vigar, Jill K 29 Aug '16

29 Aug '16

Good Afternoon! As your United Way Ambassador this year, it's my pleasure to share with you that the 2016 United Way campaign officially kicks-off on September 1st! All Purdue employees will receive an email solicitation on Thursday, September 1, as part of the Purdue United Way campaign kickoff. This email will explain how you can make your pledge via the ePledge website. There will not be any paper pledge packets. Articles in Purdue Today and HR Connect will run this week and will cover ePledge and campaign information. Please consider supporting some University-wide events that are coming in September: * Splash or Cash Challenge Event - Sept. 16: This is essentially the Purdue fountain run version of the Ice Bucket Challenge * Dine to Donate $1 - Sept. 19-30: Purdue Dining retail locations where visitors will be asked to donate a $1 to United Way at food checkout The College of Engineering will also be hosting some events in the coming weeks.....details forthcoming! Stay tuned! In the meantime, please check out the United Way of Greater Lafayette website (shown below) to see all the great work that is done with the dollars that you donate! Live United!

FW: 25th Annual Research Symposium
by Green, Corwin S 17 Aug '16

17 Aug '16

Hello everyone! The 25th Annual Graduate Research Symposium is tomorrow! I just had a couple of last minute reminders related to the event. - Our keynote speaker is Dr. Godwin Tongo, from BP Petrochemicals Technology. His bio is attached, and the abstract is below for his talk, "Accurate Physical Properties in Process Design." The talk will take place in FRNY G140 from 10 am to 11 am. All are welcome. Reliable physical properties are the foundation of designs of chemical plants. Physical properties matter and getting accurate data and models is important. Poor choices of physical property data can cost millions and poor physical property model selection can have an enormous effect on simulation results especially for distillation. Some of the sources for physical properties will be explored including DIPPr. - I have attached the overall schedule for the day. Please note that the mixer and banquet are invite only, and the lunch is only for those involved in the Symposium or told otherwise. - The full abstract book is available at the following link, and contains a more detailed schedule of everyone's talks and the poster session layout. https://engineering.purdue.edu/~gso/documents/Symposium2016/2016%20Symposiu… - Dress for the event is business casual. Hope to see you all tomorrow. Please let me know if you have any questions! Scott McClary President, 2016-2017 [cid:image001.jpg@01D1F871.E6251D80]
