Pre-packaged snacks and drinks will be provided beforehand for those joining to enjoy during the seminar from their respective workspaces! We will send out the RSVP link soon. Dr. Melissa L. Sweat Bio: Dr. Melissa L. Sweat is a Research Chemical Engineer with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). Currently, she is matrixed to the Decontamination Sciences Branch at the United States Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Chemical Biological Center (CCDC CBC). Most recently, her work has focused on understanding the contact transfer of liquid and solid chemical agents, as well as an investigation into the chemical penetration of hazardous materials into paint coatings. Before joining the research efforts at CCDC CBC, Dr. Sweat spent time in industry as a product specialist focusing on particle and materials characterization with Anton Paar USA. Dr. Sweat also completed an ORISE Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Transportation Security Laboratory, specializing in particle characterization and adhesion, as well as explosives residues evaluations for airport security applications. Prior to her postdoctoral work, she earned her B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Mississippi State University in 2010, and her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at Purdue University in 2015. Her doctoral work focused on the mechanical behavior of C-4, with emphasis on the particulate and polymeric behaviors.

Research Space 100% Capacity
by Gonzalez, Joshua 25 Jun '21

25 Jun '21

Dear All, On behalf of the School, I would like to relay the University’s decision announced yesterday (see email below) regarding the use of all research spaces back to pre-Covid capacity. This measure will allow all Covid SOP constraints to be rescinded, EXCEPT for the continue use of masks at all times in shared spaces (labs, grad offices, etc.) regardless of vaccination status. With this, research spaces such as grad offices will also be allowed to be opened at 100% occupancy. There will also no longer be a need for any rotating schedules that research groups have implemented for Covid precautions for both labs and grad offices. All research related occupancy signs, along with Covid SOP signs have already been removed from appropriate rooms. Please remember that along with all this masks are still required for everyone at all times in shared spaces. In the days to come, new guidance will be issued regarding the use of face masks for non-instructional spaces, once that is available I shall follow up with an update. I would like to express appreciation to everyone for their amazing cooperation throughout this pandemic that allowed us to be able to get to this point and that much more closer to a sense of normalcy. We shall keep the momentum going to the fall semester and beyond. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. Thank you all for your time. Sincerely, Joshua --- [Davidson_H-Full-CMYK_1200px] <https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE> Joshua Gonzalez Operations Coordinator [Phone_1D_11x16px] (765) 494-4365 | [Fax_1D_16x16px] (765) 494-0805 From: purdueresearch(a)purdue.edu<mailto:purdueresearch@purdue.edu> <purdueresearch(a)purdue.edu<mailto:purdueresearch@purdue.edu>> Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2021 4:45 PM Subject: Research Space 100% Capacity [https://mailimages.purdue.edu/spacer.gif]<https://maillinks.purdue.edu/t/41547280/1558920867/80194456/0/124711/?72f79…> View as a Web page<https://maillinks.purdue.edu/t/41547280/1558920867/87051316/0/124711/?b44ed…> [https://mailimages.purdue.edu/spacer.gif] [nameplate] [https://mailimages.purdue.edu/spacer.gif] Dear Research Community, We are pleased to announce that effective immediately, research spaces can return to pre-COVID-19 operations, with the exception of the continued use of face masks. This change will enable researchers to return to 100% capacity in their research spaces. As a result, any layout, scheduling, or other changes implemented to accommodate COVID-19 safety can be rescinded and these components of Research Space SOPs will be unnecessary. In conjunction with this, IRB approval will no longer require an approved Research Space SOP. However, we ask that you continue to keep your personnel lists updated through the SOP portal<https://maillinks.purdue.edu/t/41547280/1558920867/87051312/0/124711/?x=936…> to facilitate continued tracking of any research COVID-19 cases, particularly as we implement this relaxation of protocols. This decision has been made with input from the Protect Purdue Leadership Team and the Medical Advisory Team and affects all researchers, regardless of vaccination status. Around this time last year, we were beginning to re-open research spaces and allow researchers back into their labs under COVID-19 restrictions. Because of your diligence in following the protocols developed in your SOPs, we are thrilled that we are in the position to re-open operations. Thank you for your flexibility, hard work, and dedication during this time. Should you have any questions, please contact Michelle Dennis at mlong1(a)purdue.edu<mailto:mlong1@purdue.edu>.
