Dr. Jeff Varner to join our faculty this Fall!
by Varma, Arvind 11 Jun '15

11 Jun '15

Dear All, At a recent "Conversations with the Head" meeting, some graduate students requested to be informed when a new faculty member joins our School. I am delighted to inform that Dr. Jeffrey Varner, currently at Cornell University, will join our School as Professor this fall. Dr. Varner received his PhD degree in 1997 from our School, under the direction of Prof. Ramkrishna. Following a postdoctoral appointment at ETH-Zurich, he was first with Genencor, then joined Cornell University as an Assistant Professor in 2005 and has been a tenured Associate Professor since 2011. His research interests are in modeling and analysis of signal transduction and metabolic networks, where he has developed computational tools to automate model generation, identification and analysis. His recognitions include an NSF CAREER award (2009), a Cornell College of Engineering Teaching Excellence award (2010), NAE Frontiers of Engineering invitee (2005), and two College-level undergraduate research mentorship awards (2012, 2014). He has held a variety of leadership service positions at Cornell, including Director of both Masters of Science and Masters of Engineering programs in their School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. You may recall his graduate seminar in our School on March 5, 2015. Dr. Varner will add significantly to our strengths in the areas of biological research. With best wishes for a productive and enjoyable summer! Arvind Varma R. Games Slayter Distinguished Professor Jay and Cynthia Ihlenfeld Head of Chemical Engineering Purdue University

Hello Everyone, Please find attached a summary of the safety incidents and near misses that occurred in our School and were reported to me from my last report until now. I hope that sharing this information with you will prevent similar situations from happening. Please continue to report all safety incidents and near misses using the form "Safety Incident/Near Miss Report" posted on our website: https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/AboutUs/Safety.html under "Workplace Injury Information". As a reminder, when someone is injured during a safety incident, even if the injury does not require medical attention, this needs to also be reported to REM, using the First Report of Injury (FROI) form: https://www.purdue.edu/ehps/rem/home/forms/froi.pdf. The form, which is also available on our website, needs to be sent to REM by the supervisor. Should you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you for your commitment to safety! Sincerely, Gabriela On behalf of the ChE Safety Committee __________________ Gabriela Nagy, PhD Industrial Education Director School of Chemical Engineering Room FRNY G051 Purdue University Tel: (765)-496-1710 E-mail: nagyg(a)purdue.edu<mailto:nagyg@purdue.edu>

Odor
by Valley, Jeffrey L 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

All, On the corner of the old 2nd floor in the mop closet by the men's restroom they installed a stainless steel sheet on the wall which was attached with a certain kind of adhesive that has a very strong odor to it. I have heard some sensors are going into alarm in some labs which is probably related directly to this odor. It will dissipate but not for a while. Since it is late in the day and will be after business hours shortly, if you have concerns later tonight please call the Purdue police business # 48221 and report the problem and they will send personnel to investigate. Thank you. Jeff Valley
