Dear Chemical Engineering Faculty, Staff, and Students, It is with a very heavy heart that I have to announce the departure of Amy Hayden from the ChE Business Office. Amy started in the ChE Business Office in 2004 and eventually landed in her current role in 2009. Over the last 10 years Amy has been an active member of the Chemical Engineering Team and garnered much respect from her peers and customers. She has a smiling face no matter the situation and is happy to help anyone and everyone. Most recently, Amy was awarded the Chemical Engineering Staff Excellence Award which summarizes her many years of phenomenal work and dedication to the school. She will be missed! Amy is receiving a much deserved promotion and taking a position within Electrical and Computer Engineering as an account assistant. Although she is leaving ChE, she won't be too far away! Please join me in congratulating Amy on her new position! Amy's new position in ECE will officially begin on October 27, but she will be spending partial days with us for a couple of weeks after that point. While we search for a replacement you may see new/different faces assisting us in the office. We will use college resources to ensure there is no disruption in service level. So that we do not confuse everyone with who is doing what task, it is best to use the email address chebo(a)purdue.edu<mailto:chebo@purdue.edu> to ensure that the entire group receives the communication. Also, please don't hesitate to contact me directly if you need assistance on anything and I will be happy to assist. Thank you, //////////////////////////////////////////// Erin Fetter Business Manager Chemical Engineering 765-494-4071 [Description: Description: W:\PU_signature_white_bg_215x80.png] Business Services enfetter(a)purdue.edu<mailto:enfetter@purdue.edu> www.purdue.edu<http://www.purdue.edu/> We are Purdue.

Graduate Seminar Series- Mr. Barash Oct 16
by Ewing, Virginia G 08 Oct '14

08 Oct '14

Purdue University School of Chemical Engineering Graduate seminar series Mr. Eyal Barash Barash Law LLC, Lafayette IN "Patent Law in an Innovation Environment - the Special Case of Pharmaceuticals and Related Technologies" Thursday, October 16, 2014 9:00-10:15 a.m. FRNY G140 Reception at 10:15-10:45 a.m. in Henson Atrium Abstract: In the highly regulated environment of pharmaceuticals, patent protection plays a critical role in protecting revenue and fostering innovation. With a low barrier to competition and long and expensive lead times, the ability to recoup staggering investment costs is a critical component for achieving success. It is not the only component, however. Coupled with patent law, food and drug law offers independent opportunities to protect value in the right circumstances. This talk will discuss how pharmaceutical patent and regulatory law interface and shape life cycle management strategies for innovators as well as opportunities and incentives for generics. Bio: Eyal Barash is a patent attorney who specializes in pharmaceuticals and chemical products. He currently practices in Lafayette, Indiana and represents numerous companies located in the research park. His practice includes drafting and prosecuting patent applications, client counseling, and negotiating licenses and other contracts. A native of West Lafayette, Mr. Barash obtained undergraduate degrees in chemistry and history from Indiana University, a Masters in physical chemistry from UC-Berkeley and his law degree from Northwestern. After practicing in Washington, DC for eight years, he returned to Indiana to work with emerging technology companies. Mr. Barash is a frequent speaker both nationally and internationally on intellectual property topics related to pharmaceuticals. In addition to his private practice of law, Mr. Barash is the Chief Intellectual Property Counsel to Endocyte and has an adjunct appointment in Chemical Engineering.

06 Oct '14

Purdue University SCHOOL OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING GRADUATE SEMINAR SERIES Prof. Talid Sinno Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering University of Pennsylvania "Using Energy Landscapes to Study Microstructure in Crystalline Materials" October 7, 2014 9:00-10:15 a.m. FRNY G140 Reception at 10:15-10:45 a.m. in Henson Atrium Abstract: The notions of potential energy landscapes and inherent structures are in routine use in the thermodynamic and kinetic analysis of glasses and supercooled liquids but, to date, have been only sparsely applied in the context of defect and microstructure thermodynamics in crystalline materials. Using crystalline silicon as a backdrop, the aim of this talk is to apply these concepts to study the high-temperature thermodynamics and structural characteristics of crystalline imperfections. It is shown that (configurational and vibrational) entropy plays an important role in setting the behavior of defects, sometimes in a surprising fashion. Connections to melting phenomena of crystalline materials will also be discussed Bio: Talid Sinno is Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. He also holds a secondary appointment in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Science. He received his PhD in Chemical Engineering from MIT in 1998 and joined the faculty at Penn in 1999. His laboratory develops and uses a wide variety of computer simulation techniques to study aggregation and clustering phenomena in range of systems that include atomic semiconductor and metallic materials, colloidal assemblies, and blood flow.

Hello Everyone, The information under the "Workplace Injury Information" section on the ChE Safety page (https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/AboutUs/Safety.html ) was updated to include: * instructions on what to do in case of an incident ("What to do if it happens to you?) * Incidents and near misses need to be reported. Should an incident or near miss happen in your work area, please complete the Safety Incident/Near Miss Report form (posted on our website and attached to this email) and send me a copy. The attached form is a template, you can use it when reporting incidents and near misses internally. * If you need to seek medical attention after an incident, the First Report of Injury (FROI) form needs to be completed and sent to REM (and me, please) via email. The FROI form needs to be completed by the PI. All the links under this section were updated and will take you to the relevant information. The document under Safety Update #19 was also updated to include recommendations on checking carts for mechanical integrity before using them for transporting gas cylinders or liquid nitrogen tanks. A big "Thank You!" to the ChESS leaders who helped in compiling the information in the first document ("What to do if it happens to you?"). Thank you for your commitment to safety!
