FW: Purdue University, School of Chemical Engineering - 2011 Kelly Lecture
by Luedtke, Deborah P 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Purdue University School of Chemical Engineering Kelly Lecture Series Dr. Stanley I. Sandler H.B. DuPont Chair of Chemical Engineering, Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry University of Delaware April 5, 2011 3:30 - 4:30 p.m. - FRNY G140 "Destroying Weapons of Mass Destruction" Abstract: This talk will discuss two projects the speaker has been involved with as a consultant to various agencies. The first was the destruction of rockets, projectiles, land mines and other armed weapons loaded with sarin, VX or mustard agent. While technical issues were involved, political, social and environmental issues were very important, and effort was spent dealing with local citizens groups that had different and sometimes conflicting interests. The second and ongoing project is the safe disposal of radioactive wastes from the production of nuclear weapons during WW II and the cold war. Here the challenges are largely technical with some over lay of political issues. This project has a long history of missed deadlines and ever increasing cost estimates making this the most expensive public works project currently underway. April 6, 2011 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. - FRNY 3059 "Quantum Mechanics: An Underutilized Tool in Thermodynamics" Abstract: In this talk the various ways computational quantum mechanics can be used in applied thermodynamics will be highlighted. We start with the most rigorous procedures of the ab initio calculation of the interactions between molecules that are used in computer simulation. We then progress, in steps, to less rigorous but easily used methods, including the very successful continuum solvation models. Bio: Stanley I. Sandler is the H. B. du Pont Chair of Chemical Engineering at the University of Delaware, where he has also been department chair and acting dean.. He is the author of approximately 375 papers, and several books including the two textbooks "Chemical, Biochemical and Engineering Thermodynamics" and the recently published "Introduction to Applied Statistical Thermodynamics". He has received numerous honors including the Professional Progress, Warren K. Lewis and Founder's Awards from the AIChE, and the E. V. Murphree Award from the ACS and other international awards. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and is the editor of the AIChE Journal. His current and recent visiting professorships include the National University of Singapore, the University of Melbourne (Australia) and Harbin Institute of Technology (China). He is a fellow of both the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and the Institution of Chemical Engineers (England). Debbie Luedtke Deborah P.

FW: AIChE Annual Volleyball Game
by Hendryx, Sandra K 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

Hello all! It's the time of year again for the annual volleyball game. This year's event is scheduled to take place on April 7th at 5:30pm in the Co-Rec East/West gyms and will go until 7pm. Faculty and staff, the best place to park is above the baseball field with the construction going on. Please email me at jwendhol(a)gmail.com<mailto:jwendhol@gmail.com> so that I may get a count as to how many people to expect. In what promises to be a competitive battle it will be interesting to see who proves to be the dominant force in chemical engineering volleyball once and for all. The undergrads will take on the graduate students in game 1 and the winner will move on to face the faculty in game 2. Rally scoring, first to win 2 sets, set 1 and 2 will go to 25 and the 3rd (if necessary) will go to 15.

29 Mar '11

Dear All, The recipients of the 2010 Graduate Student Awards will receive their awards on Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 3:30 p.m. in G140. Faculty Lecture Award will be awarded to Dr. Vishesh Shah and his seminar title is "Energy Savings in Distillation via Identification of Useful Configurations". The Graduate Students that are receiving Research Publication Awards are: Dr. Nanette R. Boyle, Flux balance analysis of primary metabolism in Chlamydomonas reinharditi", published in BMC Systems Biology, 2009, cited 12 times. Dr. Qijie Guo, Synthesis of Cu2ZnSnS4 Nanocrystal ink and its us4e for Solar cells", published in JACS, 2009, cited 24 times. This is considered a regular seminar and therefore it is required by grad students to attend. A reception is prior to event and begins at 3:00 p.m., as always, for those of you that have the CSi mugs or your own mugs, please bring them to the reception rather than using paper cups.

Performance Evaluations - Due by March 31, 2011
by Farmus, Cristina D 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

Dear Colleagues, It is the time to start a new round of performance evaluations for our staff. This year we will use again the online tool provided by the College of Engineering, which can be accessed at https://engineering.purdue.edu/PRS2. The tool has been significantly improved and streamlined since the 2010 evaluations and should be much easier to use than last year. I attach a list of all the staff members and their supervisors. I encourage all supervisors to start the evaluations this month and complete them by meeting with the staff members by March 31, 2011. Although it is not clear that there will be raises in 2011, the School head needs to receive from the supervisor for each supervisee a summary of the performance evaluation including: * accomplishments since the last evaluation * areas for improvement * professional development activities planned for the upcoming year. This can be the same summary that is printed from the performance review system. Thank you, Cristina Cristina Farmus Administrative Director Chemical Engineering Purdue University 765 494 0027 cfarmus(a)purdue.edu<mailto:cfarmus@purdue.edu>
