by Johnson, Beverly J 30 Mar '20

30 Mar '20

After listening to the town hall, I realized it might be nice to re-advertise the GSO book club. The GSO shared shelf is hosting a virtual book club on Thursday if you want to forward the meeting invite to the department. People don't need to have read / finished the book to join the discussion. The book is Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison Caralyn Coultas-Mckenney PhD Candidate Davidson School of Chemical Engineering Graduate Women in Engineering Network (GWEN) Leadership Team Member Women in Engineering Program (WIEP) Purdue University ccoultas(a)purdue.edu<mailto:ccoultas@purdue.edu> ________________________________ From: Caralyn Ann Coultas-Mckenney <messenger(a)webex.com<mailto:messenger@webex.com>> Sent: Friday, March 27, 2020 11:23 AM To: Caralyn Ann Coultas-Mckenney <ccoultas(a)purdue.edu<mailto:ccoultas@purdue.edu>> Subject: (Forward to others) Webex meeting invitation: Virtual Book Club You can forward this invitation to others.

Steam Shutdown
by Valley, Jeffrey L 18 Mar '20

18 Mar '20

BE ADVISED - Tomorrow , 3-19-20 , we will be one of numerous buildings on the north end of campus that will have the steam shut off so they can install a main valve that needs to be repaired. This shut down will start at 6 am Thursday and last until Friday afternoon. High pressure steam, hot water and heating will be affected by this work. The building will maintain its temperature for a period of time but will drop gradually since outside air will continue to come in and temps are expected to be in the 60's. Since policy has dictated that most are not here this week, hopefully this will have little affect on the majority of our occupants but for those still around please take any necessary precautions that are needed. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thank you. Jeff Valley

FW: Coronavirus announcement from the Provost - Telecommuting - Chemical Engineering insights
by Gonzalez, Joshua 16 Mar '20

16 Mar '20

Dear All, Due to Outlook issues, and on behalf of Dr. Kim, I am resending his email sent earlier this morning in order to ensure everyone receives the important message from our School Head. You will find his message below. For those who receive duplicates, I apologize for the inconvenience. To that effect, the School is currently working to implement such changes and effective tomorrow most employees will be teleworking where possible until April 3 i.e. Grad Office, and Undergraduate Office. In the coming days, we will be reaching out to those employees with details regarding this. Please note that the Main Office currently at this point will still be open, however the workforce will be significantly reduced due to this teleworking policy and we appreciate your patience throughout this time. Please understand the situation is very fluid, and we encourage you stay up-to-date on the CoVid-19 Purdue Website<https://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/releases/2020/Q1/need-to-know-info-about-co…> for any potential changes/updates. We all appreciate your cooperation and effort in keeping our community safe while maintaining an exemplary work ethic through this unfortunate time. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Ogunnaike is the William L. Friend Chaired Professor of chemical engineering and, until October 1, 2019, dean of the College of Engineering at the University of Delaware. He received the B.Sc. degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Lagos, Nigeria; the M.S. degree, in Statistics and the Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering both from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is the author or co-author of four books including a widely used textbook, Process Dynamics, Modeling and Control, and Random Phenomena: Fundamentals of Probability and Statistics for Engineers. His awards include the American Institute of Chemical Engineers 1998 CAST Computing Practice Award, the 2007 ISA Eckman Award, the 2008 AACC Control Engineering Practice award and the 2018 AIChE Warren K. Lewis Award. He was named a fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers in 2009, a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2015; Fellow of the international Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) in 2017; he was also elected to fellowship of the Nigerian Academy of Engineering and elected to the US National Academy of Engineering both in 2012. ******* ******* "Biological Control Systems:The Future of Engineering in Medicine" Tuesday, March 10, 2020 3:00 p.m. - 4:15 p.m. FRNY G140 - Reception at 2:30 p.m. in Henson Atrium - Abstract: The mammalian organism maintains stable, efficient and "near-optimal" performance and homeostasis in the face of external and internal perturbations via distinct biological systems ranging from the large-scale physiological (nervous, endocrine, immune, circulatory, respiratory, etc.), to the cellular (growth and proliferation regulation, DNA damage repair, etc.), and the sub-cellular (gene expression, protein synthesis, metabolite regulation, etc). "Biological Control Systems," a sub-topic of Control Theory, arises from a control engineering perspective of the function, organization, and coordination of these multi-scale biological systems and the control mechanisms that enable them to carry out their functions effectively. In this presentation, we will provide an overview of how physiological life is made possible by control; demonstrate the usefulness of a control engineering perspective of pathologies for diagnosis, design, and implementation of effective treatments-especially for precision (personalized) medicine; and hence make the case for the central role engineering will play in enabling medicine of the future. The concepts and principles will be illustrated using a specific clinical example involving platelet count control for an immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) patient. ******* ******* Davidson School of Chemical Engineering<https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE> Purdue University West Lafayette, IN 47907 (765) 494-4050<tel:+17654944050> (c) 2020 Purdue University<http://www.purdue.edu/purdue/disclaimer.html> All rights reserved An equal access/equal opportunity university<http://www.purdue.edu/purdue/ea_eou_statement.html>

Update: Schwartz Family
by Gonzalez, Joshua 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

Dear ChE Community, It is with a heavy heart that I inform you all that our colleague Melissa Schwartz has experienced the loss of her husband, Kenny Schwartz, who passed away suddenly yesterday. Kenny was a part of our Purdue community and worked as a Birck engineering staff member. Melissa appreciates all of your thoughts and prayers for her and her family during this stressful time. I shall provide an update once I receive any information on what the family plans for arrangements. Thus far our School plans to have a card in the main office and will also be accepting voluntary donations for the Schwartz's family if it is within your desire. We will be sure to notify everyone once these plans are implemented and ready. Sincerely, Joshua --- [Davidson_H-Full-CMYK_1200px] Joshua Gonzalez Operations Coordinator [Phone_1D_11x16px] (765) 494-4365 | [Fax_1D_16x16px] (765) 494-0805
