Truskett, Chair McKetta Department of Chemical Engineering University of Texas at Austin "Inverse Design of Interactions for Assembly" Tuesday, March 1, 2016 3:00 - 4:15 p.m. FRNY G140 Reception at 2:30 p.m. in Henson Atrium Abstract: Nanometer-scale, colloidally-stable particles suspended in a fluid can be driven to assemble into a wide variety of different structures depending on the control parameters of the system and the nature of the effective interparticle interactions. In many cases, the relevant interactions are tunable via external fields, physical or chemical modification of the particle surfaces, or changes in the composition of the suspending solvent. In this talk, we explore simple models for the 'inverse' design of such interactions for cluster or superlattice forming systems. We also touch upon practical aspects associated with realizing and characterizing the designed structures. Bio: Tom Truskett is the Les and Sherri Stuewer Endowed Professor and Department Chair in Chemical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. He earned Bachelor of Science and Doctoral degrees in chemical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin and Princeton University, respectively, and was a postdoctoral fellow in biophysics at the University of California, San Francisco. In 2002, he joined the faculty of Chemical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. His group studies how interfaces and confinement impact the behavior of soft matter including molecular fluids, colloidal suspensions, protein solutions, and glasses. Tom is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineers. He is also recipient of an Alfred P.

Judges needed for the Lafayette Regional Science and Engineering Fair- March 4, 2016
by Ewing, Virginia G 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Hey everyone, It's that time of year again... The Lafayette Regional Science and Engineering Fair is upon us! (Friday, March 4) We need lots of volunteer judges, as there are 500+ students from grades 5-12 from 20 area schools. As always, a complimentary buffet dinner in the Purdue Memorial Union (4:30-5:45 pm) will precede judging in Stewart Center (6-9 pm). Top 10 reasons to judge science fair: 10) Free dinner 9) It looks great on your resume/CV 8) You might learn something (I do every year!) 7) You see some really strange projects ("How much cigarette smoke does it take to kill a plant?") 6) Kids say funny things 5) You get to relay the funny things said by kids to your friends afterwards 4) These projects are not the most sophisticated, so you will feel really smart :) 3) It's a great way to inspire young students and give back to the scientific community- They're extremely excited to talk to "real scientists"! 2) Free cookies/coffee during judging 1) All that excitement about science is contagious! Please see the attached documents for the event schedule and judging categories. Use the judging categories to help you decide which sections you might want to judge. The schedule is pretty self-explanatory. Significant others can judge too! (Remember, this is kid-level science) If you are willing to serve as a Judge this year, please register online (new this year!) using the directions below: Click HERE<http://www.sefi.org/register/judgeform.php?r=3> and fill in your information. In the "area of expertise" box, please enter up to three categories from the attached sheet that you are willing to judge. If you served previously as a special panel judge and you'd like to do so again, you can indicate that as well. (If the link above doesn't work, you copy-paste this URL http://www.sefi.org/register/judgeform.php?r=3 into your browser to navigate to the SEFI registration site) You will not get a reply email, but you will be getting more information as the date draws near. If you would like to recruit your friends, family members, or lab mates, just give them the category information and direct them to the registration link. I hope you can make it! We have a record number of projects again this year and need all the experienced judges we can get. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions. Cheers, Dr. Cynthia Stauffacher, 2016 Director and Dr. Katie Molland, 2016 Deputy Director

The kinetics of the adsorption and reduction of the palladium ions and growth of the palladium nanoparticles during the hydrothermal process will be presented. The second project focuses on the drying of sessile and pendant drops that contain a suspension of colloidal to micron-sized particles. Furthermore, the presentation will discuss the deposition of particles of different sizes near the contact line and the effect of Marangoni flow on the particle deposition.
