Tristin Pratt MS Defense - May 5th

Tristin Pratt - MS Defense Announcement Municipal Landfill Leachate Inorganic Analysis Focusing on Detecting Valuable Metals Major Professor: Dr. Inez Hua Friday, May 5th at 1:00 PM Zoom<https://bit.ly/41wqkFJ> Ecological Sciences and Engineering Interdisciplinary Graduate Program Division of Environmental and Ecological Engineering Abstract: Recent research suggests that waste electronics thrown away by consumers could amount to $37.5M of potentially recoverable metals in single landfill. Rare and useful metals may have a large variance in presence from one landfill to another depending on factors such as age and waste management policies. The EPA in 2018 reports that 2.51 million tons of nonferrous metals are generated in MSW landfills, which could contain ample opportunity for recovering metals of high economic value. The nonferrous waste metals include waste consumer electronic devices disposed to landfills, which contain critically important and rare metals. A method to completely dissolve and analyze pumped landfill leachate resulted in quantifiable and positive detections of Platinum, (Post-) Transition, and Lanthanide group metals in the landfill leachates. Everyone is welcome! Attached is the defense announcement.

OIGP Bilsland Dissertation Fellowships 2024-2025 Nominations

07 Mar '24

Good afternoon! The Office of Interdisciplinary Graduate Programs (OIGP) would like to begin the process for awarding the Bilsland Dissertation Fellowships that were allocated to our office for the 2024-2025 year. With ESE being a part of OIGP we have the opportunity to nominate ESE students for the Bilsland. Please keep in mind that students do not apply directly for the Bilsland Fellowship, but are nominated by their major professor and selected by members of the graduate faculty in OIGP. Students do not apply directly for the Bilsland Fellowship, but are nominated by their major professor. At a minimum, the selection process considers the students' academic and scholarly achievements and the promise of degree attainment at the conclusion of the fellowship at the fellowship tenure. The stipend amount is $28,000 for 12 months. This fellowship can be broken down into what I call 5 months (Fall or Spring semester), 7 months (Summer and Fall or Spring and Summer) or the full 12 months. Students are paid bi-weekly and not monthly. NOMINATION REQUREMENTS: 1. Recipients of Bilsland Dissertation Fellowships must be enrolled as Ph.D. candidates in a degree-granting doctoral program at Purdue and have demonstrated superior academic abilities and scholarly achievements. The recipients must have completed all degree requirements, except for the dissertation. 2. The nomination must be submitted by the major professor by completing the following Qualtrics Survey<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdue.ca…>. 3. If there are more than 1 nomination per IGP, I will be in touch with the IGP Heads regarding the ranking of applicants for your individual program/areas. 4. Once the nominations are received, the OIGP will be in touch with the student for additional application materials. DEADLINE: Nominations are due on Monday, March 25th at 5:00 p.m. Please let me know if you have any questions. Sincerely, Amy Amy Ledman She/Her/Hers Lead Graduate Program Specialist - Ecological Sciences and Engineering Office of Interdisciplinary Graduate Programs - The Graduate School Schedule a meeting: calendly.com/aledman<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalendly.…>
