by Raman, Arvind 01 Sep '15

01 Sep '15

Dear Colleagues interested in International Development, I am delighted to announce that Alexander Moseson, PhD, has accepted our offer to be GEP's next Managing Director. A brief CV in narrative is appended below. Alex will start at Purdue March 7, 2016. In this role Alex will work with campus partners to help grow international research and engagement programs for the College of Engineering. This includes: helping grow R and D funding for international development from federal/international agencies/philanthropic organizations; helping grow engineering faculty research collaboration overseas (Europe, Asia, Latin America etc.) by leveraging external funding opportunities; and developing other strategic international partnerships such as for capacity building etc. I am very grateful to the search committee consisting of Gary Burniske, Melba Crawford, Jess Lowenberg de Boer, John Lumkes, and Joe Pekny for their insight and help in this process, and to the many faculty and staff who helped in the interviews. Please join me in welcoming Alex to Purdue, Regards, Arvind [Inline image 1] Alexander J. Moseson, Ph.D.<http://www.linkedin.com/in/alexmoseson/> is a global development engineer and entrepreneur. Currently an AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellow<http://www.aaas.org/program/science-technology-policy-fellowships> at the US Agency for International Development (USAID), he is part of the Higher Education Solutions Network (HESN)<http://www.usaid.gov/hesn> program within the US Global Development Lab<http://www.usaid.gov/GlobalDevLab>. In that role he facilitated strategic planning for the annual budget of major federal programs, catalyzed MIT's International Development Innovation Network (IDIN) - including acting as a Design Facilitator in Botswana<https://www.idin.org/blog-news-events/blog/meet-jacob-camm-botswana> - and supported MSU's Global Center for Food Systems Innovation (GCFSI). He further co-led the HESN student engagement working group, served on the core team for the forthcoming Global Innovation Exchange<http://www.globalinnovationexchange.com/>, and represented USAID on the White House (OSTP) inter-agency working group for Making. Prior to joining USAID, Alex developed sustainable technology and entrepreneurship on four continents having been inspired by service following Hurricane Katrina. An interdisciplinary engineer, he earned a joint B.S. (Mechanical Engineering) / M.S. (Materials Science & Engineering), then Ph.D. (Mechanical Engineering; committee of four departments) as an NSF Graduate Research Fellow at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA. With over $200K in funding, his programs benefited Tanzania (low-cost lathe), India and the USA (affordable "green" cement), and Thailand (upland agriculture and water) - the latter supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (Magazine cover story<https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2eaQQeFyISTSy1ObHFrNnQwSDQ>; trailer for 40m professional documentary<http://youtu.be/J4FgfEL_urg>). He also co-created the Technology Seeding development framework, a course on sustainable engineering, and has been featured in national TV, radio, and print. He derives professional value from his personal pursuits in the performing arts, videography, and photography.

I2D-list Innovation in International Development (I2D) Lab Meetings Fall 2015
by Raman, Arvind 25 Aug '15

25 Aug '15

Colleagues, In September 2015, UN member countries will adopt a new set of sustainable development goals (SDGs) that will transform the world by 2030. They will guide global efforts to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, ensure healthy lives and quality education, empower all women and girls, ensure access to water and sanitation and access to affordable, sustainable energy for all, build resilient infrastructure and promote sustainable industrialization. I2D was launched in March this year to facilitate ENGR faculty and students interested in R and D and translational impact in these areas. Since Spring 2015 a group of interested faculty in ENGR have been meeting on a monthly basis with other colleagues on campus (from Center for Global Food Security, Global Sustainability Institute, Burton Morgan Center for Entrepreneurship etc.) to discuss funding opportunities with USAID and other Foundations. One of the recommendations from faculty was to use these meetings to learn more about what each other's interests are in this area. I am glad to announce the fall semester schedule for the I2D Lab regular meetings. Several ENGR faculty have agreed to talk about their ongoing R and D in low and middle income countries in areas as diverse as Water and Sanitation, Energy, Labor saving innovations, Global health, Information and Communication Technologies. All meetings will be held from 12:00 to 1:30pm in WANG 2501. Lunch will be provided for all meetings. To ensure sufficient quantities, please RSVP to Tami Sells (tsells(a)purdue.edu<mailto:tsells@purdue.edu>). We are still looking for speakers for some slots this semester, if you are interested please let us know. A schedule of presentations follows and is attached. I hope to see you at the meetings! Meeting format: 12:00pm I2D Lab announcements - funding opportunities, upcoming campus visitors and events, etc. 12:15pm Specific project presentations and discussions from ENGR faculty (titles below) 1:00pm Roundtable updates from all in attendance Wednesday, September 2 Yuehwern Yih, Humanitarian response and supply chain management Chad Jafvert & John Howarter, Medium capacity slow sand filters & Smart phone-based spectrophotometer+turbidity meter for water testing Thursday, September 17 Jacqueline Linnes, Point-of-care detection of neonatal sepsis You-Yeon Won, Development of a cost effective treatment for neonatal RDS in low-resource countries Tuesday, September 29 John Lumkes, Practical Utility Platform (PUP) To be announced Wednesday, October 14 Jennifer DeBoer, Engineering skills curriculum and digital materials for out of school youth To be announced Tuesday, October 27 To be announced To be announced Wednesday, November 11 Chad Jafvert & John Howarter*, Medium capacity slow sand filters & Smart phone-based spectrophotometer+turbidity meter for water testing Yuehwern Yih, Humanitarian response and supply chain management Thursday, December 10 Jacqueline Linnes, Point-of-care detection of neonatal sepsis Jennifer DeBoer, Engineering skills curriculum and digital materials for out of school youth _____________________________________________________
