New Screen in ARMS 2326
by Maddison DeLaney Walsh 15 Sep '25

15 Sep '25

Good Morning, ARMS 2326 got an upgrade! The projector has been replaced with a TV screen. A connection cord now runs from the screen to the table for easy access, and adapters are available at the front desk if needed. A remote control is on the way—slightly lost in transit—but the TV can be turned on and off using the buttons on the side in the meantime. As always, please remember to treat the conference room with care and switch off the TV when you’re finished. Thank you, Maddi Walsh Senior Administrative Assistant School of Materials Engineering Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering Office: 765-496-0460 [cid:5f0e561d-41eb-47ef-8049-3516b81e0844]<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefens…>

by Lisa A Stacey 12 Sep '25

12 Sep '25

Good Morning, Forwarding on behalf of Dr. Bryan Huey, Professor and Blacutt-Underwood Head of Materials Engineering, for your information: Lisa Stacey Lead Administrative Assistant School of Materials Engineering Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering o: 765-494-4095 f: 765-494-1204 [3749DD84]<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefens…> ________________________________ Subject: Invitation | NTU Singapore CoE Faculty Recruitment Talk at Purdue University - October 2 & 3, 2025 Dear Professor Huey and Professor Bahr, Greetings! My name is Aikland and I am writing to you on behalf of the College of Engineering (CoE) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. We are organising an exclusive faculty recruitment presentation at Purdue University on October 2 & 3, 2025, as part of our global faculty recruitment outreach initiative in the U.S. from September to November. This initiative reflects our commitment to partnering with the world's renowned universities in the fields of Chemistry and Engineering sciences, including Purdue University, to create exceptional career pathways for top-tier academic talent. We also believe that providing Purdue University's outstanding postdoctoral researchers and graduating PhD students with access to premier international academic opportunities not only serves their career aspirations but also enhances Purdue's global academic standing through the international success of its graduates. Event Details and Registration The session will include a recruitment presentation by our CoE faculty representatives, followed by informal interviews with interested candidates. Programme Date Time: Room Venue Main Venue Recruitment Presentation (Day 1, AM) Networking & 1:1 Interview (Day 1, PM)* Thursday, October 2, 2025 10:00am - 4:30pm Room BRK 1001 Birck Nanotechnology Center, 1205 W State St, West Lafayette, IN 47907 1:1 Interview (Day 2, AM)* Friday, October 3, 2025 8:00am - 10:00am Room BRK 2001 *Note: Recruitment sessions like this will usually be met with a high volume of participants. We strive to conduct as many 1:1 informal interviews with as many candidates as possible. However, if we're unable to meet with every candidate, we will continue to engage with potential candidates beyond the recruitment talk through an online interview after the recruitment sessions. Registration Link: https://forms.office.com/r/7ympNXtHDA<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.off…> Registration Deadline: September 24, 2025 Interested participants are reminded to send us a copy of their CV to CoEFacultyRecruit(a)ntu.edu.sg<mailto:CoEFacultyRecruit@ntu.edu.sg> (cc: Dean, College of Engineering at D-CoE(a)ntu.edu.sg<mailto:D-CoE@ntu.edu.sg>) after they have registered for the event. The programme (i.e. venue and timing) will be shared with registered participants closer to the event date. We would greatly appreciate your support in promoting (circulating) this exclusive opportunity to your department's graduating PhD students and postdoctoral researchers who are actively exploring academic career opportunities. Why This Opportunity Matters to Them The global academic landscape is rapidly evolving, with Asia emerging as a dynamic hub for cutting-edge research and innovation. As they consider their next career steps, this presents a unique opportunity to: * Launch their academic career at one of the world's largest and most prestigious Engineering colleges. * Join a vibrant research ecosystem in Singapore, which is consistently ranked among the top global innovation hubs. * Establish themselves as a pioneering researcher in one of Asia's fastest-growing and most advanced economies. What We Offer NTU Singapore's College of Engineering currently has over 50 faculty positions available across five Engineering schools, namely: 1. School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (CCEB)<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ntu.e…> 2.

Hello and Good morning! Welcome back to a brand-new week. I hope you enjoyed a much-needed extended weekend and feel refreshed for the week! As we have entered a new academic year, we want to make sure that we are staying up to date with our office spaces. For this to happen, we must conduct an office space inventory beginning tomorrow, Sept 3rd, 2025, and are asking for your help. We ask that if you currently have a reserved space: 1. Please make sure that your name plate/tag is placed where it can be easily spotted on the desk. 2. Make sure your name plate/tag is placed at the desk assigned to you. 3. If you have moved to another area, please email me so that I can update our records. We would really like to complete this task as quickly as possible so that we can provide workspace for those who need them. As always, you have questions, concerns, or comments, don't hesitate to reach out or stop by. Have an amazing day and week! Grace and Blessings, Andriana Williams Andriana Williams Senior Administrative Assistant School of Materials Engineering<https://engineering.purdue.edu/MSE> Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering o: 765-494-4100 f: 765-494-1204 [3749DD84]<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefens…>
