Two Seminar Announcements for tomorrow, Friday, Oct. 24th
by Lisa A Stacey 23 Oct '25

23 Oct '25

Forwarding on behalf of Bryan Huey, Professor and Blacutt-Underwood Head of Materials Engineering: Dear MSE colleagues, There are 2 seminars to note for this Friday. First, in our normal MSE 690 seminar series, 3:30 PM in ARMS 1010, we are hosting Partha Mukherjee, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, and Associate Head for Research, Purdue University. [cid:image003.png@01DC4401.73AC4CC0] Second, we just learned about another talk from 2-3pm on Friday in WALC 1121. John Sader, CalTech, "The Fluid-Structure Interaction of Nanoparticles." In addition to his clever research into nanoparticles being presented in this seminar, this visitor's approach to materials as a mathematician and physicist has led to, among other things, one of his advances being used in nearly all commercial AFM's in the world.

Boiler Up! From: Gradcontacts <Gradcontacts(a)LISTS.PURDUE.EDU> On Behalf Of Rachelle Swan Sent: Friday, October 17, 2025 9:11 AM To: Gradcontacts(a)LISTS.PURDUE.EDU Subject: [GRADCONTACTS] BIG10 Career Fairs NEXT WEEK! Last chance to register... Dear Grad Students, As Maya Angelou said, “Nothing will work unless you do.” Join the hundreds of other graduate students and postdocs who have already registered to explore or find their careers at the virtual BIG10 Fairs next week! Click each link below to register and add sessions. Pro Tip: Apply online for any internships or positions you are qualified for and highly interested in, as many recruiters will ask if you have and you get virtual bonus points with the recruiter if you have! Already Registered? Then your next step is to add individual or group sessions for each academy or company of interest to you. Check the attached spreadsheet with recruiter info to make sure you sign up or signed up with the right recruiters! The career fair uses the Handshake platform which Purdue does not host, so OSU has created a “workaround” for Purdue students and postdocs to still participate. I have attached the workaround protocol for you to create your profile and submit your CV. * BIG10 Academia Postdoc Hiring Fair<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgo.osu.ed…> Tuesday, October 21 | 12:00 – 3:00 PM ET Open to: PhD students and Postdocs only Explore: Postdoctoral positions nationwide * BIG10 Academia Faculty Hiring Fair<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgo.osu.ed…> Wednesday, October 22 | 12:00 – 4:00 PM ET Open to: PhD students and Postdocs only Explore: Faculty positions in all tracks * BIG10 Graduate Student & Postdoc Industry Recruitment Event (GSPIRE)<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgo.osu.ed…> Thursday, October 23 | 12:00 – 4:00 PM ET Open to: MS, PhD, and Postdoc students from all disciplines Explore: Internships and full-time careers in industry and government Missed the CV submission deadline? Good news…The Qualtrics survey is now open again until Oct 30 at 8 PM ET. If you already submitted, then no need to submit again unless you have major updates. If you missed the first deadline, then now is the time for you to submit! This book will be shared with recruiters post-fair. * Submit CV for Academia<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgo.osu.ed…> * Submit resume for GSPIRE<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgo.osu.ed…> We hope to see you next week at one or more of the BIG10 fairs.
