Office Space Inventory Check
by Andriana Tiara Williams 02 Sep '25

02 Sep '25

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…>

Good Morning, We are trying to track down a missing package delivered to MSE on 8/19, from METCO, that should have gone to Benjamin Lam. It was never logged on our incoming package/sign-out sheet in the mail area, but shows delivered on the 19th. If you, or someone from your group accidentally grabbed it, either in MSE mail area, or ARMS loading dock, please return to Ben or the front office to be redirected as soon as possible. Thank you for your assistance, and please always remember to double-check names on incoming deliveries, and utilize the package sign-out sheet.

Participants will work in teams to address a problem of their choice in materials science or chemistry using modern LLMs. The event will also feature tutorials on the latest developments by leaders in the field and online mentoring sessions to help teams overcome challenges. Large Language Models (LLMs) have recently captured the attention of scientists worldwide, with studies highlighting their potential in chemistry and materials science. To explore these possibilities, the University of Chicago (with NSF support) organized the first hackathon in 2023<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpubs.rsc.…>, featuring 14 applications published in Digital Discovery<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpubs.rsc.…>. In 2024<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org…>, the event expanded to 34 projects across seven physical sites and a virtual track, with results published on arXiv<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org…>. This year, Purdue University will host one of the in-person sites at the Burton Morgan Center for Entrepreneurship<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdue.ed…> with support from nanoHUB and the NSF FAIROS program. Lunch and refreshments will be provided. Register here<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.event…> We hope you will join us for this exciting opportunity to collaborate with experts, develop innovative ideas, and advance the application of LLMs in science.

Welcome [back?] to Materials!
by Bryan Douglas Huey 25 Aug '25

25 Aug '25

Dear MSE students, Welcome to the new academic year, after what I hope was a pleasant and productive summer. I’m especially pleased to congratulate all of our incoming students and postdocs for joining Purdue Materials. This includes 30 new graduate students, and 86 undergraduates new to Materials Engineering—our biggest incoming class ever! You are joining a thriving program, with award winning faculty and staff devoted to your success. Whether you’re about to graduate, or new to the School of Materials, I hope you will drop in on one of my office hours reserved purely for students. Come by to chat, talk materials, share your suggestions and concerns, or just enjoy the random treats I’ll be offering (Arms 2301, near the front desk). * 4-5 on the 1st Thursday of each month (starting 9/4). * 12-1 on the 3rd Wednesday of each month (starting 9/17). * Of course private meetings can be arranged when necessary. Finally, remember to watch for important announcements from our advisors, administrators, faculty, student clubs, the MSE department digest, and this email list. If we’re reaching out, it’s worth your attention—we’re talking internships and jobs, important deadlines, special seminars, etc. I wish you all a wonderful semester, and look forward to seeing you soon. Sincerely, Bryan Huey Bryan D. Huey Professor and Head, School of Materials Purdue University, College of Engineering
