Mailroom is Full!
by Maddison DeLaney Walsh 26 Sep '24

26 Sep '24

Hello Everyone! This is just a friendly reminder to please pick up your package if you’ve received an email from any of the MSE staff. The mail room is currently quite full, and we appreciate your help in keeping things moving smoothly! Also, if you open a package in the mailroom, kindly remember to take the box with you and discard it elsewhere. Leaving it behind can add to the clutter, and as we all know, the space is a bit limited. Thanks, Maddi Walsh Senior Administrative Assistant School of Materials Engineering Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering Office: 765-496-0460 [cid:6aa754c2-ea11-4d87-85ef-e85dd5e54aa7]<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefens…>

Reminder!! Please RSVP. "You Can't Make It Without Materials" Mixer 2024 - Wednesday, Oct 16th @ 5:30 - PMU North Ballroom
by Contreras, Joshua Andres 26 Sep '24

26 Sep '24

Hello All, Just a Reminder to RSVP! Purdue MSE is very excited to bring back the tradition of our Annual School Mixer. As a school we are now in approximately 12 different buildings, 5 different zip codes, and two different area codes but we are still one school. We hope to see you there to mix, mingle, and celebrate together with the opportunity to potentially meet MSE Alumni, Students, Faculty, and Staff you may not know. Please RSVP by October 4th, 2024. (via QR code or Qualtrics link below) https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8wDRactr4v7RRK6<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdue.ca…> [cid:image003.png@01DB0443.BD9944E0] Thank you Josh Contreras Administrative Assistant School of Materials Engineering Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering Office: 765-494-4100 [3749DD84]<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefens…>

Seminar - Dr. David Fenning - Tuesday, Oct 1st - 3:00 p.m. - 4:15 p.m - FRNY G140
by Contreras, Joshua Andres 25 Sep '24

25 Sep '24

Hi All, Please see an upcoming seminar next week sponsored by the Davidson School of Chemical Engineering. [cid:image002.jpg@01DB0F5C.B3A478F0] Dr. David Fenning Associate Professor Department of Nano Engineering University of California San Diego Host: Dr. Letian Dou Website<https://maillinks.purdue.edu/t/46724237/1705062373/102729500/0/1006672/?x=4…> Bio: Professor David P. Fenning is the Francine Berman Professor in the Aiiso Yufeng Li Family Department of Chemical and Nano Engineering at UC San Diego. His group focuses on understanding defects and degradation reactions in energy conversion materials and devices, often working at the frontiers of synchrotron X-ray microscopy. Currently, his research involves the study of durability in high-efficiency silicon and perovskite photovoltaics and tandems, fundamentals of small molecule electrolysis, and phosphide photoelectrochemistry. He completed his Ph.D. at MIT in 2013 and then joined PV startup 1366 Technologies Inc. (now Cubic PV). After a postdoctoral fellowship at MIT, he joined the NanoEngineering department at UC San Diego in 2015. "From Robots to Synchrotrons in the Quest for Robust Phase Stability" Tuesday, October 1, 2024 3:00 p.m. - 4:15 p.m. ET FRNY G140 – Reception at 2:30 p.m. in Henson Atrium – Abstract: The outstanding optoelectronic properties of halide perovskites position them as candidate materials for solar cells, displays, and more. Their compositional and process flexibility provides a broad and attractive design space of materials chemistry and has led to exceptional optoelectronic figures of merit. However, the same flexibility also gives rise to challenges in reproducibility and phase instability. I will share our recent efforts to automate perovskite synthesis in the research environment to achieve improved synthetic control and accelerate the development of perovskite materials and devices with robust operational stability. Automation radically reduces operator- and process-induced variation and helps to reveal the underlying landscape of the materials chemistry. In addition, the ease of data collection in automated synthesis opens the door to data-driven optimization of functional properties and construction of predictive models based on the intersection of composition and process. We complement automated synthesis with X-ray nanoprobe characterization to dive into mechanisms of stability and performance improvement in frontier perovskite materials. Addressing the root causes of instability and process sensitivity will be critical to push perovskites to their fundamental material limits and harness their favorable properties for technological relevance at scale.

MSE Color Printer down for Maintenace
by Maddison DeLaney Walsh 23 Sep '24

23 Sep '24

Good Morning, The color printer in 2312 is currently down for maintenance. I will send out another note when it is up and running again. In the meantime, if you need help with printing, please email me or Josh. Note, the only other major printer we have only prints in black and white. Color will have to wait until the maintenance is complete. Thanks, Maddi Walsh Senior Administrative Assistant School of Materials Engineering Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering Office: 765-496-0460 [cid:f0f50e79-7a04-413a-a455-a981e9940d52]<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefens…>
