Hello MSE grad students and postdocs, In case you're interested in learning more about AFM, meeting others who use these microscopes from across campus, and/or just would like a nice lunch-and-learn opportunity as the semester winds down, today is the deadline to sign up for the on-campus workshop outlined below. I'm always happy to talk about the topic, so you don't need to hit my presentation, but there are other great things happening at Purdue and this is an easy opportunity to expand your knowledge and network. Best, Bryan Bryan D. Huey, Professor Blacutt-Underwood Head of the School of Materials Engineering Purdue University, College of Engineering ________________________________ From: Matt Garcia <Matt.GARCIA@oxinst.com> Sent: Friday, April 24, 2026 11:32 AM Subject: Last Day to Register for the Lunch and Learn at Purdue University Some people who received this message don't often get email from matt.garcia@oxinst.com. Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification> ---- External Email: Use caution with attachments, links, or sharing data ---- Dear Purdue Faculty and Students, You are warmly invited to attend the Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) Lunch-n-Learn, hosted by Oxford Instruments Asylum Research in collaboration with Purdue University. This event will highlight the powerful capabilities of Atomic Force Microscopy beyond nanoscale imaging. Join applications specialist Will Linthicum for an overview of AFM modes, including the underlying theory and practical demonstrations of how these techniques are used to characterize nanoscale surface, mechanical, and electrical properties. You will also hear how Purdue researchers are leveraging AFM to advance their work. Registration is free, but seating is limited. Please register by April 24, 2026. Lunch and light refreshments will be provided while supplies last. Date: Thursday, April 30, 2026 (10:00 AM – 2:00 PM) Location: Herbert C.
