A banner highlighting $1.3 billion in facilities investments in recently completed, ongoing and planned capital projects is displayed on construction fencing at the new data science facility. Banners showing the major capital project map are being placed outside some of the facilities investments, which align closely with the university's
strategic initiatives, national security and technology, digital agriculture, transformative education, athletics and the university-wide Action Council on Student Housing and Wellbeing.
The COVID-19 pandemic put a spotlight on the vaccine supply chain and public health impact of vaccine stability. But Purdue University researchers have been working on the problem for years — using rocket science to advance a freeze-drying technology that lengthens product shelf life. And that technology could soon be available in the marketplace.
Amey Luktuke, a graduate research assistant in materials engineering at Purdue, recently defended his PhD thesis addressing the effects of miniaturization of electronic devices. In simple terms, in smartphones, computers and other electronic devices, there are multiple components including microchips, transistors and more.
Tongcang Li, a Purdue professor of physics and astronomy and electrical and computer engineering, has been named to the 2023 cohort of Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Experimental Physics Investigators. The honor, which includes a $1.25 million grant over the next five years, is intended to address gaps in the funding landscape in the United States that limit the rate of discovery in the physical sciences.
A select group of Purdue students learned the basics of semiconductor design and manufacturing while participating in the STARS summer program, all in an effort to build the skills necessary to land internships with the industry-leading companies who sponsored the program.
