David Warsinger, Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering and the Birck Nanotechnology Center, has joined CRISP as an Affiliate Faculty member. David’s research focuses on the water-energy nexus, with approaches from thermofluids and nanoengineering. He is especially interested in energy efficient and robust systems that can safeguard human health, including disinfection and agricultural water. David completed his PhD in Mechanical Engineering at MIT, and his B.S. and M.Eng at Cornell. After his PhD, David did Postdoctoral research at MIT and Yale with Meny Elimelech and Jaehong Kim.

A team of four ECE faculty members won a research award from the National Science Foundation to broaden the applicability of accelerators, like GPUs, including its reliable use under varying workload conditions. The team includes CRISP faculty members, Saurabh Bagchi, Milind Kulkarni, and Felix Lin.

Purdue ECE faculty member, Shreyas Sundaram, has joined the Center for Resilient Infrastructures, Systems, and Processes (CRISP) as Associate Director, effective August 15, 2019.

Felix Lin, Assistant Professor in ECE and CRISP Thrust Lead in Cyber-physical systems, has won the NSF CAREER award. The project titled "A Trustworthy and Verifiable Software Backplane for the Cloud Edge" is for 5 years and started June 1, 2019.

CRISP Affiliate Faculty, Shaoshuai Mou, an assistant professor in the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, has been selected as the Outstanding Faculty Mentor of Engineering Graduate Students. The award is presented annually by the College of Engineering to an individual faculty member in each School of Engineering to recognize outstanding work mentoring master’s and Ph.D. students.

Affiliate faculty, Nicolo Michelusi, is part of the Purdue team of five faculty members from ECE, one research group from Texas A&M, and a research scientist from Raytheon BBN Technologies, that is one of the 15 finalists competing in the third and final phase of DARPA’s Spectrum Collaboration Challenge (SC2).

CRISP Affiliate Faculty, Ilias Bilionis, an assistant professor in the School of Mechanical Engineering, is part of the winning team of a $15M research institute from NASA. The team, led by Shirley Dyke, will form the institute called Resilient ExtraTerrestrial Habitats (RETH).

The organizing committee members are discussing the technical topics to be addressed at the Grand Challenge workshop.

Purdue Engineering's Center for Resilient Infrastructures, Systems, and Processes (CRISP) will host an NSF-sponsored Grand Challenges in Resilience Workshop on March 20 and 21 on the Purdue campus. This will involve about 30 external attendees, Purdue's community working on resilience, and Program Managers from DOD, DOE, NSF.

The NSF-sponsored Grand Challenges in Resilience workshop is coming to Purdue on Mar 19-21. This will bring leading lights from academia, government labs, and industry working on resilience in cyber, cyber-physical, and socio-technical systems.
