The discipline rankings are based entirely on peer evaluations, whereas the college rankings are a combination of peer and recruiter assessments, along with a variety of performance-based factors.

A new process for coating copper nanowires with graphene - an ultrathin layer of carbon – lowers resistance and heating, suggesting potential applications in computer chips and flexible displays.

A relentless global effort to shrink transistors has made computers continually faster, cheaper and smaller over the last 40 years. This effort has enabled chipmakers to double the number of transistors on a chip roughly every 18 months--a trend referred to as Moore's Law.

The Society for Imaging Science & Technology bestows the award to an individual in recognition of outstanding service to a Chapter or to the Society. Professor Allebach was recognized for creating the new Electronic Imaging Conference Measuring, Modeling, and Reproducing Material Appearance.

Nate's dissertation is "A Platform for Practical Nanophotonics: Nitrides and Oxides for Integrated Optical Devices". He is advised by Professor Alexandra Boltasseva.

Professors Dimitrios Peroulis and Babak Ziaie are among ten researchers who have copyrighted work in 2013-2014 through the Purdue Research Foundation's Office of Technology Commercialization.

AccuPS is working on a 3-D human-computer user interface device that can pair with a Bluetooth-enabled device for integrating family-oriented entertainment systems.

Spensa Technologies Inc., a precision agriculture company in Purdue Research Park led by Professor Johnny Park, has launched a new Web and mobile enabled application to help growers and consultants more efficiently scout insects, weeds and disease, identify agronomic issues and nutrient deficiencies.

At a university of 40,000 students, giving classrooms the personal feel of a small school is hard. However, despite his usual class size of 60 students, that is exactly what ECE Professor Mike Melloch does.
