[BNC-all] BNC Research Review and Open House (Oct. 10th)

[Shakouri, Ali]

Dear All,
I look forward to see you at BNC Research Review and Open House on Wednesday October 10, 2012. The agenda is given below. This is an opportunity to hear about some the latest research in the center and to interact with our students/researchers during the poster session. Dr. Supratik Guha, Director of Physical Sciences at IBM will be our keynote speaker (8:45-9:30am) and we will have a panel 2:30-3:30pm. We will hear from Beverly Davenport Sypher (Vice Provost for Academic Affairs), Melba Crawford (Associate Dean for Research in College of Engineering), Nick Giordano (Physics Head) and Anil Bajaj (Mechanical Engineering Head). The panel will give an overview of the cluster hire initiatives at Purdue and hiring priorities in various departments. They will also discuss about opportunities/challenges for interdisciplinary research. Dick Schwartz has kindly agreed to moderate the panel.
If you haven’t done so, please confirm your attendance by registering (by Monday 10/8, noon):  https://purdue.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0BxCfx2Bh0AisBL
I know everybody is very busy. Thank you very much in advance for your time.
Best regards,
Ali
