2005 Purdue–Silicon Valley Symposia
Investing in Infinite Possibilities
The 2005 Purdue-Silicon Valley Symposia are a series of monthly technical seminars
introducing alumni and corporate friends in California's Silicon Valley to exciting research
taking place at Purdue. These talks highlight areas of new opportunity for Silicon Valley
investors and Purdue faculty to join forces in their common pursuit of field-defining research
and educational innovation.
Check out the Purdue-Silicon Valley Symposia 2005 schedule
and mark your calendars. This year we continue the symposia theme "Investing in Infinite Possibilities,"
symbolized by the infinity emblem. The emblem represents the infinite possibilities of a multidisciplinary
approach that teams industry with Purdue researchers to solve problems from the subatomic level to the
large-scale, socio-technical problems that challenge civilization at the global level.
These seminars focus on topics within Purdue Engineering's signature areas,
providing opportunities to network with Purdue alumni and faculty and discover infinite possibilities
for collaboration between Silicon Valley and Purdue. For an overview of past events, please see
last year's speakers and topics.
