In this episode of "This Is Purdue," we're talking to Alex Psomas, assistant professor of computer science in Purdue University's College of Science and College of Engineering.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are everywhere in our lives. LIB application fields are even growing into military missions and advanced exploration, which require resistance to severe cold in the polar region of the Earth and in outer space. But even state-of-the-art LIBs suffer from huge performance degradation as temperatures decrease, and they stop operating at all in extreme cold.

For his work in both of those co-ops, Gibson was honored with the Cooperative Education Student Achievement Award at the national Cooperative Education and Internship Association (CEIA) annual conference April 8 in Tucson, Arizona.

Purdue University researchers have developed a new type of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial called a tungsten carbide MXene. This small but mighty material could be used to produce hydrogen fuel for electric vehicles, possibly becoming the key to a more reliable future.

Purdue's College of Engineering returns to the top 5 ranking in the country in U.S. News & World Report's Best Graduate Engineering Schools survey.

The College of Engineering is pleased to announce the winners of the “Illuminate” student music video competition!

The excitement today around neural engineering is palpable, holding the promise of developing personalized treatments for neurological disorders and more options for understudied and undertreated conditions. It's this combination of engineering and medicine that captivates Damen Wilson, a third-year MD/PhD student in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering.

Purdue University proudly marked the 50th anniversary of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) National Convention, held in Chicago from March 5-9, 2025.
