Now in its second year, a student-run consulting organization called Purdue Solutions continues to gain recognition on and off campus.

Purdue Ag-celerator, a plant sciences innovation fund, awarded a total of $100,000 in investments to Gen3Bio Inc., an enzymolysis process that produces biochemicals through algae extraction, and Progeny, an image processing software designed to convert rapidly drone images into crop management data.

Three Purdue startups received a total of $240,000, earning them “Gold Award” investment status from the Elevate Purdue Foundry Fund, officials announced Monday (Jan. 22).

A Purdue University-affiliated startup is designing next-generation hardware and software for deep learning aimed at enabling computers to understand the world in the same way humans do.

Researchers have demonstrated how to create a super-strong aluminum alloy that rivals the strength of stainless steel, an advance with potential industrial applications.

Jooyoung Lee, a PhD student in Professor Inseok Hwang’s research group, has received a “Best Student Paper” award from the 2018 SciTech Forum Intelligent Systems conference.

Motorists enjoying days of above-freezing temperatures after shivering through frigid single digits may encounter a jarring reality by spring.

Purdue University researchers and industry leaders are teaming up to transform the freeze-drying process, formally known as lyophilization, used to make everything from lifesaving drugs and biotech products to foods.

Researchers are applying the same “hydrodynamic transport model” used to study flow in fluids to explain heat transport in a solid semiconductor, with potential implications for the design of high-speed transistors and lasers.

Purdue University is part of a team led by the University of Dayton Research Institute, funded with a $9.8 million, three-year contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory, for research and development in materials and structures for reusable hypersonic vehicles.
