Researchers at Purdue University are working toward a solution to help minimize risks associated with power outages caused by severe weather events, such as the recent series of Atlantic hurricanes that devastated several nations.

ALGETEC, a leading Brazilian company in the engineering education field, officially opened their U.S. branch, called ALGETEC USA in West Lafayette, Indiana with assistance from the Purdue Foundry.

Purdue University researchers pursuing a way to repurpose high-definition Blu-ray technology, popular for watching videos and listening to music, to diagnose early-stage cancers and monitor their treatments have received nearly $200,000 in state and federal grants.

Congratulations to Purdue Nuclear Engineering undergraduate student Catalin Harabagiu who recently received two scholarships from the American Nuclear Society (ANS) totaling $7,000.

Davidson School of Chemical Engineering is pleased to welcome three new faculty members for 2017-2018. Dr. Letian Dou, Dr. Vivek Narsimhan, and Dr. Brett Savoie joined the faculty as assistant professors in August 2017.

AAE Profs. Wenbin Yu, Byron Pipes and Johnathan Goodsell served as chairs as Purdue hosted the American Society for Composites (ASC) Annual Technical Conference Oct. 23-25. More than 400 people attended the event.

A system under development at Purdue University uses artificial intelligence to detect cracks captured in videos of nuclear reactors and represents a future inspection technology to help reduce accidents and maintenance costs.

Researchers have demonstrated how to decode what the human brain is seeing by using artificial intelligence to interpret fMRI scans from people watching videos, representing a sort of mind-reading technology.
