Meet Kapil Manicka!

The Edwardson School of Industrial Engineering celebrated two remarkable faculty achievements on September 26 at Purdue University’s annual "Celebration of Teaching Excellence" awards ceremony.

Professor Shimon Y. Nof is a professor of industrial engineering at Purdue and the director of the PRISM Center (Production, Robotics and Integration Software for Manufacturing & Management).

Dr. Brandon Pitts, Elliott Sigal Rising Star Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering, has received the 2024 Exceptional Engagement Award presented by the Purdue Center on Aging and the Life Course (CALC). Pitts was presented this award, and delivered an acceptance speech, during the Annual CALC Symposium at Purdue on October 18, 2024.

The team has been awarded a grant from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), a part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to develop cutting-edge bioinspired wearable sensors aimed at protecting workers from injuries that occur in manual material handling (MMH) jobs.

A group of engineering professors at Purdue recently received a U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) grant for $985,000 for the team's Rapid User-centered Design and Optimization of Lab Facilities (RUDOLF) for STEM Inclusion project.

Meet Addison Clauss!

The PODAS project invites applications for two PhD positions focused on developing stochastic models to predict the evolution of the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) environment.

Brandon Pitts, Elliott Sigal Rising Star Associate Professor and Wenzhuo Wu, Professor of Industrial Engineering have been invited to the prestigious 3rd annual symposium, which brings together outstanding scientists from the two continents to share and discuss their work.

The School of Industrial Engineering is proud to welcome outstanding new faculty members, Zaiwei Chen, Congfang Huang and April Savoy, who have joined us this fall, and Liwei Jiang and Miaolan Xie, who will join us in the fall of 2025.

The international Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) recently held its annual international meeting ASPIRE (Advance Systems and Practices through Innovation, Research and Education.)
