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.)

Meet Sophia Jarc!

Yu was recognized by the International Ergonomics & Human Factors Association (IEA) at their triennial congress in Jeju, Korea.

The School of Industrial Engineering at Purdue University currently has the following openings:

The project is a collaboration led by Professor Shaoting Lin of Michigan State University, and co-PI's Professor Wei Li of Stony Brook University and Yu She of Purdue's School of Industrial Engineering.

This summer marked the beginning of the PODAS project, as it welcomed its first-ever interns, Eashvar Srinivasan from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and Jaewon Choi Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH). Their work offers novel insights into the dynamics of of satellites and debris in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) systems.

Robert Dittus (BSIE '73), MD, MPH, is a member of the School of Industrial Engineering Advisory Council. Dittus has been honored with the 2024 David M. Worthen Career Achievement Award by the Department of Veteran's Affairs.

The award will help Yu and his team research robotic strawberry harvesting with tactile-enhanced grasping and legged locomotion, which may help address labor shortages in agricultural settings.

Professor Gary Cheng has been named the Best Author Award by the International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing (IJEM) in 2024. This prestigious recognition honors his team's multiple submission, based on their groundbreaking work on scalable laser nanomanufacturing platforms for producing nanoalloys.
