Gozdem Kilaz, associate professor of engineering technology, received Purdue Polytechnic’s Outstanding Faculty in Discovery Award. Much of Kilaz’ research has focused on alternative liquid transportation fuels, including development, testing and approval of biofuels.
Students use capstone course to redesign municipal park
Addie Rose, Ethan Clark, Matthew Wair and Kaitlyn Jurgens, students at Purdue Polytechnic Richmond, redesigned a municipal park for a computer graphics technology capstone project.
Paving the way for skin-compatible sensors for personal health monitoring
Sunghwan Lee, assistant professor of engineering technology, Michael Clevenger, engineering technology graduate student, Hyeonghun Kim, postdoctoral research assistant, and colleagues at the Korea Research Institute of Standard and Science identified a better way to directly fabricate sensors onto ready-made wearable items, such as clothing, gloves, or even disposable masks that can successfully extract bioinformation in real time, with remarkable precision. The research represents an advancement in the development of versatile healthcare devices printed directly onto ready-made clothing that can be worn comfortably by the patient, which ultimately will make these devices more effective.
National Aviation Symposium
The Purdue University School of Aviation and Transportation Technology is convening a new, National Symposium to address the rapidly re-approaching shortage of pilots and aircraft maintenance technicians. Unless these shortages are addressed, the aviation industry will suffer a human resource crisis well into the future.

Future Work and Learning research projects focus on all human-technology interactions
Since 2018, Purdue Polytechnic faculty have been collaborating to explore the intersection between learning and work within the context of technology. Through new approaches to education and workforce training and development, their ongoing “Future Work and Learning” research aims to empower employees to take charge of their careers and become active, successful professionals and members of society.
Major multidisciplinary research partnership with Peruvian university gets ready for third phase
A delegation from the Universidad Nacional de San Agustín (UNSA) in Arequipa, Peru, visited Purdue University’s West Lafayette campus in October to prepare for the third phase of a major multidisciplinary research partnership. Purdue Polytechnic’s Daniel Leon-Salas, who served as one of the delegation’s hosts, is developing a low-cost, portable sensor to measure photosynthetically active solar radiation to help farmers and plant growers to assess the solar resources available to them.

Student team wins Conexus Indiana National Collegiate Case Competition
Purdue Polytechnic Anderson’s Austin Bronnenberg, Andrew Oakley, Keegan Stewart and Jackson Vieth were among winners in the sixth annual Conexus Indiana National Collegiate Case Competition, which challenged students to solve one of two advanced manufacturing and logistics business cases.
Flexible materials and 3D printing – the next generation of additive manufacturing
Soft actuators, components in mechanical devices that enable movement, are inspired by biological systems but can’t yet replicate the complexity of the human body. Purdue Polytechnic’s David Gonzalez Rodriguez is researching the creation of 3D-printed flexible structures that can function as soft actuators and sensors.
