A new hydraulic machine with an integrated 3-D Microscopic Digital Image Correlation (3D-DIC) system is facilitating faster and more accurately measured experiments for Ayhun Ince's research in the unification of computational models with various scale lengths to predict the growth of fatigue cracks in metals.

Companies use a concept called open innovation to expand beyond in-house research and development and to use external sources to find new technologies, develop new products and services, or to launch new platforms. "The Smart Way to Open Your Innovation Process," a recent joint study by Purdue University's Research Center for Open Digital Innovation and global professional services company Accenture, noted that large companies embrace open innovation but do not always utilize it strategically.

Dongjun Bang, a postdoctoral research assistant in the School of Engineering Technology, wants to advance the world’s understanding of the mechanics of fractures.

A Purdue Polytechnic Institute professor’s research on soft robotics could identify a new way to entice more women to consider STEM-related careers.

Todd Kelley, associate professor of engineering technology teacher education, works with groups of science and technology teacher pairs from the same K-12 schools to demonstrate how integrating STEM topics improves student understanding, specifically using biomimicry to illustrate engineering design concepts.

Mayari Serrano’s research projects tend to focus on the intersection of one’s hands and technology.

Daniel Leon-Salas, associate professor of engineering technology, wants his camera’s light sensor to do more. His research focuses on using the light sensor as a type of solar cell that can harvest energy when it isn’t capturing images. With this advance, cameras could produce their own energy, making it easier to deploy these sensors with less infrastructure.

The diversity of research options led Gozdem Kilaz to chemical engineering, leading to projects in which she has collaborated with colleagues around the world.

Two Purdue research projects won awards at the 2015 University Aviation Association (UAA) Fall Education Conference in Snowbird, Utah.
