Purdue University’s College of Engineering has identified four research teams for strategic faculty hiring during the coming year. These preeminent teams, chosen from among 28 that competed this fall, were selected because their work has the potential for high impact and international preeminence. New faculty will be hired to strengthen the teams as part of the strategic growth plan, which will add more than one hundred faculty members over five years. In addition to the team hiring, other hires will be related to strengthening disciplines and taking advantage of opportunities to enhance quality and diversity. The strategic growth plan is part of Big Moves, a range of university-wide initiatives designed to broaden Purdue's global impact and enhance educational opportunities for its students. The preeminent team on nanomanufacturing is based at the Birck Nanotechnology Center at Purdue’s Discovery Park. The focus is on Scalable Manufacturing of Aware and Responsive Thin (SMART) films for broad applications in health, energy, agriculture and pharmacy.
