Thank you to @thespeedmixer for sponsoring PEMS'23! FlackTek Speedmixer creates dual asymmetric centrifugal mixers that spin materials simultaneously in two directions.

Pradyun Srinidhi, a PurdueAeroAstro senior, chose the AAMP-UP summer research program because of his interest in #propulsion. He is now working with Dr. Steve Son on detonation shockwaves. Stay tuned for the rest of the summer as we highlight students from this year's cohort!

Ansalma Rodriguez, UT Mech Engineering sophomore, joined AAMP-UP because of her interest in #additivemanufacturing. Following the program, she will conduct research through the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC).

.PurdueAeroAstro sophomore Reece Tippery works with Prof. Chelsea Davis on mechanical characterization of polymeric binder materials. He joined the AAMP-UP program because of his interest in exploring academic research.

Blake Boyer, a Purdue Mechanical Engineering senior, joined AAMP-UP because of his interest in the #defense industry. During his time with the program, he is testing new devices built through #additivemanufacturing.

Happy Fourth of July, #Boilermakers!

Junior PurdueAeroAstro student Kaushik Vudathu works with Prof. Brett Savoie on #energetics modeling. He joined AAMP-UP to experience lab research prior to pursuing graduate studies.

Michael Goldberg, Purdue Mechanical Engineering senior, works with Prof. Song Zhang on error detection in #3Dprinting. He chose AAMP-UP because of the connection to U.S. Army DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory employees and the impact his work could make.

Having a blast at the Gordon Research Conferences on Laser Diagnostics catching up with friends and former students! Great talk by SpearrinLab on MHz laser absorption!

.PurdueAeroAstro senior Alexander Loney works on characterization and #additivemanufacturing with Prof. Steve Son. His desire to explore research and graduate school led him to AAMP-UP.

Sarah Gover, a sophomore in Mechanical Engineering at USC, is working with Prof. Chelsea Davis on energetic material binders. She joined AAMP-UP because of her interest in materials engineering and desire to make connections within the @DeptofDefense.

Ben Roeder, PurdueAeroAstro senior, works with Prof. Song Zhang on detecting and correcting defects in #3Dprinting of #energeticmaterials. He joined AAMP-UP because of the research and networking opportunities.

Will Strutton chose AAMP-UP because of the program's novel #energeticmaterials research. He works with Prof. Steve Beaudoin on #additivemanufacturing of mock energetic materials.

Joshua Wu uses computational chemistry to simulate chemical reactions and create reaction networks for #energeticmaterials. Participating in AAMP-UP has inspired him to consider graduate school.

Congrats to Eric Williamson who recently finished up his MS in PurdueAeroAstro working with myself and Steve Son. Some really solid experimental work, which I hope we can share with everyone soon. @purdueme is getting a great PhD student this fall.

PERC is excited to welcome Daniel Guildenbecher, who specializes in #energeticmaterials detection and combustion. Guildenbecher was previously at Sandia National Laboratories and presented his work at PEMS'23 in June!

PERC is hosting an Energetics Talent Showcase May 28-30. PERC-ETS is a conference to connect talented, clearable students and postdocs to the defense community. Learn more and register here: engineering.purdue.edu/Energetics/PER…

There's still time to register for the PERC Energetics Talent Showcase! Students from across the country will be presenting on topics such as novel materials, diagnostics, modeling/simulation & manufacturing. engineering.purdue.edu/Energetics/PER…
