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…

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…

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!

Congrats to @EricW1lliams0n who recently finished up his MS in @PurdueAeroAstro working with myself and @sfson5. Some really solid experimental work, which I hope we can share with everyone soon. @purdueme is getting a great PhD student this fall.

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.

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.

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.

Have a #startup idea but not sure where to begin? Register for the Incubator's Firestarter Entrepreneurship Training. #Firestarter will help you identify/mitigate risk, identify your market and learn to communicate where your idea fits. Register today: ow.ly/9TXO50Pek1w

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.

.@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.

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

Michael Goldberg, @PurdueME senior, works with Prof. Song Zhang on error detection in #3Dprinting. He chose AAMP-UP because of the connection to @ArmyResearchLab employees and the impact his work could make.

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.

Happy Fourth of July, #Boilermakers!

Blake Boyer, a @PurdueME 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.

.@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.

Ansalma Rodriguez, @utmechengr sophomore, joined AAMP-UP because of her interest in #additivemanufacturing. Following the program, she will conduct research through the @srcorg.

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!

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