Lilly Endowment Inc. has approved grants totaling $100 million to Purdue Research Foundation to support two major Purdue University initiatives, which together will elevate the university, its students and faculty and accelerate new investments in Indiana’s workforce and economy. Funding includes $50 million each to support the Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. School of Business and Purdue Computes, both of which were identified last year by Purdue as top strategic initiatives for the university. Together, these commitments represent the largest gift in the university’s history.
Using a range of tools and filters on the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers are getting their clearest look ever at Cassiopeia A. Astronomer Danny Milisavljevic, an associate professor of physics and astronomy in Purdue’s College of Science, led an international team of researchers on a project to study the supernova remnant.
A new $2.4 million grant from the National Institutes of Health will fund research led by a faculty member in the College of Veterinary Medicine’s Department of Comparative Pathobiology. The research is aimed at shedding light on a significant new health threat that involves an emerging multi-drug-resistant fungal pathogen.
Researchers at Purdue are working to develop a new approach to performing attosecond spectroscopy by generating light made of quantum entangled photons at extreme-ultraviolet and X-ray wavelengths. Because this work could potentially push the limits of what is currently possible in attosecond science, the team has been awarded a $1.2 million W.M. Keck Foundation grant.
Capturing the essence of academic and research achievements, student life, and unforgettable moments of 2023, our photo and video gallery presents some of the highlights that define another remarkable year at Purdue.
