December 20, 2024

Welcome to PARI 2024, The Year in Review. This collection of articles and highlights from this year underscores the impressive, vast array of research taking place at the Purdue Applied Research Institute (PARI). And the recognition in various news outlets throughout the year is a testament to our ever-growing scope and impact. 

 Launched in 2021, PARI provides infrastructure and high-level facilities to support mission-critical efforts of federal agencies and industry and nongovernmental organizations. The research profiled in this edition shows how the endeavors of PARI researchers this year help shape the future by developing innovative solutions to worldwide problems.

PARI’s laboratories – Hypersonics, Infrastructure Innovation, Micorelectronics, and Tech Acceleration and Innovation – have had a remarkable year of growth and development. I hope you all take pride in what you see here. I look forward to even more and greater accomplishments in 2025.
