Meet Anna Sopena!

The Edwardson School of Industrial Engineering celebrated two remarkable faculty achievements on September 26 at Purdue University’s annual "Celebration of Teaching Excellence" awards ceremony.

Professor Shimon Y. Nof is a professor of industrial engineering at Purdue and the director of the PRISM Center (Production, Robotics and Integration Software for Manufacturing & Management).

Dr. Young-Jun Son, James J. Solberg Head and Ransburg Professor of Edwardson School of Industrial Engineering, gave the opening keynote speech on “Multi-paradigm, Online, Hierarchical Simulations to Support Process Mining” at the 2024 International Conference of Process Mining (ICPM) held in Copenhagen, Denmark, on Oct. 14-18, 2024.

Dr. Brandon Pitts, Elliott Sigal Rising Star Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering, has received the 2024 Exceptional Engagement Award presented by the Purdue Center on Aging and the Life Course (CALC). Pitts was presented this award, and delivered an acceptance speech, during the Annual CALC Symposium at Purdue on October 18, 2024.

The team has been awarded a grant from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), a part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to develop cutting-edge bioinspired wearable sensors aimed at protecting workers from injuries that occur in manual material handling (MMH) jobs.

A group of engineering professors at Purdue recently received a U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) grant for $985,000 for the team's Rapid User-centered Design and Optimization of Lab Facilities (RUDOLF) for STEM Inclusion project.
