From the heart of the jungle comes a savage cry of victory. This is Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle. From the black core of dark Africa, land of enchantment, mystery and violence comes one of the most colorful figures of all time. Transcribed from the immortal pen of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Tarzan, the bronzed white son of the jungle. And now in the very words of Mr. Burroughs, the story of Tarzan and the pirates of Cape Bandera. For some weeks Tarzan had been working on the small boat he kept near his seacoast cabin. The sails had been mended, the seams caulked and the deck and cabin revarnished. Now his mighty muscles bulged as he carried aboard casks of drinking water and great hampers of provisions. Suddenly his nostrils quivered and his eyes darted to the shore for the scent of a gomongani and native was mingled with the salt hair. His hand moved instinctively to his great hunting knife. But the hand relaxed and the tenseness disappeared as he recognized the poignant native who stepped from the brush onto the narrow strip of beach. Not by Nathisa. I'm out here on the dock. Go away. Yes, Nathisa. Yes, I've planned for a long time to take my tiny vessel around the Cape and up the eastern coast. Cape of good hope many moons distance. Is dangerous trip for small boat? Well, I've never been particularly noted for avoiding danger. But I think the sea will offer fewer enemies in the jungle. No, Tarzan cannot go. Not now. Oh, I suppose I can't go because I'm needed here, huh? All right, Nathisa. Tell me why you have come. What troubles are the people of Pugna now? Oogano not agree who own three-head cattle with Carrogo.  Suey throw mud on clean wash of Zareba. Chief say to Nathisa, get Tarzan. Bring back to settle trouble. Nathisa, your report of the terrible troubles of the Pugna tribe makes me more resolved than ever to leave on this trip. I'm afraid I've taken too much responsibility for your people. I weaken them by making all their decisions. But what they do? They will settle their own disputes. Now I know how a president feels when he leaves on a vacation or a king when he hands the reins to a prime minister. Yes, Nathisa, I'm leaving on a vacation. Tarzan, take Nathisa with him on occasion. Well, if the messenger they sent for me doesn't return, they'll surely have to settle their own problems. You take Nathisa, huh? You shall be first mate, second mate, chief cook, and crew. Nathisa, I know a lovely spot on the coast. A narrow strip of land that's completely secluded. The fish grow larger, the wild fruit richer, and the ocean bluer. For once, I shall know peace at Cape Bandara. But even as Tarzan and Nathisa sailed in the direction of the beautiful Cape, the same narrow strip of land was being discussed in a waterfront dive in Tarak, melting part of the roughest collection of semen from Singapore to Caracas. Who ever heard of sailing out of Cape Bandara? There's no trade there, Mr. Gottliff. You're so right, Captain Hill. Even the few natives who used to live there have moved to the main movement. So why should we pick that deserted place for our home port? You'll find out in good time. I'll know before I sign. What ports are called and what cargo? We'll sail any place where they'll buy merchandise without asking questions. And our cargo will consist of whatever we find in the holes of the native dowels that ply the coast. Pirating, Mr. Gottliff? Are you too relivered for that business? No. I'll do anything for money. But I'm not running a pirate ship for regular skippers' wages. You want Captain Halk, it'll be double wages and shares. Double wages and shares, it'll be for you and your crew. Can you get the men you'll need? I can pick them all up on the waterfront before nightfall. I look for only three features in a privateer. Three features? Holes in the soles of their shoes, scars on their faces, and big hands. Huh? It works out.  The scars prove he's been in a knife fight or two and he's been the one to walk away. And the big hands guarantee that he can throttle a man without giving him time to let out a squawk. When do we sail, Mr. Gottliff? As soon as the guns and ammunition's are brought to the dock. That'll be shortly after dark. I'll have my crew ready. Now you know why I shall let it a lonely spot like Port Bandera is a base. No one will interfere with our little game there. Heaven help anyone who tries. With a crew of cutthroats, we'll have a board. We'll continue with our story in just a moment. Many moons had passed and Tarzan and Natesa had rounded the southern tip of Africa and it progressed as far as the harbor of Tarak on the eastern coast. We head for land to hunt meat? No, Natesa. We'll trade some hides for a few supplies here and wait for our hunting until we arrive at Cape Bandera. This big harbor, many ships. What big ones with no sails? Those are steamers. They carry cargo to distant ports. And boats with strange sails? Those are the latin sails the Arabs use. And apparently none of the fleet's going out today. I don't understand the inactivity here. Many men on pier? Yes, they're just standing around talking. None of them is loading cargo. Maybe afraid of sharks. Natesa, see fins of many sharks in harbor? Yes, I see them too, but I hardly think that. Natesa, look at that lone arable on the end of the wharf. He jumped in water right near sharks. Grab the tiller, Natesa. I'm going in after him. No, Tarzan. He jumped in. You're not him. He won't stand a chance with those long arable robes. Guide our boat to the dock, Natesa. Killer shark head for Arab. It was a race as Tarzan attempted to intercept the shark as it dried a rapid before the helpless era. But despite Tarzan's powerful strokes, the shark reached its goal first. It rolled over and the jagged teeth came in quickly. But before they could sink into its victim, Tarzan's hunting knife found its mark in the killer's sleep belly. The shark leaped high into the air, its tail flailing in the water. And it goes to strike back at its attacker. The churning sea was red with blood as Tarzan wrestled the monster onto its back again and once more the knife sank into the white underbelly. Again and again and again. The shark shuddered convulsively, a thrashing of the powerful tail ceased. The shark was dead. Tarzan took a few strokes and then swam down and placed his arm around the Arab. He hoisted the inert figure onto the nearby pier. Then, grinning broadly, he clambered under the rough lune dock. They're jumping to sea! They just saved him from shock! Best roll him over on his stomach, try to pump some of the water out of him. Your fellow Arabs seem to have lost interest in you quickly. Let's see if I can return you to this world. Inhale, inhale. The teeth that tie both to Pier Tarzan. Good. Inhale, exhale. He come to life? I think so. Then perhaps he'll solve what has always been a great riddle to me.  You have a fine house here, Ismail bin Ahmed. Before the month is passed, it will no longer be mine, Tarzan. Oh, you've had business reverses, huh? That's why you attempt to do into your life. reverses? You speak in mild tones. Tarak is the shipping point for materials brought across the Sahara. Ivory, ostrich feathers, hides, tea, curry powder, other things. Until this week, I was the owner of four ships. And what happened? I lost them all, every one of them. And each was loaded to the gunnels with rich cargo. I wiped out the work of a lifetime. By storms? Well, but surely the captains of your ships must have had warning of their approach. The storms that have befallen the ships of Ismail and his brothers given a warning, for they are man-made. Man-made storms? Perhaps I speak too vaguely. It is the manner of the Arab. I mean that my vessels as well as those of many other small ship owners have been robbed and then sunk by pirates. Pirates in this day and age? That is why the bales of cargo are piled high on the wafts and no one dares make a move to load the ships. Those who still have ships are afraid to let them venture forth. But there must be means of combating these pirates. They have sleek motor-driven ship that easily overtakes the swiftest of our fleet. Our men are brave, but the enemy consists of huge savage men who climb aboard and strangle those who resist. It seems incredible. Sharks have fed well on the proof of the end privates in for me. But you have heard enough of Ismail bin Amid's troubles. You have saved my life. Is there some manner in which I can be of service to you? We came ashore to refill our casks with fresh water and to trade a few hides for some provisions. Your native companion can fill the casks at the clear spring in my courtyard. And it will be my pleasure to supply the provisions you need. You are most kind. I wish there were some way in which I could help you though in your trouble. Perhaps when you resume your voyage you may see the vessel of the pirates. You have always struck at night and although a few of our seamen have escaped they have been unable to give an adequate description of the pirate craft. And if you had a description? The government would send a naval police and comb the waters for it. But of course without a description... When we have start to our modest galley we will head for the sea again. But I doubt that a pirate ship will frequent the waters near such an unprofitable district as that of our destination. A quiet cove of Port Banderat. Now fasten it well around that tree. It's good to have my feet upon the earth again. Well, Lattisa, this is Port Banderat. Do you like it? Oh, it's a beautiful place. But why we anchor at Edger Beach not sail into cove? Because for the first time I've arrived to find another vessel here before me. Didn't you see that ship nestled beneath the overhanging boughs? No. Is pirate ship, maybe? No, I hardly think so. For Ben Ahmed said they used a motor-driven ship and the one moored there as an antiquated sailing vessel. Still, I thought it best to take no chances. We make camp here? We'll cash our supplies near here and then we'll walk to the anchored ship and find out whether their friends are foes. The vessel, half hidden by the overhanging trees at the edge of the cove, was as a matter of fact of Mr. Gottliff and his skipper, Captain Helk. During the past months they had reaped great profits, but even financial success does not always lead to a feeling of security. And as Helk and Gottliff stood on the deck of their moored ship, they argued the point. I still think the naval police may find us even here. In the name of heaven, Captain Helk, why should you worry? If they look for anything, it will be for a sleek motor ship and I could see we aren't rigged to use them. Look, when we sail, we're a trim speedy craft. When we're in hiding, we're a shabby old sailing vessel. Who's going to examine our rigging or inspect the fake sail with which we cover our modern hull? Well, I'd feel a lot safer if we had more fighting men. Excuses, excuses. I told you to get as many men as you needed, Captain Helk. I'd got as many as I could trust you lived up to my requirements. Who are you shouting at?  They don't let them come aboard. One of our crew might come up on deck and then... I want them on deck. They need a little help in convincing this man that he should join us. Join us? This stranger we know nothing about? He meets my requirements. He's the most powerful man I've ever seen. He has great hands, obviously. He can't afford shoes. He has a scar on his forehead. May we come aboard? Of course. I'll lower the ladder. Go below and tell the men to crouch by the companion way. What about the native? I'm only interested in the giant. We'll shanghai him and we'll feed the native to these sharks. In just a moment we will return to our story of Tarzan and the Pirates of Cape Banderra. The tone of those aboard had been friendly and so Tarzan and Atissa climbed the ladder without great suspicion. At the top of the ladder Mr. Gottliff stood in a gesture of friendship, a smile on his face. But there was no smile on the face of Captain Helk nor on the cruel faces of the burly seamen who crouched behind him in the shadow of the companion way. I remember. Keep still until Mr. Gottliff and I have worked him over to the edge of the companion way here. Right. Kellen, you and Bulla grab the native. The rest of you gang up on a white man. Right. And I want no mistakes.  We got guns. I want him alive. Pinyon his arms so he can't do any damage. What about the native? I don't care what happens to the native. Quiet now. We hardly expected collars in this lonely port. We spent many months here in the past without catching sight of another human. It's a great pleasure to welcome strangers. Here. Let me give you a hand. My name is Gottliff. I am Tarzan. And my companion's name is Natissa. Welcome, Tarzan, Natissa. Jambo, why not, Gottliff? Come, I'd like you to meet our captain, Mr. Helks, one of the finest navigators on the coast. Good. There's much I have to learn about to see. All right, man. Natissa and I sailed around the Cape, but I still find... What is this? All in, man. You're not getting away. No, not through, Natissa. No, no, Natissa not. Here, the native. I've never seen such cruelty. Even without your gunfire, Natissa would have died. He couldn't swim. That's very unfortunate.  Those are harsh words for a man who's being held by six of the roughest men of Africa. We meant you know we've only boarded your ship. Why did you kill my friend? Why do you hold me captive? It's just a slight precaution. Your friend could be of no use to us, but Captain Helk here feels that you would be in addition to our crew. Is this the way in which you recruit seamen? In our business, we have to be sure of a man before we permit his arms to be free to grasp at a knife. That's your wise. But you're not free. No will you be, unless you throw your lot in with us. Retreater Cruville. Double salaries and shares. Double salaries and shares? I see. What must one do in order to earn this great amount? First, a few questions to you. How did you earn that scar on your forehead? When I was a young boy, I had a death struggle with Bolgani the gorilla. With a gorilla? I guess you can take care of yourself. How will you finance his dozen? I have seldom had use for money. But I guess you have no objection to it, eh? If I had a distaste for money, would I have traveled a great distance to join your pirate crew? He knows who we are. How did you know? A true privateer gives no information of that kind. Isn't it enough that I am as strong as three men that I have taken great pains to reach you? And that I thirst for the life of a pirate? That's good enough for me. Release a man. Welcome to our gentle crew, Tarzan. You won't find better grub and any yelling on the seventh sea. It should be good. Meat from the cattle boat, sailing from port sides, fruits and spices on their way from the Indies, delicacies from every land in the world. Have some of this wine, Tarzan. The blood of a dozen men have paid for it. I should make it taste sweeter. Oh, you're quite a joker. Incidentally, Tarzan, I'm the captain of this ship. So far I've been lenient with you, but when we put to sea, I'll have no breach of discipline. I was unaware that I had broken any rules. The crew is limited to certain parts of the ship. Your only duty is fighting. After this, I do not want to find you snooping about the engine rooms or the carpenter shop. It was just natural curiosity. It sometimes leads to unnatural deaths. But Tarzan had already completed his snooping. Now he knew the secrets of the pirate ship, the manner in which the vessel was disguised, the hiding place of much of the stolen cargo. The task remaining before him was to return to his own small vessel, make his way to Tarak, and there inform the naval police of the description and whereabouts of the ship that had been terrorizing the seas. But when, after several days, he managed to sneak ashore, the ship was gone. And even as he searched vainly for it, the missing dow made its way unsteadily to the dock at Tarak. You there, in the boat. Throw me your rope.  I'll help you into the dock. Oh, Santa. You look as though you've been in some sort of a drunken brawl. You shouldn't be roaming around the harbor. Please, me sick, almost drunk. Say of many days, no food or water. What's the story? What's your name? Me, Nathisa. Where are the papers for your boat? Papers? Come, come. I'm Lieutenant Kirby of the Naval Police. And we haven't time these days to fool about with those who can't keep papers in their vessels. Nathisa, not know about papers. I suppose you've stolen the boat. Please, Nathisa, not steal anything. He bring back boat belong Tarzan. Tarzan captured by Batman at Cape Bandera. Maybe our pirates. Now I've heard everything. And you come along with me. If you sober it up, we'll find out the real story about this boat and where you got it. Please, Tarzan in bad trouble. And so are you, my friend. So are you. Unable to find his boat and thus return to Tarak, Tarzan had gone back to the pirate ship. The ship made several journeys during the next few days, but the profits were not great. And the newest member of the crew was not in high favor. I can't understand it, Tarzan. Three raids you've been on and you've managed to clear things every time. If we weren't short-handed as a result of your stupidity, I'd send you over the rail right now. I'll do better tonight. What's our target? We're going to attack a port instead of a ship. And the stakes are high this time. Is it safe to attack a port? It's never safe to be a pirate. But the war for Tarak is groaning with cargo.  And there better be no careless mistakes this time, Tarzan. If there is a mistake, we may sacrifice one of our crew. You sent for me, commander. Yes, bin Ahmed. Lieutenant Kirby here arrested a native who couldn't prove ownership of a dow. He claims you know him. Well, I assured the commander it was just a tall story, but he thought it best to check with you. What's the native's name? I just sent a turnkey to get him. What did he say his name was, Kirby? He said his name was Natesa. Natesa? He's the native that accompanied Tarzan to Cape Bandera. Yeah, that's what he said. Kirby, I told... It's my bin Ahmed. Tell him. Tell him you know Natesa. I have already told them what has happened to the man who saved my life. Tarzan captured by Batman. They think they kill me. Natesa believe a pirate. Where is their port? Was it Cape Bandera? Commander, I insist that the naval police ship proceed to Cape Bandera at once. You don't have to insist bin Ahmed. I'm quite in agreement. The two of you may come along. We're ready to leave within the hour. The ship's carpenter had skillfully removed the camouflage of the sleek pirate vessel. The dummy sails had been reefed and the great diesel motor was driving the ship toward the port of Tarak. The forward deck bristled with guns and the fierce crew stood at their stations ready to pillage the waters. We've been landing in a few minutes now. Tell him, do you mind that big forward gun? Keep a trend on the dock. Yes, sir. Murphy, you take charge of the loading. Mr. Godliff, be prepared to relay orders to the engineer and wheelman. All right. The rest of you come with me. We'll do the necessary fighting. And don't forget Tarzan. I've got my eye... What is it, Captain Hill? Both leave on the dock, stop the engines, else the lights. Lights? There. We haven't the light showing. Coming this way. Turn the cannon to the port side and train it on them. Right. As soon as they get within range, let them have it broadside. All right. Ready? Tarzan! What are you?  Come aboard, all of you. I will reveal much to interest you. Dead pirates, the secrets by which they operated and much of their stolen cargo. Some of my goods? Ah, yes. Much of it bears your name. Now you will have the will to live. And I? I will be contented with the comparative safety of my jungle. In just a moment, a word about our next exciting story of Tarzan. The caravan crossed the Great Libyan Desert. The camels were unloaded and the huge bales transferred to the broad backs of native quarters. Then the safari plunged into the tangled jungle. Cities were avoided and only the most remote trails were used for the cargo was worth more than money and secrecy was the byword in the story, Contraband, which we will tell in our next adventure of Tarzan. Tarzan, by creation of the famous Edgar Rice Burroughs, is produced and transcribed by Walter White Jr. Prepared for radio by Bud Lesser with original music by Albert Glasser. This is a Commodore production.


Okay, we are ahead of schedule. When does that happen in academics?  So it's my great pleasure to introduce Professor Fabio Sempalotti He arrived at Purdue in August of 2015 and was previously employed as an assistant professor at the University of Notre Dame. We really don't count that you know, but that's okay. Originally from Italy Fabio obtained a combination of the typical European BS-MS degree like more diploma program in aerospace engineering from the University of Rome in 2000 and then completed father MS degree in error in 2002 from then until 2006 he held engineering positions in governmental and industrial entities connected to the aerospace industry and in 2006 he started his PhD studies at Penn State University and then completing it in 2009 and after completion as mentioned went Had a still still a little postdoc at Penn State, but then joined Notre Dame So since being here Since 2015 has been super active lots of publication Other activity research grants. I won't go through the list But I would like to mention that his main research areas and include wave propagation acoustic Metamaterials continue mechanics structural dynamics and their methods in differential equations He has been very active in the academic world with growing international recognition and Also quite a bit of service to the professional community So it's my great pleasure to have Fabio as part of this celebrating our associate Professors and I'm certainly happy that he's in ME. So thank you for being here Thank you Thanks, Saker for the generous introduction. So I will go I wanted to Give you a little bit of an idea of the past that brought me here, especially for Maybe the benefit of the students very often We are asked what is the path that would bring you to be a university professor or maybe a Researcher in academia. So I thought this would be a good opportunity to at least tell my side of the story So I when I finished my bachelor and master's degree at the University of Rome I definitely wanted out. I didn't want to be a professor. I never thought about being a professor I actually wanted to go to industry and wanted to see what that was about wanting to use what I had learned in In school on say more in a more practical applied environment And so I had an amazing opportunity as a first job. I was very passionate about Space application particularly the use of structures in in space And so I at the beginning I got a job as a consultant in a pretty large Consulting engineering companies and that was a great opportunity because I had the chance to experience many different projects And many different programs in a short amount of time So I worked on the Vega program and one of the two European launchers still structural side and even a short stint on satellite design Then I moved to Paris where I had this incredible opportunity to join the French space agency and For them I was working still as a structural engineer on the Ariane 5 the other the second European launcher So this brought me essentially 2006 and then I started thinking well this was great a great experience. I learned a lot, but I want to finish I want to further my education and so that's where I crossed the pond and arrived at Penn State Aerospace Where I did my PhD work now at that time What I was thinking is okay. I get my PhD then I go back to industry And maybe why not stay in the space industry in US, but this was before actually met these three outstanding gentlemen and and faculty members and on the last my advisors at at Smith at Penn State Aerospace, Conwell-Wang At the time at Penn State and me today Michigan and me and Steve Cullen at Penn State Applied Research Lab Who really opened my eyes to what research was about and what could have been a career In in the research field, then why not in in academia? So that really started tipping the scale in some sense towards you know from industry towards academia I did my research my mostly doctoral research in the area of structural health monitoring essentially Trying to find techniques That can tell you real-time is something is going wrong with the structure That's a very young version of myself when we were taking vibration measurements on Blackhawk helicopter When when I graduated I moved to as I was mentioning to Michigan for a one-year postdoc and then right after in 2011 I started as a faculty member At Noe Day in the mechanical and aerospace department and finally move here in in 2015 now if These three gentlemen have been very important to put me on this track There's a large group of people who are really instrumental to keep me on this track and these are my students and To the the title of today Gathering is celebrating associate professor. I would add and their students because without them We would be very hard to do what we do every day And so I was very fortunate as many of us here to have a very talented group of students very dedicated or at least they make me believe so and And so really this is my opportunity. They are almost all of them are here This is my opportunity to tell you thank you very much for what you do every day and for pushing the group for it So what do we do every day? Well the core Competencies in the group are essentially in the general area of dynamics of continuum and it basically hinges on this three Three topics continue mechanics structural dynamics and and wave propagation This basic knowledge we generally apply to mostly four areas or at least the areas in which we are mostly active these days Way propagation and multi physics dynamics is more kind of an umbrella area because a lot of the things that we develop Here actually benefit all these other These other areas and these other applications In in what we do in these areas mostly developing theoretical and numerical techniques for way propagation Mostly for elastic way propagation in solids, but we also look at their coupling with other physics or with other field like thermal Fluids Acoustics and some of these we do it with of course in collaboration with other faculty Professor Kristof Professor Scala Professor Marconi. They they we all have a very fruitful collaborations in in this area We also work in elastic metamaterials fractional mechanics structural health monitor I will tell you a little bit more in In the next few slides. So what is a meta material? Well the actual Translation is beyond the material. So it is essentially you can think of it as a composite is a material that we assemble and is a combination of Different material constituents with different shapes eventually placed in different orientation so to create an assembly that has very unique way propagation characteristics and so Within this area, of course, there are many subtopics and I'm not getting into into this It's just a snapshot of some of the activities we carried on in the last few years But really the bigger picture of this is why do we do this where we're mostly interested in thin solids? essentially those that are typical of lightweight structure think about aerospace systems and Of course, the the main role of these solids is to carry load is being structural materials structural solid But at the same time we're looking at the use of metamaterials as a way to make them sort of intrinsically smart in a way that the structure itself can also guide the energy that is flowing through it and Helping in managing vibration and noise control that this structure builds up in operating conditions in other area where we these days we are putting a lot of efforts and resources is Fractional order mechanics, which is essentially a combination of fractional calculus and essentially structural mechanics Fractional calculus in an area of applied mathematics. It's fairly developed that essentially deals with differential and integral operator of known in integer order. So as engineers, we are very used to First or a second-order derivative and their meaning in in our engineering field and applications fractional calculus deals with the question of A derivative of order one-half for instance and even push it further looking at derivatives of complex order and Variable order. So we look at very this very unique tool and Merged with we're not mathematicians. We're not developing new mathematical Models or in in fractional calculus, but we are looking at its application in our area and as I said particularly in structural mechanics one most more a natural connection of this Mathematical instrument to mechanics is in no local mechanics because that derivative is intrinsically no local But we found some very unique opportunities also in the area of homogenization In the area of fractional mechanics here. We are using the variable order version of this operator particularly here we're interested in looking at crack formation and Growth into a material and a very unique Capabilities of this tool is that of needing very small amount of information to really start predicting Where the crack will form and how will propagate? Now the recent area we looked into is in no linear dynamical systems so this is a recent study that we did looking at the Propagation of a dislocation into a kind of a lattice structure Under the the effect of external load, so we're looking essentially in this area at reformulating structural mechanics through the the the lens of this mathematical tool In the era of structural dynamics and health monitoring What we are doing is still looking for the most part that the most structure again those that have important application light weight structural design and we're mostly interested in sort of using geometric tapers and kind of indentation of different types to Control the way wave propagates through through the system and again application could be very different from vibration of noise control We looked into energy harvesting so extracting mechanical energy from the system and convert it into electrical electrical energy for low power type of application like ombar sensor and transducers some other applications here in creating embedded acoustic lenses to Direct the propagating waves in and mold the propagating waves in very specific ways in the structural health monitoring We're mostly interested these days in imaging techniques And so you can think of these as an x-ray or an MRI in the medical application But apply to structure so we we use Concept like vibration electrostatic response of the system to build an image of certain Material properties and so to understand if something is going bad with with the structure So I guess I use pretty much all my time, but Very briefly I teach in mechanics and dynamics For the most part as most of my colleagues. I try to be a good citizen and give back to my scientific community either in the editorships technical committees reviewer for Proposals or journals and also within my own department of course in in in different kind of in different kind of duties and With this I would like to thank again my entire group and of course my collaborators. This is not really a complete list. So I just is just a snapshot of that and Just a couple of words on my mentors. I had an incredible group of mentors Both and here at Purdue at a no-name as you all know tenure time is very challenging There are lots of things that are going on and so it's extremely important to have people you you trust and you can ask for for suggestion and to put you on the right track and And so a big thank to them as well and with this Thank you very much for being here today, and I'm happy to answer questions Thank you very much Fabio great contributions any questions for Fabio So What's in the store for you in the long run at Purdue? What do you want to do here? Well, I mean there are Several things in the making on the on the research side. So definitely that's probably now my main my main interest and You know working towards further in my my career and why not take an advantage of a sabbatical It's an outstanding idea I'm very supportive of that Any ambitions towards the administration like you know, there's some of us that like that stuff not everyone Well, I guess as I showed at the beginning everything is possible in life Right, I mean you start with a plan and you end up completely somewhere else. So Any other questions or in general Mark, do you want to take this back and close it out? Shall I close it out? Okay, well, I would like to thank All three speakers again for Presenting some of their research and activities at Purdue certainly a very exciting work being performed and In a great environment would like to thank the college for setting this up It's always a nice event and love the turnout today and with that. I Hope you have a great week
