Bryan Hubbard, professor of construction management, is one of two Purdue Polytechnic faculty to win 2023's Murphy Award, signifying excellence in teaching. Learn more about how he got to where he is today.

Purdue Polytechnic’s Bryan Hubbard developed a new heat exchanger technology to improve the thermal performance of industrial water-cooling towers. His new patented concept introduces a static electric charge into the plastic film pack media, which has the potential to increase the overall efficiency of power plants.

Purdue Polytechnic’s Marcus Rogers, Umit Karabiyik and Fahad Salamh earned a patent for their method of automating the collection of cloud-based digital forensic evidence.

Xiumin Diao, assistant professor of engineering technology, has come up with a patented design to help unmanned aerial vehicles fly in windy conditions, with more energy-efficiency and larger payloads.

Two Purdue Polytechnic professors were honored at the University’s 2014-15 Inventors Recognition Reception for being awarded patents.

Qingyou Han, professor of mechanical engineering technology, has devised a way to add titanium powder to aluminum to produce stronger and lighter composite materials for manufacturing. Han received a patent for his work.

Two College of Technology professors were honored by Purdue Research Foundation at the tenth annual Inventors Recognition Reception Nov. 18.

A Purdue researcher has patented a process of collecting a small vehicle’s energy in an ultracapacitor through regenerative braking. The lighter ultracapacitor can store energy better and for longer periods than a typical vehicle battery, which makes it ideal for providing additional energy when it is needed most, such as during acceleration.

Two College of Technology professors were among 54 Purdue researchers honored Nov. 20 at the ninth annual Inventors Recognition Reception.

Stephen Elliott and Kyle Lutes were awarded patents during the 2012-13 academic year. Elliott is a professor of technology leadership and innovation, assistant dean for research for the College of Technology and director of the International Center for Biometric Research. Lutes is an associate professor of computer and information technology.
