SUMMARY:Italy Trek Info Session
DESCRIPTION:During spring break 2026 (March 28– April 4)\, the Smith Family Business Initiative will be leading a student trek to Italy to explore numerous significant family businesses\, Italian history\, and culture. \nJoin them on November 18th for an informational meeting to learn more. This trek is open to ALL Cornell University graduate and PhD students. \nWhy Family Business?\nFamily-owned businesses dominate the economic landscape in the United States\, are critically important drivers of the economy and\, by most estimates\, make up 70-90% of all businesses globally. These organizations span the economic spectrum from start-up to the largest and often oldest businesses in the world. Given the statistics\, regardless of your background or career trajectory\, it’s not a question of if you will work with a family enterprise but when and in what capacity. Educating our students about the unique advantages and challenges faced by family firms provides a fundamental knowledge base and is one of the many distinctive ways Cornell prepares graduates for successful futures. \nWhy Italy?\nIn Italy there are estimated to be around 784\,000 family businesses – more than 85% of the total number of businesses – constituting around 70% of all employment. Italian family businesses are also set apart by their longevity: of the world’s 100 oldest businesses\, 15 are Italian and\, of these\, 5 – Fonderie Pontificie Marinelli (founded in 1000)\, Barone Ricasoli (1141)\, Barovier & Toso (1295)\, Torrini (1369) and Marchesi Antinori (1385) – are among the top ten oldest family businesses still active today.

Broadly\, this session will be of interest to trainees in a variety of fields of biological sciences\, chemistry\, and/or data science who would like to learn more about careers in the pharmaceutical industry. \nHosted by Merck in collaboration with Cornell\, Rutgers\, Brown\, and the University of Chicago. \nRegistration\nRegister for this online event by joining the Merck community. The meeting will be used on Microsoft’s Teams platform\, so be sure to download access beforehand. It is optional to upload your resume. \nAbout the panelists\nRupesh P. Amin\, PhD\,is an Executive Director in Nonclinical Drug Safety at Merck. He has 23 years of experience from both small and large pharmaceutical companies across various aspects of toxicology\, investigative toxicology\, nonclinical drug discovery and development across multiple therapeutic areas and modalities. Rup has successfully supported the advancement of Cardiometabolic\, Anti-inflammatory\, Oncology and RNA therapeutic drugs. In his current role as Head of Program Development\, Dr. Amin provides nonclinical drug safety scientific\, operational\, and strategic oversight for Merck’s development programs across all therapeutic areas and modalities. His team supports programs entering Phase 1 through registration and post-marketing\, ensuring nonclinical drug safety aspects support the clinical program. Additionally\, Dr. Amin’s team provides oversight of Occupational Toxicology aspects of Merck’s portfolio. This involves critically assessing the potential hazardous effects of chemicals and drugs to guide the implementation of measures to protect employee health and safety. Before joining industry in 2002\, Dr. Amin completed a Ph.D. in Toxicology at the Joint Graduate Program in Toxicology at Rutgers University/Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. He further pursued a post-doctoral fellowship applying toxicogenomic approaches to elucidate molecular mechanisms in drug-induced renal toxicity and studied cell cycle defects at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. Rup enjoys travelling\, hiking and exploring diverse cuisines with his wife and 3 kids.  \nMelissa Dsouza\, PhD\, is a Director in Digital Operations and Innovation within Nonclinical Drug Safety at Merck Research Labs. She specializes in applying data science and machine learning to drug safety assessment.

SUMMARY:From industry to faculty\, entrepreneur\, consultant\, and faculty back to industry
DESCRIPTION:MSE Seminar Series \nDate: Thursday\, September 18\, 2025\nTime: 4:00pm\nLocation: Kimball B11 \nAbout the speaker\nLeo Schowalter was employed by the GE Global Research Center after receiving his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Illinois in 1981.  He was a professor in the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) Physics Department from 1987 and became Department Chair in 1997\, the same year that he co-founded Crystal IS with another former GE colleague. Crystal IS commercialized single-crystal AlN substrates and UVC LEDs based on pseudomorphic AlGaN on these substrates for disinfection and instrumentation applications.  Crystal IS was acquired by Asahi Kasei in 2011 and is now a wholly owned subsidiary. \nStarting in 2017\, Dr. Schowalter was appointed the Asahi Kasei Innovative Devices Industry-Academia Collaborative Chair at Nagoya U. This team\, led by Prof. Amano and with Asahi Kasei and Crystal IS support\, announced the world’s first UVC laser diode in 2019 and\, in early 2020\, announced the best performance for far UVC LEDs in the 230nm to 240nm wavelength range. Dr. Schowalter continues the collaboration with Prof. Amano as a Visiting Professor but has also now joined the Florida-based startup company Visium (formally Lit Thinking) which is developing cost-effective far UVC for human-safe disinfection of shared spaces.  Most recently\, he has established the Visium Ultralabs in the Cornell Tech Park to further push the AlGaN ultrawide bandgap semiconductors into the far-UVC. \nAbstract\nThe development of AlGaN ultrawide bandgap (UWBG) semiconductors on native AlN substrates for UVC and far UVC device applications \nUltrawide bandgap semiconductors (bandgaps greater than 4.5 eV) have attracted recent attention for new applications in high power switches (EV and smart grid) and high-power rf.  UWBG semiconductors are also being used to make novel light emitters at wavelengths shorter than 280nm. However\, the UWBG semiconductors still present big challenges in growth and doping.  One of the best examples are the pseudomorphic AlGaN alloys gown on high quality AlN substrates where 2-inch diameter is now widely available and 100mm are being sampled. These single-crystal AlN substrates have enabled growth of high quality Al1-xGaxN alloys that are pseudomorphically strained to match the lattice of the underlying AlN substrate. The low extended defect density has made it possible to take advantage of a new kind of conductivity (distributed polarization doping) made possible in materials that have a spontaneous polarization.  Most significantly\, p-type Al1-xGaxN has now been demonstrated in Al1-xGaxN without the use of impurity doping.  This breakthrough solved the critical problem of unacceptable resistivities in the doped layers with increasing band gap (particularly for p-type dopants). \nPseudomorphic growth and distributed polarization doping have made the achievement of new devices possible\, such as the UVC laser diode which we first demonstrated in 2019 as part of a Asahi Kasei/Nagoya University joint effort.  These laser diodes open new possibilities for optical instruments which will benefit from very compact sources of radiation which are coherent and nearly monochromatic. It is also possible to precisely direct laser radiation in ways that simply are not possible for LEDs.  As this technology develops\, it may even be possible to achieve higher wall plug efficiencies than are achievable with UVC LEDs due to improved photon extraction efficiencies. However\, the lifetime of these diodes (which operate at much higher current densities than LEDs) is still an important issue that needs to be addressed. \nFinally\, I would like to introduce our new UWBG semiconductor effort at the Visium UltraLabs in the Cornell Tech Park to enable far UVC (shorter than 235nm) LEDs.
