Purdue NE Prof. found guilty of misconduct
It seems that Prof. Rusi Taleyarkhan, a Purdue University Professor in the School of Nuclear Engineering, has been found guilty of scientific misconduct.
Quote from the Purdue News Service:
Purdue University on Friday (July 18) announced that an investigative committee with members from five institutions has concluded that two allegations against Rusi Taleyarkhan, a professor of nuclear engineering, constituted research misconduct.
I can’t really comment on this too terribly much as I’m a student in the School of Nuclear Engineering. That being said, I hope that this doesn’t tarnish the reputation of Purdue or NE there–there is only so much they can do and they couldn’t be expected to do more than they already have. So, that all being said, read up on it and see what you think.
