Ervin Liao, Undergraduate Student in Mechanical Engineering
Ervin is known for trying new things. He first heard the term “side questing” during his freshman year, and the lingo has opened his world ever since. The “side quests” he explored throughout college led to newfound passions in solo travel, experimenting with food, and new connections with the campus community. Ervin serves as a Teaching Assistant for the College of Engineering honors program, the VP External for the Taiwanese Student Association, and a member of Purdue Mechanical Engineering Ambassadors. Ervin received an acknowledgment as the AAARCC Top Volunteer of 2024-2025 for contributing the most hours to AAARCC initiatives.
This Lunch & Learn session is generously co-sponsored by the Purdue Department of Mechanical Engineering.
The AAARCC hosts a Lunch and Learn guest speaker series each semester on Thursdays from 12pm-1pm at the AAARCC (915 5th St.) or a campus specific location (listed for each session). Each Lunch and Learn features diverse faculty, staff, and students sharing their research or expertise. We believe each Lunch and Learn session poses a valuable opportunity for students to learn from experts and engage in meaningful discussions. We cater lunches from a variety of local businesses in the greater West Lafayette community.
This event starts promptly at 12pm. This is a hybrid event. In-person seating is limited to the first 50 attendees. Please consider joining us over Zoom at: bit.ly/aaarccLL
