ChE Seminar Series Presents: Marc T.M. Koper Leiden Institute of Chemistry Leiden University, Leiden, The Netherlands Abstract: The electrocatalytic production of hydrogen through water splitting is a necessary approach for storing (excess) renewable electricity as chemical energy in fuels, and for making green hydrogen as a building block for the chemical industry. Here, I will […]
ChE Seminar Series Presents: Dr. Omolola (Lola) Eniola-Adefeso Associate Dean for Graduate and Professional Education in the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor Abstract: Vascular-targeted particle therapeutics offer the possibility of increased drug effectiveness while minimizing side effects often associated with systemic drug administration. Factors that influence the likelihood of targeted particle […]
ChE Seminar Series Presents: Alison McGuigan, PhD Professor, Chemical Engineering & Applied Chemistry, University of Toronto Abstract: Ex vivo culture models provide powerful tools to interrogate the role of tumour heterogeneity in human cancers. Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) are emerging as powerful models to capture the genetic heterogeneity of human tumors. However, extrinsic factors present in the tumor microenvironment […]
ChE Seminar Series Presents: Howard W.T. Matthew, PhD Professor, Chemical Engineering, Wayne State University Abstract: Polysaccharides have long been recognized as polymeric materials with an array of properties that have made them indispensable for applications ranging from adhesives to property-enhancing nanomaterials. As a result, they have found wide acceptance as food and drug additives. Over […]
ChE Seminar Series Presents: Milo Korestky McDonnell Family Bridge Professor Co-Director, Institute for Learning on Research and Instruction (IRLI) Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering Department of Education Tufts University Abstract: There has been considerable emphasis recently in transitioning chemical engineering classroom instruction from transmission-based lectures to active learning. Active learning has been defined broadly […]
ChE Seminar Series Presents: Umit Ozkan, Chair & University Distinguished Professor Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Ohio State University Abstract: Groundwater contamination by halogenated compounds such as trichloroethylene (TCE) is an environmental concern due to their high level of toxicity and their potential impact on drinking water. Hydrogenation of chlorinated compounds offers an efficient […]
ChE Seminar Series Presents: Dr. Fanglin Che, Assistant Professor Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Massachusetts Lowell Abstract: The usability and costly storage issues of renewable electricity from solar or wind energy become major challenges on a global scale due to the daily and seasonal variability of sunlight or wind and the geographic inequality of […]
