Congratulations to Murray Moo-Young scholarship award winners

The 2015-2016 Murray Moo-Young Biotechnology Scholarship has been awarded to two Chemical Engineering students: Brandon Seo, a MASc student who is being supervised by Professor Ting Tsui, and Adam Westbrook, a PhD student who is being supervised by Professor Perry Chou.

The Murray Moo-Young Biotechnology Scholarship was established in 1982 with a donation by Distinguished Professor Emeritus Murray Moo-Young to encourage research of bioprocessing strategies in industrial biomanufacturing and environmental bioremediation.

Seminar - “Thin Porous Materials:Characterization Challenges & Modeling Opportunities” by Jeff Gostick, Department of Chemical Engineering, McGill University

ABSTRACT:  Thin porous materials are found in many critical applications such as battery and fuel cell electrodes, wound dressings, filtration membranes, fabrics and paper, to name a few.  The standard body of porous media techniques and theories have been developed for rock and soil pertaining to reservoirs and aquifers.  Consequently, studying transport processes in thin porous materials generally requires developing new approaches, both experimental and modeling.

Seminar “Microscale Multi-Phase Flow Technologies for Sustainability, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, and Nanomaterial Synthesis” by Milad Abolhasani, Ph.D., Department of Chemical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA

ABSTRACT:  Molecular transport spanning multiple phases and drastically different length scales occurs in our daily life and controls our health and surrounding environment; such transport phenomena include greenhouse gas generation from combustion of fossil fuels and drug transport and delivery within the human body.
