Seminar Speaker: Professor Bruno Blais

Abstract
The simulation of flows using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has advanced considerably in recent decades and is now an essential tool across industries ranging from aerospace design to process engineering. Although CFD is relatively mature for single-phase flows, multiphase flows (such as particle-laden flows) and multiphysics flows (such as those including microwaves or ultrasound) remain significantly more challenging to simulate, in part due to their intrinsic multiscale nature and conflicting numerical need.

In the recent years, high-order methods have gained considerable momentum in aeronautics, in part due to their significantly lower dispersion and dissipation, but also for their higher arithmetic intensity (FLOPS-to-byte ratio) which suits current hardware capabilities. However, these methods remain seldomly used in chemical-engineering applications, in part due to their multiphase and multiphysics nature.

The transition to student-led open-ended projects in our senior laboratory course and how to implement self-directed learning within this construct

Abstract:

For 30 years the undergraduate laboratory in the Chemical Engineering department at Carnegie Mellon University has employed a variety of pedagogies. In this talk we will explore our transition to student-led open-ended projects in our senior laboratory course. Furthermore, we will focus on implementing self-directed learning within this construct.

Seminar Speaker: Professor Ingo Krossing

Abstract: Ingo Krossing steers a synthetic inorganic / organometallic chemistry group that bridges to computational, physical, materials and electrochemistry. His core expertise starts with weakly coordinating anions (WCAs) and was extended over the years to basic and applied Ionic Systems, i.e. compounds and materials (systems) in which ions determine their properties. The Ionic Systems under investigation range from very basic reactive cation salts,[1-5] to more applied systems like electrolytes for batteries and battery materials. To investigate the electrochemical relations between such Ionic Systems, solvent independent unified redox and acidity scales – applicable to all phases – were developed.[6]
