2018 Park Reilly Distinguished Lecture | The Promise of Artificial Intelligence in Process Systems Engineering: Is it Here, Finally?, by Venkat Venkatasubramanian

Professor Venkatasubramanian will review the different phases of Artificial intelligence (AI) in process systems engineering (PSE) over the past 30 years and argue that the time for AI in PSE, and in other domains, has arrived, finally.

Institute for Polymer Research 40th Anniversary Distinguished Lecture | Nanoporous Materials Employing Disordered Block Polymers as Key Ingredients: Marc Hillmyer

Self-assembled block polymers containing a sacrificial (i.e., chemically etchable) component are versatile precursors to functional nanoporous materials. The two most common ordered morphologies used to generate nanoporous materials in this way are the hexagonally-packed cylindrical and bicontinuous gyroid phases.

In this talk, Professor Marc Hillmyer will discuss approaches to nanostructured, bicontinuous but disorganized morphologies through either thermal or light-induced chemical fixation of block polymers in the disordered state in close proximity to the order-disorder transition.

Park & Veva Reilly CHE Medal for Proficiency in Research Award Ceremony & Seminar Presentation | Conductive Cellulose Nanocrystals for Electrochemical Applications, by Debbie Wu

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are known as nature’s latest wonder material. This renewable, sustainable, biodegradable and nontoxic nanomaterial can be extracted from cellulose fiber - the most abundant biopolymer on earth and competitively produced at an industrial-scale.
