Seminar - “Successful Innovation”, by Dr. HADI MAHABADI, O.C., FCAE, FCIC, President of CanWin Consulting Inc.
ABSTRACT: It appears that innovation means at least several things to different people – any new product or service, value creation or a particular “culture of innovation.” But these and many other “interpretations” of innovation are less meaningless, as this author believes In fact the only thing that matters is whether an innovation creates impacts such as wealth / job creation and social advancement. And the only metric for determining that wealth is net cash flow.
Seminar - “An Integrated Experimental and Theoretical Approach to Investigate Biomass Fast Pyrolysis”, by Dr. KHURSHEED AHMAD BADRUDDIN ANSARI, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering, Nanyang Technological University,
ABSTRACT:
Part A: Investigation of the Interplay of Reaction and Transport within Biomass Particle during Fast Pyrolysis
Seminar - “Optimization-Based Control of Nonlinear Processes: Fundamental Advances Enabling Economically-Optimal and Safe Process Operation”, Helen Elaine Durand, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Chemical Eng. and Materials Science, Wayne State University
ABSTRACT: While most undergraduate process control courses focus on the dynamics and control of chemical processes that can be described by linear transfer function models, advances in computing over the last several decades have enabled the more complex nature (i.e., nonlinearities, interactions between variables, constraints) of the underlying process physico-chemical phenomena to be taken into account in the models used for controller design. A major trend in industry over the last 40 years has been employing constrained mathematical optimization techniques to compute
Seminar - “In Situ Nano-Fibrillated Polymer Blends with Superior Properties and Foaming-Ability”, Professor Chul B. Park, Dept. of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, University of Toronto
ABSTRACT: I will present a nano-fibril composites technology that has been invented at the University of Toronto. This technology enhances the mechanical properties and the foaming ability of various resins.
Seminar - “Tips on How to Write and Submit a Successful Paper” by João B P Soares, Editor-in-Chief, Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering, University of Alberta
ABSTRACT: In this presentation, you will learn how to integrate manuscript preparation into your daily routine, how to efficiently prepare a clear and well-organized manuscript, how the review process works, how to expedite your manuscript’s review and acceptance, and about future trends and developments in scientific publishing. This presentation is intended for early-career chemical engineering professionals: graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, new faculty members and new industrial researchers.
