Seminar - “Molecularly Engineering Membrane Materials for Separations Through Enhanced Interactions: A Road Less Traveled”, by Dr. Haiqing Lin, Assistant Professor, Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, University of Buffalo, Buffalo, NY

ABSTRACT:  Membrane technology has emerged as an important separation process for H2 purification, CO2 capture, and water purification.  Conventional membrane material designs are often focused on rigid polymers with strong size sieving ability to enhance diffusivity selectivity.  In contrast, our research focuses on the exploration of specific interactions between the penetrant and membrane materials to achieve high solubility selectivity and thus high separation performance.

CHE Seminar | Mario Jolicoeur: Modelling Cell Behaviour for the Identification of Biomarkers

Our approach to mathematically describing a cell population behaviour has evolved in the past decades. From the use of Monod kinetics, when a limiting nutrient shows to control cell behaviour, we now see modelling approaches based on a genome-wide description of a biosystem, integrating the various “omics” datasets available. However, do we always need that level of complexity to face a problem of bioprocess optimization or to elucidate the mechanisms of a metabolic disease?

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.
