PhD Defence | Novel Starch Nanocomposites, by Sungho Park

You are welcome to attend Sungo Park's final PhD defense, in which he will discuss his research into developing a technology to characterize and process environmentally friendly materials using starch as co-polymer and nano-filler. The research aimed to extend the range of properties of starch materials while maintaining environmental benefits and competitive physical properties for applications such as packaging and agriculture.

Sogol Mottaghi-Tabar will discuss their research into the economic feasibility of constructing a SNG production facility for upgrading biogas through the Sabatier reaction at their closed MASc oral exam.

Yue Yu will discuss their research of CO2 methanation over alumina-supported cobalt oxide and carbide synthesized by reverse microemulsion method in a closed MASc oral exam.

You are welcome to attend Aleksander Cholewinski's PhD defence, in which he will discuss his research to develop and fabricate underwater adhesives that take inspiration from the adhesive chemistry and processes of both marine mussels and benthic algae.

You are welcome to attend Yue Niu's MASc oral exam, in which they will discuss their research of Cobalt-hexamine (HMT) metal-organic framework-derived bifunctional electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction and evolution reactions, which promises implmentation advantages for rechargeable Zinc-air batteries.

Xiaoyuan Dou will discuss their research on self-assembled metal organic framework microflowers as polysulfides immobilizers for lithium sulfur batteries during their closed MASc oral exam.

Wednesday, September 4, 2019 11:30 am - 11:30 am EDT (GMT -04:00)

Seminar | Sticky and Slippery Materials Inspired by Geckos and Cartilage, by Dr. Noshir S. Pesika

Please join the Department of Chemical Engineering on Wednesday, September 4, for a seminar on the fabrication of ‘smart’ biomimetic surfaces by Dr. Noshir Pesika, Associate Professor in Tulane University’s Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department.

Friday, September 6, 2019 1:00 pm - 1:00 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

PhD Defence | On the Prediction of Gas Hold-up in Ebullated Bed Reactors, by Amir Mowla

You are welcome to attend Amir Mowla's final PhD defence, in which they will discuss their research into the hydrodynamics of commercial ebullated bed reactors through a combination of experimental investigation and CFD modelling. 

Wednesday, September 11, 2019 9:00 am - 9:00 am EDT (GMT -04:00)

MASc Oral Exam | Real Impact of CO2 Utilization: A Dynamic LCA Approach, by Majd Tabbara

You are invited to attend Majd Tabbara's MASc oral exam, where they will discuss their research into the environmental costs and benefits associated with the conversion of already-captured CO2 into final chemicals or energy products.  

Abstract

You are welcome to join the Department of Chemical Engineering on Wednesday, September 11, for a seminar on droplet-based microfluidics for high throughput biological applications by Dr. Naiwen Cui, from Harvard University’s School of Engineering and Applied Science.
