Seminar “Development of Microbial Cell Factories for Consolidated Bioprocessing”, Akihiko Kondo, Department of Chemical Science and Engineering, Kobe University
ABSTRACT: In order to reduce carbon emissions and construct sustainable society, it is very important to construct sustainable biorefineries, which produce biofuel/biochemical from biomass. Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP), which integrates enzyme production, saccharification and fermentation into a single process, is a promising strategy for effective bioproduction.

Seminar - “Current Status and Future Development of Catalyst Materials and Catalyst Layers for PEM Fuel Cells”, by Siyu Ye, Ballard Power Systems, Burnaby, BC
ABSTRACT: This presentation will provide an overview of recent progress and remaining technical challenges of PEM fuel cells. The important contribution of catalyst materials and catalyst layer towards wide-spread commercialization of fuel cells will be highlighted. The advantage and possible limitations of various types of catalysts, such as Pt alloys (de-alloys), core-shell catalysts and shape-controlled nanocrystal catalysts will be assessed.

Seminar - “New Solution and Formulation Approaches for Process Design and Operation under Uncertainty” by Xiang Li, Department of Chemical Engineering, Queen's University
ABSTRACT: Mathematical programming methods have been widely adopted for process design and operation, as they provide systematic means to find optimal or feasible design/operation decisions that may not be easily seen from qualitative or simple quantitative analysis. However, mathematical programming formulations of process design and operation problems are usually nonconvex, implying that an optimal, or even a feasible solution, is difficult to obtain.

Seminar - “Multifunctional Materials for Electronics and Photonics”, Federico Rosei, UNESCO Chair in Materials and Technologies for Energy Conversion, Saving and Storage, Centre for Energy, Materials and Telecommunications, INRS, Varennes (QC), Canada
ABSTRACT: The bottom–up approach is considered a potential alternative for low cost manufacturing of nanostructured materials [1]. It is based on the concept of self–assembly of nanostructures on a substrate, and is emerging as an alternative paradigm for traditional top down fabrication used in the semiconductor industry. We demonstrate various strategies to control nanostructure assembly (both organic and inorganic) at the nanoscale.
