Karthish's teaching has been recognized with the Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award, C. Michael Mohr Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching Award, the MIT Chemical Engineering Outstanding Graduate Teaching Award, and the MIT Teaching with Digital Technology Award. He serves on the Early Career Advisory Board for ACS Catalysis and on the Advisory Board for Trends in Chemistry. ******* ******* "Electrification and Decarbonization of Chemical Synthesis" Tuesday, October 4, 2022 3:00 p.m. - 4:15 p.m. FRNY G140 - Reception will be held in FRNY Atrium at 2:30 p.m. - Abstract: Chemical synthesis is responsible for significant emissions of carbon dioxide worldwide. These emissions arise not only due to the energy requirements of chemical synthesis, but since hydrocarbon feedstocks can be overoxidized or used as hydrogen sources. Using renewable electricity to drive chemical synthesis may provide a route to overcoming these challenges, enabling synthetic routes which operate at benign conditions and utilize sustainable inputs. We are developing an electrosynthetic toolkit in which distributed feedstocks, including carbon dioxide, dinitrogen, water, and renewable electricity, can be converted into diverse fuels, chemicals, and materials. In this presentation, we will first share recent advances made in our laboratory on nitrogen fixation to synthesize ammonia at ambient conditions. Specifically, our lab has investigated a continuous lithium-mediated approach to ammonia synthesis and understood the reaction network that controls selectivity. We have developed non-aqueous gas-diffusion electrodes which lead to high rates of ammonia synthesis at ambient conditions. Then, we will discuss how water can be used as a sustainable oxygen-atom source and how carbon dioxide can be used to achieve carbon chain extension. These findings will be discussed in the context of a broader range of electrosynthetic transformations which could lead to local and on-demand production of critical chemicals and materials.

Safety training requirements: UPDATE
by Nagy, Gabriela 01 Sep '22

01 Sep '22

Hello everyone, I have updated the safety training requirements for both lab based research and non-lab based research (office workers) to include Purdue's most up to date requirements. I have also updated this information on our website https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/aboutus/safety/index_html, under "Training". For your convenience, I attach both documents: the one applicable to faculty/staff/graduate students/visiting researchers (everyone apart from undergraduate students and PMP students), and the one applicable to undergraduate students and PMP students. The in-person sessions have returned as an integral part of the INITIAL safety training, and the dates for this semester are posted on the website. Preferably one should attend an in-person session AFTER completing all other steps and logging the completion of training. For this semester the in-person sessions are scheduled for the first and third Friday of the month, and the next session is tomorrow, September 2nd from 10:30 am in FRNY 2142. If you have any NEW people joining your group, or if you are new to our School and completed the rest of the steps, please come to one of the in person training sessions. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your commitment to safety!
