[cid:image005.png@01D18F18.9AE3EA30]<https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE> Purdue University School of Chemical Engineering GRADUATE SEMINAR SERIES Dr. Mark A. Barteau Director, University of Michigan Energy Institute DTE Energy Professor of Advanced Energy Research; Chemical Engineering and Chemistry "Energy and Engagement" * Thursday, April 28, 2016 * 3:00 - 4:15 p.m. FRNY G140 Reception at 2:30 p.m. in Henson Atrium Abstract: Energy - clean, sustainable, affordable, and environmentally responsible - is the grand challenge of our time. In this era of relatively abundant fossil fuel resources, the challenge of limiting and reducing atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations has become even greater. There is an increasing need to consider "all of the above" carbon strategies, in addition to our "all of the above energy" strategy. Both must include contributions from the local to the global. As engineers we have important roles to play in creation of new technologies and in rigorous analysis of prospective solutions to energy and emissions challenges. There are also important roles in communicating not just with our peers, but with the public and with policy makers. This talk will also consider a few examples and lessons from the author's career. Bio: Mark A. Barteau is the Director of the University of Michigan Energy Institute and the inaugural DTE Energy Professor of Advanced Energy Research. He holds academic appointments in the Department of Chemical Engineering and the Department of Chemistry. Before joining the University of Michigan in 2012, he served as the Senior Vice Provost for Research and Strategic Initiatives at the University of Delaware, where he held appointments as the Robert L. Pigford Endowed Chair of Chemical Engineering and Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2006. He received his BS degree in Chemical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis, and his MS and PhD from Stanford. He was an NSF Post-doctoral Fellow at the Technische Universität München, before joining the University of Delaware faculty in 1982. He has held visiting appointments in chemical engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, and in chemistry at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. His research, presented in more than 240 publications and a similar number of invited lectures, focuses on chemical reactions at solid surfaces, and their applications in heterogeneous catalysis and energy processes. Prior to coming to Michigan, Dr. Barteau was the founding director of the University of Delaware Energy Institute. He chaired the Environmental Footprint task force for the Governor's Energy Advisory Council for the preparation of the 2009 five-year energy plan for the State of Delaware. He also chaired the NRC committee that produced the 2013 report Effects of Diluted Bitumen on Crude Oil Transmission Pipelines. He has served as the co-chair of the Chemical Sciences Roundtable and the chair of the Council of Chemical Sciences for the DOE Office of Science. He currently serves on the Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology of the National Academy of Science and on the science advisory board for the National Institute of Clean and Low-Carbon Energy (NICE) China. He is a member of the Board of Directors of NextEnergy in Detroit. Dr. Barteau is a frequent contributor of opinion pieces on energy issues. His work has been published in venues such as The Hill, Huffington Post, The Conversation, Midwest Energy News, MLive, and Fortune. In 2008 he was named as one of the "100 Engineers of the Modern Era" by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. He is the recipient of numerous awards, including the 2001 Alpha Chi Sigma Award and the 1991 Allan P. Colburn Award, presented by AIChE; the 1998 International Catalysis Award, presented by the International Association of Catalysis Societies; the 1995 Ipatieff Prize from the American Chemical Society; the Paul H. Emmett Award in Fundamental Catalysis, given by the North American Catalysis Society, and the 1993 Canadian Catalysis Lecture Tour Award of the Catalysis Division of the Chemical Institute of Canada. He has served as associate editor of the AIChE Journal and WIRES Energy and Environment, and on the editorial boards of a number of other Journals, including Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research and the Journal of Catalysis.

REMINDER - seminar today. [cid:image001.png@01D1965E.0C3F9200]<https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE> Purdue University School of Chemical Engineering GRADUATE SEMINAR SERIES Faculty Lectureship Award Elçin Içten School of Chemical Engineering, Purdue University "Manufacture of Individualized Dosing: Dropwise Additive Manufacturing of Pharmaceutical Products (DAMPP)" Thursday, April 14, 2016 3:00 - 4:15 p.m. FRNY G140 Abstract: In accordance with the changes observed in health care systems towards more innovative personalized therapies, we present a novel technology for small scale, distributed manufacturing of individualized dosing. A dropwise additive manufacturing process for melt-based solid oral drug production is developed, which utilizes the drop-on-demand (DoD) printing technology for predictable and highly controllable deposition of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) onto an edible substrate, such as a polymeric film or placebo tablet. This manufacturing method has tremendous potential in individualized dosing because through a combination of drop size and number of drops, the dosage can be precisely and reliably controlled to match the prescribed amount for a patient. The DAMPP process is a viable method for on-demand production of various formulations including solvent based systems, i.e. solvent-polymer-API solutions, and melt based systems, i.e. polymer-API melts. A real-time process management strategy is developed for the dropwise additive manufacturing of pharmaceutical products. The automation program assures synchronous operation of process units, while monitoring process parameters and maintaining process control. For the dropwise additive manufacturing system, the critical process parameters (CPP) are controlled to achieve the desired critical quality attributes (CQA) of the dosage forms. The effect of the CPPs on the final drug property is investigated and it is shown that implementation of a supervisory control system on the process is essential for producing individual dosage forms with the desired CQAs. A polynomial chaos expansion based surrogate model is developed to predict the dissolution profile of the solidified drug deposition given the temperature profile applied on the substrate. Using this model, a hierarchical control system is implemented by monitoring the drop size on-line and predicting a temperature profile to achieve the desired dissolution profile for the dosage forms created. The process control strategy effectively mitigates variations in the dissolution profiles due to variable dosage amounts, hence enabling the application of the DoD system for the production of individualized dosage regimens. The prototype system offers great promise as a tool for advancing personalized medicine by allowing the precise production of convenient solid oral dosages tailored to the patient on site at hospitals, clinics and even pharmacies.
