Graduate Seminar Series - Dr. Fabio Ribeiro 4/29
by Ewing, Virginia G 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

Purdue University School of Chemical Engineering GRADUATE SEMINAR SERIES Dr. Fabio Ribeiro School of Chemical Engineering Purdue University "Kinetics of Heterogeneous Catalytic Reactions" April 29, 2014 9:00-10:00 a.m. FRNY G140 Reception at 8:30 a.m. in Henson Atrium. Abstract: Products made from catalysts contribute to about 35% of the global GNP. These remarkable and complex materials allow reactions to occur without being consumed. They are used in the petroleum, chemical and pharmaceutical industries and even in every car and truck! Most of the catalysts in use are porous solids and are called heterogeneous catalysts. The tradition in the US is that these materials are studied in Chemical Engineering Schools, although the research area is primarily Physical Chemistry. Research in catalysis encompasses materials synthesis, chemical and structural characterization, chemical kinetics, and electronic structure calculations. Purdue is one of a few institutions that has a team with all the necessary players. Our quest is to understand, at a molecular level, how the catalytic sites work and to use that knowledge to improve catalytic performance. Our main tool is the measurement of reaction kinetics. I will illustrate with examples from our group how we study catalysts. Bio: Fabio H. Ribeiro is currently the R. Norris and Eleanor Shreve Professor of Chemical Engineering at the School of Chemical Engineering, Purdue University. He received his Ph.D. degree from Stanford University in 1989, worked for Catalytica, Inc. in Mountain View, California, held a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of California - Berkeley, and was on the Worcester Polytechnic Institute faculty before joining Purdue University in August 2003. His research interests are centered on the kinetics of heterogeneous catalytic reactions and catalyst characterization under reaction conditions. He has over 100 publications in scholarly journals. He was Chair for the American Institute of Chemical Engineer's Catalysis and Reaction Engineering Division (2010) and is editor for Journal of Catalysis. His honors include the NSF CAREER award (1997-2002), the Excellence in Catalysis Award from the Catalysis Society of Metropolitan New York (2005), designation as a Purdue University Faculty Scholar (2006-10) and the Henry J. Albert Award from the International Precious Metals Institute (2012).

Graduate Seminar Series -Dr. Meenesh Singh 4/24
by Ewing, Virginia G 23 Apr '14

23 Apr '14

REMINDER -- Purdue University School of Chemical Engineering Graduate seminar series Faculty Lecture Award Dr. Meenesh Singh Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, California "A Journey through Crystal Forests" Thursday, April 24, 2014 9:00-10:20 a.m. FRNY G140 Reception at 8:30 a.m. in Henson Atrium Abstract: Crystalline materials can exist in variety of shapes spanning a spectrum of physicochemical properties. Forests of crystal morphologies often appear in different applications. This talk will briefly cover the identification of such forests for different crystalline materials, providing directions for targeted synthesis of desired crystal shapes and novel experiments to measure crystal morphologies and face-specific growth rates. Bio: Dr. Meenesh R. Singh, Postdoctoral Scholar in the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis (JCAP) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, obtained his B.E (Chemical Engg.) degree from Sardar Patel University in 2005, M.Tech (Chemical Engg.) degree from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay in 2008 and Ph.D (Chemical Engg.) from Purdue University in 2013. At JCAP, he is working on artificial photosynthesis for solar fuels under the supervision of Prof. Nathan S. Lewis (Caltech), Prof. Rachel Segalman (UC Berkeley), Dr. Adam Weber (LBL) and Prof. John S. Newman (UC Berkeley). His doctoral research was under the guidance of Prof. Doraiswami Ramkrishna, where he studied shape evolution of crystals. This work is recognized by multiple awards such as i) AIChE process development division student paper award, ii) AIChE separation division graduate student research award, iii) Outstanding graduate student research award, and iv) McDonnell Douglas Fellowship. His research interests lie in the area of healthcare and renewable energy. Currently, he is working towards the development of i) efficient photoelectrochemical devices for solar to liquid fuel production and ii) computational tools to predict polymorphs and morphologies of crystalline materials.
