Li President, Chief Executive Officer, & Director (Ret.) Cabot Microelectronics Corporation Bio: David Li was announced as President, Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board of Directors at Cabot Microelectronics Corporation effective January 1, 2015. Cabot Microelectronics is the world's leading supplier of chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) polishing slurries and is a growing CMP pad supplier to the semiconductor industry. He has more than fifteen years of experience in a wide range of roles with Cabot Microelectronics, including eight years of leading the company's Asia Pacific business. Over that period, he demonstrated a record of delivering growth in the company's most important product lines and geographic regions, while forging close bonds with customers and developing the company's leaders throughout the Asia Pacific Region. Prior to that, David served in various leadership roles, including Cabot's Managing Director of China and Korea, and the Global Business Director for Tungsten and Advanced Dielectrics. He held a variety of leadership positions in operations, sourcing and investor relations since joining Cabot in 1998. Before joining Cabot Microelectronics, David held process engineering and marketing roles at UOP. In addition to his Purdue degree, David earned his MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in 2003. David received his OCHE Award in 2017 from the Davidson School of Chemical Engineering at Purdue. The original parent of CMC, Cabot Corporation (the historic, 140-year-old maker of carbon and silica products) created Cabot Microelectronics in 1995 to help accelerate the push into the emerging opportunity for chemical mechanical planarization (CMP). David Li joined the new subsidiary only three years after its formation and thus had an early opportunity to make noteworthy contributions to the growth of CMC. After the spin-off of CMC as an independent company in 2000, with sales of $200M and 100 employees, CMC's then leaders identified David as a future leader of CMC, with David placed in various leadership roles to help CMC firmly establish itself as the market leader for silica slurries for polishing semiconductor wafers. Named as the President and CEO of CMC in 2015, "David Li moved quickly to streamline CMC's upper management and revamped the company's culture to instill more agility and risk-taking" (cited from a 2019 article in C&E News magazine of the American Chemical Society). This sector of the semiconductor industry was entering a period of rapid consolidation and David's first action was to acquire NexPlanar Corporation in October of 2015 to help steer CMC to the #2 position for polishing pads. By 2018, CMC had grown to over a billion in sales and its newly attained scale placed it in a position to acquire KMG Chemicals for $1.6 billion and become a major player in an even greater segment of the semiconductor materials supply chain. Recognition awards as an outstanding supplier from major companies in this industry (Samsung, Intel and IBM to name three awards), rapid organic growth and additional strategic acquisitions dramatically increased the size and scale of CMC. Ultimately, in 2021 the Board of Directors of CMC accepted a friendly $6.5 billion buy-out offer from Entegris Corporation, representing approximately a four-fold return for shareholders over David's six-year term as CEO.

Robert Jr. Consultant & Professor Emeritus Purdue Military Research Institute, Purdue University & United States Military Academy Bio: Dr. Leon Robert is a recognized expert in leadership development, procedural discipline and process improvement in the oil and gas sector. He has worked extensively in the Permian Basin to improve hydraulic fracking business processes, reducing human error, and mentoring the next generation of oil and gas leaders. He had a distinguished 30-year career in the U.S. Army and is a nationally recognized scientist and educator. He has diverse leadership experience leading complex academic, operational, and scientific research and development organizations, with responsibility for setting organization vision/goals, leading change, and achieving results. His executive leadership of academic organizations, and research and development teams included senior-level engagement with multiple Department of Defense stakeholders, and with a wide variety of top-tier universities, private research labs and commercial companies. He assisted the DoD in developing the next generation "green" pyrotechnics and improved high explosive formulations. His distinguished military career included two combat tours, 8 overseas assignments, and culminated as Professor of Life Science and Head of the Department of Chemistry and Life Science at the United States Military Academy at West Point, 2011-2017. He led the 51-person academic department responsible for educating and developing future Army leaders (cadets) in the fields of Chemistry, Life Science, and Chemical Engineering. Under his leadership the Department successfully gained American Chemical Society certification of the Chemistry Program in 2013, American Board of Engineering Technology accreditation of the Chemical Engineering Program in 2015 and completed the $150M renovation and expansion of the Bartlett Hall Science Center. Leon's distinguished achievements include serving as the Vice Dean of the National Military Academy of Afghanistan in Kabul where he led, developed, and mentored 200 Afghan faculty and staff to educate 1,500 cadets in a four-year undergraduate college program, under extraordinarily challenging conditions. He professionally mentored the Dean, Director of Admissions and 12 academic department heads to improve education and administrative procedures resulting in the first ever graduating class of future Afghan Army officers. He has authored over 40 multidisciplinary peer-reviewed publications, numerous technical publications and was awarded a US patent. He is currently on numerous educational and STEM advisory boards. ******* ******* Thursday, October 13, 2022 3:00 p.m. - 4:15 p.m. FRNY 3059 Abstract: Will be forthcoming.. ******* ******* To R.S.V.P.

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. ******* ******* Davidson School of Chemical Engineering<https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE> Purdue University West Lafayette, IN 47907 (765) 494-4050<tel:+17654944050> (c) 2022 Purdue University<http://www.purdue.edu/purdue/disclaimer.html> All rights reserved An equal access/equal opportunity university<http://www.purdue.edu/purdue/ea_eou_statement.html>
