20 Sep '16

This is an important topic for our School, I hope you will all find the time to attend, even if we have to close the main office and the business office. You may be aware that this year our School launched the Purdue Pipeline Center, with the vision for all women in chemical engineering to reach and shape their full potential. This seminar is just the first step in a series of educational activities meant to raise awareness of issues faced in the workplace and improve the culture to ensure everyone can reach their full potential. I definitely hope to see all our staff and faculty attend this event.

Mellichamp Lecture Announcement
by Druhan, Joy A 16 Sep '16

16 Sep '16

Good Afternoon! Purdue's School of Chemical Engineering is honored to host Dr. Paul J. Dauenhauer of the University of Minnesota on October 4, 2016. Please mark your calendars! [cid:image003.png@01D21021.1DC7BC40]<https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE> Purdue University School of Chemical Engineering GRADUATE SEMINAR SERIES Mellichamp Lecture Dr. Paul J. Dauenhauer Dept. of Chemical Engineering & Materials Science University of Minnesota "New Approaches to Big Chemistry and Biomass" Tuesday, October 4, 2016 3:00 - 4:15 p.m. FRNY G140 Reception at 2:30 p.m. in Henson Atrium Abstract: Thermochemical conversion of lignocellulosic biomass utilizes high temperature chemical decomposition to produce liquids via pyrolysis, solids via torrefaction, or gases via gasification which are subsequently converted to liquid biofuels or biochemicals. However, these systems are comprised of thousands of molecules and millions of chemical reactions within three phases, making them intractable by conventional research techniques. In this seminar, three new research techniques are introduced including PHASR (Pulse-Heated Analysis of Solid/Surface Reactions), the Universal Carbon Detector (UCD), and DRiSP (Diffuse Reflectance in situ Spectroscopy of Particles) which enable the first molecular-level measurements of the millisecond kinetics of complex reacting systems. Bio: Paul J. Dauenhauer is the DuPont Young Professor and Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Minnesota. He serves as Co-Director of the Catalysis Center for Energy Innovation. He received his B.S. in Chemical Engineering and Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin Madison and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Minnesota. He worked for the Dow Chemical Company as a Senior Research Engineer in Midland, MI, and Freeport, TX. His work on catalysis and reaction engineering of renewable feedstocks has been highlighted by numerous awards including the DOE Early Career, NSF CAREER, the Rutherford Aris Excellence in Reaction Engineering Award, and the Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award. His is the co-founder of Sironix Renewables and inventor of the flagship technology for Activated Research Company.
