ChE Skyrockets in Representation at AIChE 2016
Faculty members and students from the Dept. of Chemical Engineering recently traveled to San Francisco for the AIChE Annual Conference. This year, there were over 60 presentations from the department in a variety of subject areas including materials, biological engineering, and nanomedicine. Additionally, many faculty members chaired sessions and local alumni participated in the department reception. The AIChE Northeastern chapter won third place in the student video competition.
“This unprecedented 4X increase in the number of presentations by Northeastern undergraduates, graduates, and faculty at our annual AIChE conference over just 4 years, demonstrates the exceptional visibility, dedication, and leadership our department has in promoting chemical engineering education and research," remarks Tom Webster, Professor and Department Chair, Chemical Engineering and Art Zafiropoulo Chair in Engineering.
