• Engineering Elastin-like Peptides to Control Solid Surface Properties: A Biomaterials Research Platform and Education Tool

    236 Richards 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, United States

    ChE Seminar Series Presents: Dr. Julie N. Renner Associate Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering, Case Western Reserve University Abstract: Key biomaterials applications (e.g., bioelectronics, drug delivery, and tissue engineering) rely on control of solid surface properties for success. Surface-bound peptide monolayers are a promising way to control surface properties because peptides are biocompatible, easily tunable, […]

  • How green hydrogen is made

    236 Richards 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, United States

    ChE Seminar Series Presents: Marc T.M. Koper Leiden Institute of Chemistry Leiden University, Leiden, The Netherlands Abstract:  The electrocatalytic production of hydrogen through water splitting is a necessary approach for storing (excess) renewable electricity as chemical energy in fuels, and for making green hydrogen as a building block for the chemical industry. Here, I will […]

  • Chemical Engineering Fall Seminar Series: Professor Kevin Van Geem

    010 Behrakis 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, United States

    Due to our increasing awareness of the impact of climate change on our society, unit operations in our manufacturing processes, including those in chemical industry, have to be greenified and made less dependent of fossil resources.

  • Chemical Engineering Fall Seminar Series: Professor Burcu Gurkan

    010 Behrakis 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, United States

    This presentation will highlight the impact of solvation, ionic interactions, surface adsorption, and hydrogen bonding and transfer on interfacial structure, redox reactions, and catalytic mechanisms in particular for CO2 electroreduction.

  • Chemical Engineering Fall Seminar Series: Professor Haotian Wang

    010 Behrakis 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, United States

    In this talk, using CO2 reduction to gas and liquid products and O2 reduction to hydrogen peroxide as representative reactions, I will introduce the rational design of both catalytic materials and reactors towards practical electrochemical manufacturing of fuels and chemicals.

  • Chemical Engineering Fall Seminar Series: Professor Cameron Abrams

    010 Behrakis 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, United States

    In this talk, I will trace my group's history in using molecular dynamics simulations to investigate conceptual links among molecular architectures, intermolecular interactions, and network structures and how they determine thermomechanical properties of polymerized materials that these applications demand.
