ChE Seminar Series Presents: Arthur Shih, Ph.D. Leiden Institute of Chemistry, Leiden University, The Netherlands Abstract Understanding of catalysis at a fundamental level has historically lagged behind its commercial counterpart with the Haber-Bosch ammonia synthesis process and catalytic converters as pertinent examples . This historical paradigm, however, is shifting with the advancement of computing prowess and collaboration. We will discuss how experiments and density functional theory (DFT) computations led us to discover that platinum, a noble metal that is frequently…

ChE Seminar Series Presents: Juliana Carnerio, Ph.D Postdoctoral Research Fellow School of Chemical Engineering & Biomolecular Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology Abstract: Our current global fossil-based economy produces significant environmental, economic, and social challenges. Such complex challenges are the defining issues of our time, pushing society toward stepwise decarbonization of our energy and consumption economy. Ideally, the aim is a more just and reliable economy, with minimal social and environmental burdens and the redistribution of economic and environmental benefits. To…

There are a variety of steps required to transition technologies from the research lab to the marketplace. Each step comes with its own set of questions and challenges. How do you protect your innovation and when is the right time? What is the right path to market? What are the obstacles to get there? What resources are available for researchers and entrepreneurs? Representatives from Northeastern’s Center for Research Innovation (CRI) will help to answer these questions. The CRI is focused…
