Students from Western Pennsylvania School for Blind Children recently visited Carnegie Mellon College of Engineering and received a tour of the Tech Spark makerspace and learned about 3D printing. They also enjoyed hands-on activities such as making slime and bouncy balls with Carnegie Mellon Chemical Engineering prof Joanne Beckwith Maddock.

Congratulations to William Strahl on a successful dissertation defense! Title: Advancements in Combinatorial and Nonlinear Optimization Methods for Process Systems Engineering

Welcome to our two new ChemE faculty, Alexandra Newby and Derin Sevenler!

To enable hydrogen production at lower cost and larger scale, we need better catalysts. Profess.or Profess.and, Rohan Yuri Sanspeur, and Javier Heras-Domingo developed an ML framework to narrow the compositional space they needed to search. cheme.engineering.cmu.edu/news/2024/08/2…

Happy first day of classes! Welcome back CMU College of Engineering!

Of the five papers making up Vipul Jain’s dissertation, the one recently recognized with the INFORMS Journal of Computing Test of Time Paper Award was his favorite. cheme.engineering.cmu.edu/news/2024/08/2…

We're launching our fall seminar series today with Jonghoon Choi, professor of biomedical engineering in the School of Integrative Engineering at Chung-Ang University.

Congratulations to Yuri Sanspeur on a successful dissertation defense! Title: Toward Autonomous Software Pipelines for Materials Discovery with a Focus on Green Hydrogen

Excited to kick off a new semester by publishing some NEW research guided by Joaquin Resasco, Delia Milliron | @deliamilliron.bsky.social, and Profess.or Profess.and in ACSEnergyLett! When will we see cation effects for the oxygen reduction reaction? Let's go! 👇(1/n) pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

For those in Pittsburgh, please join CMU Scott Institute for Energy Innovation for a Distinguished Lecture by NETL Director Marianne Walck. Wednesday, September 25, 12:00 PM. eventbrite.com/e/distinguishe…

Hot temps, high winds, and insects in their instruments. Field measurements aren’t as simple as putting instruments outside. Jen Research Group spent 6 weeks at the US Department of Energy’s ARM News Southern Great Plains observatory. cheme.engineering.cmu.edu/news/2024/09/0…

Proud to see two of our alums on the panel: Lilo Pozzo ⭐️⭐️⭐️🤌🏼 and David Bernal!

Dr. Kathryn Whitehead from CMU's ChemE and BME departments will deliver the keynote at the #2024CMUBMEForum on Sept. 20! Her talk, "Lipid Nanoparticles for RNA Delivery," will explore advancements in RNA-based therapies. Register now to attend! bit.ly/4gg7Kth

Tomorrow we welcome Keith A Brown as the next featured speaker in our fall seminar series.

What is reactivity origin of metal surfaces upon a perturbation? charge transfer, strain, or ligand? This question has puzzled me since I was a student. Together with Profess.or Profess.and, we uncover a new resonance effect, with a little help from deep learning. journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/1…

Interesting new work led by the Profess.or Profess.and group exploring the sources of error in OC20. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… Highlights in this thread.

Thanks to Profess.or Profess.and and Carnegie Mellon University #ChemicalEngineering for hosting me for a great visit. So much exciting Chemistry automation going on!

Carl Laird and Georgia Stinchfield are advancing a product development approach long-used in the automotive industry and adapting it for chemical process development. Their approach could help the chemical process industry decarbonize. cheme.engineering.cmu.edu/news/2024/09/1…
