Faculty and staff relaxing and enjoying Happy Hour. Zheyu Jiang Özgür Çapraz

Agrawal’s modeling/systems group partial reunion dinner in Phoenix #AIChE2022. So happy to catch up with everyone and see everyone doing great things at school/academia, national labs, and industry! Looking forward to seeing what’s up next for everyone!

I currently have two PhD students from Iran. It’s heartbreaking to hear them telling stories about what they are going through. I fully support them and their families, and always stand with Iranians people in their fight for freedom and human rights.

At this movement in the chilly winter night, Shanghai people are chanting on the downtown street “ we don’t want dictatorship, we want democracy”.Extraordinary courage and solidarity showed. After 3 years of suffering from lockdown & control of society, people are raged.

Chengdu Candle vigil turns into a gathering of chanting slogans again. Ppl shouted “ freedom of press, freedom of expression”. I have to say it’s amazing to hear these slogans so loudly& earnestly shouted out by Chinese ppl without fear. Unknown why gov could allow this. To watch

My first grad student Zeyuan Song just gave his first-ever presentation at FOCAPO/CPC 2023. We presented a data-driven finite volume discretization approach to solve a complex PDE called the Richards equation for water flow dynamics in soils. Great job, Zeyuan!

How much water does each crop use? We estimate irrigation for each crop in the United States, by county, year, & water source. Our database of ~2.5 million data points is freely available.

After 4 exhilarating performances in the western U.S., the CSO and @MaestroMuti made their way eastward on Friday to their fifth North American Tour destination: Stillwater, OK. The Orchestra made its debut at the @mcknightcenter the following night. #CSOonTour 📷: Todd Rosenberg

You may heard about massive earthquakes in southeast Turkey. Unfortunately, the situation seems to be very severe and it impacted large area (e.g. Boston to DC). It is harsh winter in the area too. In these times, very hard to be away from homeland.

Excited about this upcoming talk! Thank you OSU Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering for the kind invitation! Looking forward to seeing you all and establishing new connections and collaborations!

Thanks, Cory for visiting us! We are so glad to have you here! We all enjoyed your talk and the conversations with you! I especially enjoyed the lime experiment example for Bayesian statistical inversion. Really cool!!

My students are attending their first AIChE conference and they are super excited! They are also giving technical talks for the first time👍! Feel free to stop by and say hi. Go pokes! OSU CHE

hanging out with ⁦Zheyu Jiang⁩ in Portland after his seminar at Oregon State University on systems engineering in application to food and chemical production!

It’s my pleasure to host Prof. James W. Harris, also a Purdue Chemical Engineering alumnus. Prof. Harris’s talk on producing sustainable fuels and chemicals through oxygenate catalysis is inspiring and well-attended. Thank you for sharing your fantastic research with our faculty and students!

🚀My lab (checlams.github.io) is recruiting fully-funded PhD students to start in Fall 2025 or Spring 2026. If you have a good quantitative background and are interested in solving industrial decarbonization, digital agriculture, and sustainability, please consider applying!
