RSVP here! The CBE GSA aims to build and promote a sense of community and…
Abstract Linking computational techniques to experiments for establishing design-structure-property relationships in soft materials. My research group’s expertise lies in the development of physics-based molecular models and simulation methods as well as data-driven machine learning models for designing and characterizing soft macromolecular materials. In this talk, I will highlight examples from my group’s recent work to…
Inspirations for a Career Path for Growth Biography Jim Semler recently joined Merck as a principal scientist in the Materials and Biophysical Characterization group focused on drug substance and drug product development. Prior to Merck, he was the Director of Materials Science & Sustainability within the Medication Delivery Solutions business unit at Becton Dickinson. At…
Jim Bray, Sc. D. Principal, Convergent Consulting LLC Adjunct Professor, NC State University, Forest Biomaterials Abstract Skiing Ahead of an Avalanche - Life in a Material Science Startup The mystique of working in a startup company post-graduation with the chance to bring transformative technology to the market to satisfy customer demands tempts many students. While…
We invite you to reconnect with the CBE Mentoring Program on Thursday, April 18, from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. in the Engineering Building's first floor atrium. The dress is business casual. We hope to see you there! RSVP here so we have enough food!
Abstract Exploring how ionic correlations influence ion transport and electron transfer in electrochemical systems Electrochemical technologies promise to play a major role in mitigation of carbon emissions associated with energy and chemical production. In most electrochemical devices, high ion concentrations and large operating voltages induce strong ion-ion correlations, which drives electrolyte ions to collectively assemble…
Join Department Head, Dr. Sindee Simon, to learn more about the State of the Department on Monday, April 22nd, from 1:45-2:45 PM in EB1-1007. Pizza and cupcakes will be served prior the presentation.
This event is for undergraduate seniors and faculty in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. RSVP's are required to attend.
Abstract Innovation and Sustainability as Intertwined Forces to Accelerate Net Zero Goals The trifecta of clean energy, power grids modernization and digital transformation is driving innovation on steroids for the wire and cable (W&C) industry. For example, the US government has set a goal to deploy 30GW of new offshore wind energy by 2030 and…
Senior Design Day is the culmination of the nine-month design experience CBE seniors participate in. The event is an opportunity for the teams to report the results of their research during formal presentations and at a poster session which sometimes includes student-built prototypes. Students's families, industrial project sponsors, faculty members, and invited guests all attend…
Abstract Data Science & Machine Learning Approaches to Catalysis and Chemical Engineering Data science and machine learning (DS/ML) are changing the way many people approach catalysis research, ranging from new design of experiment approaches, new methods in simulation, even new ways of interacting with the scientific literature. It is challenging today to even keep up…
Quick Reminders Guest tickets are not required for entry to this event. Even so, we do strongly encourage graduates to limit their guests to four people to ensure optimal seating for all those in attendance. Seating is on a first come, first serve basis. The Commencement ceremony should end no later than 11:30 am. All attendees (guests…
Quick Reminders The ceremony will be held in the State Ballroom on the 3rd floor of Talley Student Union, and will be approximately 90 minutes. Doors open at 5:00 pm for guests. Graduates will need to arrive early to participate in the group photo at 5:20 pm around the NCSU seal on the 2nd floor…
