    Biosynthesis and Mechanistic Investigation of Unusual Synthons in Natural Products Speaker:  Antonio Del Rio Flores, University of California, Berkeley Host:  Jerome Fox  Tuesday, February 21, 2023 â€“ 2:45pm
  • Carolyn Mills
    Carolyn Mills, PhD, is a postdoctoral fellow at Northwestern University in the lab of Professor Danielle Tullman-Ercek.
  • Sophia Haussener
    Sophia Haussener, associate professor of the Laboratory of Renewable Energy Science and Engineering École Polytechnique Fédéralede Lausanne (EPFL) Lausanne, Switzerland, will review the state of the art of photoelectrochemical and thermochemical solar fuel processing approaches and comment on their specific challenges.
  • Graphic of Siyphus pushing a boulder up a hill
    As a child, Jeffrey Miller struggled with reading and paying attention in school due to dyslexia and ADHD. His persistence paid off: Miller will receive a Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering from CU Boulder in December. He's also the recipient of the 2022 Perseverance Award from the College of Engineering and Applied Science.
  • People at a dinner table at the annual AIChE dinner
    Four researchers from the Weimer Research Group received poster contest awards at the American Institute of Chemical Engineers annual meeting, this year held in Phoenix, Nov. 11-14.  Alan Weimer, Melvin E. and Virginia M. Clark
  • Vivian Feig
    Vivian Feig, PhD, is a Schmidt Science Fellow and postdoctoral researcher in the labs of Assistant Professor Giovanni Traverso and Professor Robert Langer at MIT and the Brigham and Women’s Hospital. In this talk, Feig will show how soft matter can enable bio-interfacing materials to circumvent the tradeoff between dynamism and functionality for two particularly difficult use cases: bio-electronics and load-bearing materials.
  • Andrew Rosen
    In this talk, Andrew Rosen, Miller Research Fellow, will discuss how quantum chemistry, high-throughput computing and machine learning can help guide experiments and accelerate the discovery of novel materials to address a variety of global challenges relevant to the field of chemical engineering.
  • Benjamin Chilton dress in his firefighter clothing
    It wasn’t enough for Benjamin Chilton to study chemical engineering at CU Boulder. While at the university he became a firefighter, a course assistant and student ambassador, as well as studied subjects far outside the breadth of engineering.

  • Laurel Hind
    Laurel Hind, assistant professor of chemical and biological engineering, received a five-year, $1.8 million National Institute of General Medical Sciences Maximizing Investigators’ Research Award to study neutrophils, the body's "first responders" to infection.
  • Hendrik Heinz
    In a new review paper, a team of international researchers, including Hendrik Heinz, professor of chemical and biological engineering, have laid out how engineers are taking inspiration from the biological world—and designing new kinds of materials that are potentially tougher, more versatile and more sustainable than what humans can make on their own. Such nature-inspired materials could, one day, lead to new and better solar panels, soft robots and even coatings for hypersonic jets.
