    ICB seminar series 2018/19 chairman: Prof. Dr. Chih-Jen Shih INTEGRATING PROCESS AND MOLECULAR DESIGN: A JOURNEY ACROSS SCALES Prof. Dr. Claire S. Adjiman Freng Department of Chemical Engineering, Imperial College London ETH Hönggerberg, HCI J 7 Wednesday, 06/03/2019, 17.00 h Abstract: The performance of chemical processes depends not only on flowsheet structure, equipment design and operating conditions, but also on the choice of processing materials such as catalysts and solvents. Using a different solvent, for instance, can change the rate of a reaction by several orders of magnitude. Despite this, processing materials are often selected very early process development, leading to sub- optimal process performance. In this seminar, we explore how better designs can be developed by integrating molecular and process design decisions. Given the number of potential solutions to this extended design problem, and the complexity of the task, computer-aided design techniques and multiscale models have an important role to play in identifying promising options, thereby providing focus for experimental studies. We highlight the key challenges that must be overcome to enable such multiscale design and demonstrate what can be achieved on different processes. Bio: Claire Adjiman is Professor of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London. She holds an MEng from Imperial College and a PhD from Princeton University. Her interests centre on integrated process and molecular design, including new techniques for property prediction and optimisation. She is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, the Institution of Chemical Engineers and the Royal Society of Chemistry. She sits on the editorial boards ofMolecular Systems Design & Engineering, Computers & Chemical Engineering and Fluid Phase Equilibria and is associate editor of the Journal DCHAB Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences.

  • Centre for Advanced Structural Ceramics 2019 Annual Report
    Centre for Advanced Structural Ceramics 2019 Annual Report CASC Annual Report 2019 Introduction CASC has been continuously running since it started in July 2008 with EPSRC funding (£5.5M) for a five-year programme. The EPSRC funding came to an end in June 2013, but we are growing each year, establishing new industrial and academic collaborations both abroad and in the UK and participating in numerous national and international initiatives. This year a large number of PhD students have started working with us on a wide range of research projects, from biomimetic composites to transpiration cooling. Teaching and training is a big part of what we do. Our Ceramics Summer School is still going strong and we continue working in the organization of meetings and symposiums. The centre collaborates with Industry in several projects and maintains an Industrial Consortium to enable its sustainability and continue long-term and fruitful relationships between CASC’s associated academics and the UK’s ceramics community. Our main goal is to continue these relationships and grow as a ceramics centre. Congratulations also to Prof. Luc Vandeperre, winner of the 2019 IOM3 Verulam Medal & Prize Professor Eduardo Saiz CASC Director 2 Management CASC was initially set up by Professor Bill Lee in 2008. In 2012, he was succeeded as Director by Professor Eduardo Saiz. Local Management Team (LMT) The LMT is responsible for managing the centre’s operations and meets the second Thursday of every month to oversee the pressing day-to-day issues of running the Centre. These issues include staff appointments, equipment purchase, finances and building refurbishment, but are increasingly focussed on developing the Centre national and international profile, forging industrial links and achieving financial sustainability.
