Camillo Taraborrelli, a UNSW Chemical Engineering research lab manager, has an incredible tenure with the university of 46 years.   UNSW turned 75 this week, and he's been here for more than half that time. He talked to us about his achievements, when he started, and how he wouldn't change a thing.   You can read more stories celebrating our 75th anniversary here: https://lnkd.in/gqjmVj2p #UNSWEng75

Help save the University of Hull's Department of Chemistry... Did you know that Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) kicked off the flat screen revolution?? The first working and commercialised LCD was created at the University of Hull a little over 50 years ago. So if you're on a laptop, a phone, or any screen, it's likely a descendent of the LCDs first made in this little University in the North of England. Since then, the Chemistry Department at the University of Hull has been involved in solving issues like plastic pollution and provides countless graduates to the local, national, and international chemistry sector. The Chemistry Department is heavily involved in different aspects of the circular plastics economy and has led a number of successful projects in the area including an EPSRC grant that brought together researchers from across the university. This helped catalyse the formation of the Hull Plastics Collaboratory which now has many exciting projects relating to plastics. In particular, chemistry is at the forefront of producing new catalysts for biodegradable polymer production. But the University now proposes to close the Department of Chemistry, hence abandoning this legacy and any future research and teaching in the subject. ✍️Sign the Petition to show your support of keeping this department open: https://lnkd.in/eMWAwrST ✍️ #chemistry #plastics #savehullchemistry

This year is the marks 50 year anniversary of The Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Bath! From ground breaking research to industry partnerships to student successes, the Department has truly made its mark over the last 50 years. Here is to the next 50 years 🥳🥂 #ChemicalEngineering #UniversityofBath #50YearsAnniversary #Innovation #Research #STEM #JoinTheDiscussion 💡🔬🎓

As a semester-long project, SEAS students worked with petrochemical and plastics company BASF on strategies to reduce plastic production and increase recycling. Their final presentation focused on three main areas: an interactive map with key information related to landfills and recycling; a case study into the reusability of polyurethane foam; and an overview of companies offering take-back programs for various plastic products. "ES96: Engineering Problem Solving and Design Project" is a core course for third-year SEAS students pursuing S.B. engineering degrees. https://buff.ly/48rSlRs

A focus on chemical engineering ensures the industry of tomorrow will grows and prosper!

#RisingResearcher Taras Nagornyy ’24, a double major in chemical engineering and chemistry, conducts research in the College of Engineering, UMass Amherst that seeks to minimize the release of harmful gases from vehicles with diesel engines, such as trucks, trains, ships, and military vehicles. Solving problems and making things work in research excites Taras, who says, “As an engineer, it's particularly rewarding to know that the research isn't just theoretical; it's meant to be applied to solve real-world problems.” After the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Taras plans to pursue a Ph.D. program in chemical engineering and, ultimately, contribute to the pharmaceutical or material science industry as a senior scientist, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical production. We know you’ll do great things, Taras! Learn more: https://bit.ly/4836Knm

Dear all, please find below our new video about the institute for polymer engineering

Students who have ever wondered whether #plastics #engineering is the right way to tackle environmental problems definitely had the right idea! In plastics engineering, we urgently need young #engineers from different disciplines with creative ideas to work together to create a functioning circular economy. We are delighted to have a new Scientific Director at IKV, Professor Achim Grefenstein, who has dedicated himself to precisely this task. You can read all about his goals and tasks in our interview. 📰 https://lnkd.in/eebia-Xc #mechanicalengineering, #materialsengineering, #materialsscience #processengineering #rwthaachen
