Prof. Urmila Diwekar's Talk

Abstract:
Green process design extends the breadth of the design process to incorporate ecological and sustainability issues early in design. This means extending the traditional process design to include chemical and material selection decisions. This integration poses the challenging problem of discrete and continuous decisions, nonlinear and non-convex models, and uncertainties.   This talk presents a computer-aided molecular design approach to greener chemical processes.

Abstract:

It is apparent that the increasing societal requirement demands materials that are sustainable and environmental friendly. This requirement of today, and future, is to be addressed at different scales from retrieving of the monomer, to its conversion into a product and reuse of the same product at the end of its lifetime with added value.
