Guanhe Rim

Dr. Guanhe Rim received B.S. and M.S. in Chemical Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea, and a Ph.D. in Earth and Environmental Engineering at Columbia University in 2020 under the guidance of Prof. Ah-Hyung Alissa Park. His Ph.D. research focused on coupled kinetic and mechanistic studies of elemental extraction from silicate minerals and alkaline industrial wastes for CO2 utilization, and he designed a unique internal grinding reactor system to enhance diffusion-limited elemental extraction behavior. Currently,  Dr. Rim is continuing his research in Prof. Christopher W...Read more

Richard M. Lueptow

Prof. Richard M. Lueptow is Senior Associate Dean at the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science, Co-Founder of the Master of Product Design and Development Program, Professor of Mechanical Engineering and of Chemical & Biological Engineering (by courtesy), and former Charles Deering McCormick Professor of Teaching Excellence at Northwestern University.  He received his BS in engineering (1978) from Michigan Technological University and his master’s degree (1980) and doctorate (1986) in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.  He has...Read more

Jesse Zhu

Prof. Jesse Zhu is a Distinguished University Professor and Canada Research Chair at Western University (formerly known as the University of Western Ontario), in London, Canada.  Since 1982, he has worked on many areas of fluidization and particle technology including several years at Shell in the Netherlands, and working with fluidization pioneers like John Grace and Mooson Kwauk.  With nearly 500 journal publications, 50+ patents, and over 250 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows supervised, he has worked on a very wide range of R&D projects, many from the industry....Read more

Sofiane Benyahia

Dr. Sofiane Benyahia currently works as a research engineer at the National Energy Technology Laboratory in Albany, Oregon. Dr. Benyahia has more than 20 years’ experience conducting computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of multiphase flows resulting in more than 40 peer-reviewed publications. He focuses on developing computationally efficient and physically accurate numerical tools to better understand, predict, and troubleshoot fluidized bed systems at the heart of most energy and chemical industries. Dr. Benyahia earned a bachelor’s in chemical engineering from Polytechnic...Read more

T.J. Mountziaris

Prof. T.J. Mountziaris earned a Diploma (5-yr degree) from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, and a PhD from Princeton University, both in Chemical Engineering. After completing postdoctoral studies at the University of Minnesota, he joined the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University at Buffalo (SUNY) where he was a member of the faculty from 1989 to 2005. From 2003 to 2005 he served as rotating Program Director for Particulate and Multiphase Processes at the National Science Foundation (NSF) and contributed to the National Nanotechnology...Read more
