Phillip R. Westmoreland Professor/Executive DirectorNorth Carolina State UniversityPhillip R. Westmoreland is Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at North Carolina State Univ. (NCSU) and Executive Director of the NCSU Institute for Computational Science and Engineering. His chemical engineering degrees are from NCSU (BS, 1973), Louisiana State Univ. (MS, 1974), and MIT (PhD, 1986). He worked in coal research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (1974–1979), as a ChE faculty member at the Univ. of Massachusetts Amherst (1986–2009), and as a program director at the National Science Foundation (2006–2009). An AIChE Fellow, Phil began service as public relations chair and secretary in the Knoxville-Oak Ridge Section. He was Chair of the Central New England Section, founding Chair of the Computational Molecular Science and Engineering Forum (CoMSEF), and Chair of the National Program Committee, and has served on the Boards of Directors of AIChE, the forums CoMSEF and NSEF, the Catalysis and Reaction Engineering Div., the Combustion Institute, and the Council for Chemical Research. He is also a trustee and past president of the educational nonprofit CACHE Corp.

Westmoreland What you learn in a ChE degree program is powerful—but once we start work, every chemical engineer finds out they need to learn even more. 12/12 in the series We Are ChE: Entering a Golden Age Seizing the Future of ChE Dec 20, 2012 . by Phillip R. Westmoreland In this week’s final post in the series about a new Golden Age of ChE, Phil Westmoreland writes about our profession’s opportunities and challenges. 11/12 in the series We Are ChE: Entering a Golden Age Embracing the Breadth and the Unity of ChE Dec 14, 2012 . by Phillip R. Westmoreland In this week’s final post in the series about a new Golden Age of ChE, Phil Westmoreland writes about the breadth of chemical engineering and how the many different areas of our profession are linked by a common background and problem-solving approaches. 10/12 in the series We Are ChE: Entering a Golden Age From Big Data to Smart Manufacturing Dec 5, 2012 . by Phillip R. Westmoreland In this week’s post about the new Golden Age of ChE and the role of computing, Phil Westmoreland writes about “From Big Data to Smart Manufacturing.” 9/12 in the series We Are ChE: Entering a Golden Age Massively Parallel Computing and Massive Impacts for ChE Nov 29, 2012 . by Phillip R. Westmoreland In this week’s post about the new Golden Age of ChE, Phil Westmoreland writes about “Massively parallel computing and massive impacts for ChE.” 8/12 in the series We Are ChE: Entering a Golden Age ChE Computing Becomes Cyberinfrastructure Nov 14, 2012 . by Phillip R. Westmoreland Computing and communication networks have become a ubiquitous “cyberinfrastructure” for our personal and professional ChE lives. 7/12 in the series We Are ChE: Entering a Golden Age Biology and ChE: Applying a Molecular Science (Part II) Nov 7, 2012 . by Phillip R. Westmoreland Bioscience has become an important part of chemical engineering. This post reflects on how bioscience and ChE have changed each other and what changes are in store. 6/12 in the series We Are ChE: Entering a Golden Age Biology and ChE: Applying a Molecular Science (Part I) Oct 24, 2012 . by Phillip R. Westmoreland Biology has become a molecular science and an important part of chemical engineering. That began by use of non-bio-specific tools, and now it is influencing ChE directly. 5/12 in the series We Are ChE: Entering a Golden Age The New Energy Mix: Abundance and Sustainability? Oct 17, 2012 . by Phillip R. Westmoreland The US’s surge in production of natural gas is by methods that are spreading around the world. As oil begins to be abundant, too, can we have the benefits and still move toward sustainable energy? 4/12 in the series We Are ChE: Entering a Golden Age Shale Gas in the Middle of the Worldwide Energy Drama Oct 10, 2012 . by Phillip R. Westmoreland The second basis for asserting a new Golden Age of Chemical Engineering is the new abundance of hydrocarbon resources in the US. In this post, we focus on the worldwide impacts of fracking and shale gas. 3/12 in the series We Are ChE: Entering a Golden Age More ChE Manufacturing: Rebuilding the Body Oct 3, 2012 . by Phillip R. Westmoreland Tissue engineering is potentially a new area of custom ChE-style manufacturing, illustrating how our approaches to manufacturing go beyond the popular view that manufacturing is making products with machinery or assembly lines.
