AIChE TEP Division Call for Abstracts Due Mon. Dec. 12th, Session Chairs, & Keynote Speakers for the 2017 Spring Meeting

NEW DEADLINE for abstract submission

The America Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Transport and Energy Processes (TEP) Division invites you to submit a short abstract for our Bi-Annual Meeting, which is scheduled for March 26-30th, 2017 in San Antonio, TX. Please follow the link below to submit your abstract (300 to 1,500 words) by the deadline of Monday, December 12^th, 2016. We are offering many sessions in sustainable energy generation and storage technologies, with an emphasis on wind, solar, biomass, energy storage, geothermal, fuel cells, hydrogen, and electrochemical technologies. These sessions are listed below. We also are recruiting session chairs and keynote speakers, so please feel free to nominate yourself or a colleague for one or more of these roles. Also, if there is a session that is not on this list below that you would like to develop and run (i.e. find speakers for, etc.), please feel free to volunteer as a session chair for a new session that you would like to spearhead.

If there is a session that you would like to chair, or you would like to nominate yourself or a colleague to present as a session keynote speaker, please contact the AICHE TEP Programming Chair, Dr. Whitney G. Colella, at wgc@gaia-energy-research-institute.com.

Every year, the TEP Division attracts a sizable number of speakers from prestigious academic institutions and industrial organizations around the world, and hence provides a platform for chemical engineering knowledge exchange and networking with the peers in the field.

TEP will also give out several Best Paper Awards (http://www.aiche.org/community/awards/tep-best-paper-award) for the best presentation in each session, as chosen by the respective session chairs. TEP is expanding its activity in this area to give more opportunities for conference attendees to be formally recognized within the profession. We hope to see you at the Spring Meeting!
