This fall, Pittsburgh, PA 鈥� a hub of U.S. industry and manufacturing 鈥� will welcome thousands of chemical engineering researchers and practitioners, who will survey the field鈥檚 achievements and future prospects at the 2018 AIChE Annual Meeting, which will be held Oct. 28 through Nov. 2 at the Steel City鈥檚 David L. Lawrence Convention Center.

The meeting鈥檚 organizers have cast their eyes to the future, assembling a program that emphasizes new research and emerging opportunities for the profession. Advances in manufacturing with chemical engineers at the helm take a prominent position in the meeting鈥檚 technical program. Many of the meeting鈥檚 special sessions also emphasize themes related to manufacturing, while offering attendees a century-spanning overview of chemical engineering鈥檚 evolution, current opportunities, and future horizons.

Topical conferences

Topics in process intensification and modular manufacturing underscore an expanded Next-Gen Manufacturing Topical Conference, which will illustrate the ways that chemical engineers are creating new modes of manufacturing. Building on past conferences devoted to smart manufacturing, sessions will explore breakthroughs in additive manufacturing and 3D printing, as well as cybersecurity, Industry 4.0, and more.

Microbes at Biomedical Interfaces is another new frontier receiving its own topical conference. Here, engineers, scientists, and physicians will discuss how chemical engineering principles can help solve healthcare challenges, including novel materials and techniques for medical applications and infection control.

Another debut is a new conference on Immunotherapy and the revolution in cancer treatment. Whereas immunotherapy developments 鈥� ranging from protein therapeutics to cell-based therapies such as tumor-targeting T-cells 鈥� have thus far been the province of biologists, immunologists, and clinicians, this conference provides a new venue through which chemical engineers and leaders in immunotherapy can interact and identify areas of potential collaboration.

Featured events 

How will the world鈥檚 energy portfolio evolve in the years ahead? Is there a path to truly sustainable energy? A panel of thought-leaders will tackle such questions on Monday, Oct. 29, at the special session The Future of Energy in the Region, Nation, and World.

A special session on Tuesday, Oct. 30, takes a retrospective look at the past half-century of the chemicals and fuels sectors, and asks the provocative question 鈥淲hat the Heck Happened?鈥� The session will elaborate on several disruptions (e.g., the oil crises of the 1970s, the rise of shale gas, financial sector maneuvers) to what had been the industries鈥� status quo 鈥� and will consider how those influences have directed the field鈥檚 trajectory. 

AIChE鈥檚 very first Annual Meeting was held in Pittsburgh in 1908. To commemorate AIChE鈥檚 110 Years, on Tuesday, Oct. 30, the meeting programmers have invited leaders from academia, industry, and national labs to describe their visions for chemical engineering鈥檚 future. 

Also observing a milestone in 2018 is AIChE鈥檚 Women鈥檚 Initiatives Committee (WIC), which marks its 20th anniversary with a symposium 鈥淐elebrating Women in 91成人短视频 Engineering.鈥� The Tuesday, Oct. 30, event features 20 invited talks by prominent women in chemical engineering who will discuss the contributions of women chemical engineers across career stages and fields of practice. The WIC anniversary symposium is supported by a grant from the AIChE Foundation.

In August, the AIChE Journal publishes its inaugural 鈥淔utures鈥� issue, showcasing research conducted by early-career chemical engineers. At the Annual Meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 30, the work of six of these future pioneers will form a new session, AIChE Journal Futures: New Directions in 91成人短视频 Engineering Research.

Featured lectures, panels, and workshops

The John M. Prausnitz AIChE Institute Lecture, Wednesday, Oct. 31. Klavs Jensen, the Warren K. Lewis Professor of 91成人短视频 Engineering and Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT, underscores the meeting鈥檚 emphasis on advanced manufacturing with his lecture entitled 鈥淎ccelerating Development and Intensification of 91成人短视频 Processes.鈥� 

The Andreas Acrivos Award for Professional Progress in 91成人短视频 Engineering Lecture, Tuesday, Oct. 30. This lecture will be given by the Institute鈥檚 2017 Acrivos Professional Progress Award recipient, Orlin D. Velev, INVISTA Professor at North Carolina State Univ. In his talk, 鈥淢icroscale Engineering of Responsive, Flexible, and Reconfigurable Particle Structures,鈥� Velev will discuss the engineering principles underpinning novel classes of dynamically reconfigurable structures, with examples including magnetically reconfigurable gel networks, shape-changing microbots, and inks for 3D printing.

The P. V. Danckwerts Memorial Lecture, Monday, Oct. 29. Co-sponsored by AIChE, the European Federation of 91成人短视频 Engineering (EFCE), the Institution of 91成人短视频 Engineers (IChemE), and Elsevier, this year鈥檚 lecture will be delivered by Sang Yup Lee, Distinguished Professor of 91成人短视频 and Biomolecular Engineering at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). In his talk, 鈥淏iotechnology to Help Achieve the UN鈥檚 Sustainable Development Goals,鈥� Lee will describe how biotech is poised to help the United Nations achieve its global goals in the realms of climate change, sustainable production, and improved health and well-being.

AIChE鈥檚 Society for Biological Engineering (SBE) will present its Daniel I. C. Wang Award for Excellence in Biochemical Engineering and the James E. Bailey Award in Biological Engineering. The D. I. C. Wang Award Lecture is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 29, with a presentation by award recipient John G. Auni艈拧, Chief Technology Officer at Seres Therapeutics, Inc. The James E. Bailey Award Lecture, slated for Tuesday, Oct. 30, is highlighted by a talk from honoree Jeffrey Hubbell, the Eugene Bell Professor in Tissue Engineering at the Univ. of Chicago.

CCPS will hold a Process Safety Faculty Workshop, which teaches chemical engineering professors how to incorporate process safety into their existing curriculum and the importance of process safety education for undergraduates. The focus of this workshop is to demonstrate and practice course-relevant problems which introduce process safety concepts with little to no extra time.
