February 12, 2013

On behalf of ChEGSA and the 2013 symposium chairs, I am happy to announce that the 35th Annual ChEGSA Symposium will be held October 10-11, 2013. We ask that faculty and graduate students save the date, as we would love to have as many of you participate as possible.

This year’s Keynote Address will be given by Enrique Iglesia, the Theodore Vermeulen Chair Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley, Director of the Berkeley Catalysis Center, and Faculty Senior Scientist at the E.O. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Professor Iglesia has had a successful career in both industry and academia, spending 11 years at the Corporate Research Labs of Exxon Research and Engineering before joining the faculty at Berkeley. Professor Iglesia is a distinguished researcher in the field of heterogeneous catalysis and among his many accomplishments is a member of the National Academy of Engineering. We look forward to him visiting our department and participating in the Symposium. We believe his combination of research and teaching experience along with his accomplishments as a chemical engineer make him a perfect lecturer to headline the ChEGSA Symposium.

Mark your calendars! We are looking forward to another successful Symposium and hope to see you there.

Best Regards,

John Riley, Zhongnan Xu, Zixi Zhao
