5th Annual Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Graduate Research Symposium (GRS)

Each year, the GRS brings together Ohio State chemical engineering researchers, alumni, and industry partners for a day of learning, networking, and information-sharing.

Sponsored in part by Dow Chemical, the Symposium showcases outstanding research being conducted by faculty and graduate students, and offers many benefits.

For those who work in industry, GRS:

  • opens windows of thought regarding research applications that could foster greater cost-efficiency, profitability, and innovation;
  • allows industry representatives to meet and interview students as prospective employees (note: HR reps will want to also take advantage of the Fall Engineering Expo / Career Fair on September 21);
  • creates networking opportunities in an intellectually stimulating environment.

For alumni, the GRS:

  • provides ideas for reinvigorating one’s work;
  • is an easy way to reunite with old friends;
  • offers gratifying opportunities to serve as a role model or mentor to students.

 

Attendees learn about such research as:

  • Nanomaterials, Catalysis and Reaction engineering:
  • Clean energy (chemical looping, CO2 capture) and systems that enhance cost-efficient energy production;
  • Catalyst design; high-performance, cost-efficient materials;
  • Bioengineering and biotechnology
  • Biofuels and biobased chemicals made from engineered microorganisms;
  • Cancer and medical diagnostics; tissue engineering, transfusion and regenerative medicine;
  • Drug delivery technologies and biopharmaceutical downstream processing;
  • Process engineering and sustainability
  • Systems that preserve and extend resources;
  • Toxicity assessment of compounds without animal testing: testing materials for use in pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, chemicals and food;
  • Membrane research: water treatment and purification.

Registration includes breakfast, lunch, and a networking reception. Events include a keynote address, technical presentations, a panel session, and one-on-one opportunities to converse with researchers during the poster sessions or meals.

The 2016 GRS website provides information about how to register.
