We'd like to encourage abstract contributions for talks at our upcoming session, "New Developments in Computational Catalysis", at the 2017 AIChE annual meeting in Minneapolis, MN, which runs from October 29 to November 3, 2017. The abstract deadline is fast approaching: Monday, April 17th. This session focuses on advances in electronic structure methodology or modeling strategies suitable to address outstanding problems in catalysis. Examples include, but are not limited to, improvements in accuracy and efficiency of electronic structure methodology, application and extension of machine learning to quantum chemistry, and approaches that address challenges in modeling interfacial phenomena or complex reaction networks.

 

Our session will be anchored by an invited talk from Prof. Laura Gagliardi (University of Minnesota).

 

We hope to receive your contribution.

 

To submit an abstract: 

1. Go to https://aiche.confex.com/aiche/2017/cfp.cgi

2. Scroll down below “Begin a Submission to the following” and click on the blue "Catalysis and Reaction Engineering Division" to expose and click on a button that says "Begin a Submission"

3. Select "20000 New Developments in Computational Catalysis I” and then click “Save and Continue"

 

If you have any questions regarding the abstract submission system or you or one of your students would like additional information about the conference and session, please do not hesitate to contact us ([email protected]).

 

For those of you with interested postdocs or students, the “meet the faculty candidate” poster session (in Area 4: Education) is a premier location to interface with search committees regarding academic job openings as well. 

 

Thanks,

Heather Kulik, Shaama Sharada, Bin Liu, and Eric Walker
