The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering will host an Oct. 30 reception during the 2018 AIChE Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The reception will be from 7:30-10 p.m. in Room 318 of the David L. Lawrence Convention Center at 206 Federal Street in Pittsburgh. Alumni, colleagues, friends, future faculty and prospective graduate students are invited to attend the Nebraska reception, meet faculty and graduate students from Nebraska and learn about the research that is being conducted in the department. No registration is required, but attendees will be asked to sign in at the door. Food and drinks will be provided. For more information, contact Rajib Saha (rsaha2@unl.edu), Srivatsan Kidambi (skidambi2@unl.edu) or Aaron Howell (ahowell3@unl.edu).

Michael Sealy, assistant professor of mechanical and materials engineering, has gained much local media attention for his research using cutting-edge 3D printers to build implants that can slowly dissolve in the body, which would negate the need for follow-up surgeries to remove such implants.

Nebraska’s Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Hunter Flodman, assistant professor of practice, were featured in an Omaha World-Herald article about the state amping up its promotion of fuels with higher percentages of ethanol. The new ethanol test could be either a “myth-buster” or “warranty-buster” and Nebraska engineers will be measuring the effects of higher ethanol blends – cost per mile, engine performance, maintenance and other factors.
