The Sixth Annual
Chemical Engineering Graduate Student Symposium
Thursday,
September 19, 2013
Location: Mary Gates Hall, Room 389 (3rd floor auditorium)
The Chemical Engineering Graduate Student Symposium will be held on September 19th. This event provides an excellent opportunity for graduate students to share their work with representatives from industry. For industry representatives this event is a chance to learn about the exciting research being done at the UW, meet future research leaders, and help improve the quality of graduate education in the Chemical Engineering department.
Our keynote speaker is Jud Virden, Associate Lab Director for the Energy and Environment Directorate at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).
