10 am to 11 am
Prof. Dr. Christine Grant
(North Carolina State University, USA)
Advancing Chemical Engineering: What is our “NEXT”?
(60 min)
Christine Grant is the Associate Dean of Faculty Advancement and Professor of Chemical Engineering in the College of Engineering at North Carolina State University. Her academic and research focus areas include surface and environmental science, mass transfer and biomedical sell systems. Since 2022 she is the 2022 President of AIChE. She had received her academic degrees in Chemical Engineering at Brown University (BSc), MS and PhD at Georgia Institute of Technology. Grant studies the mechanisms that underpin fouling and decontamination. Her work investigates the chemical and transport processes that occur at the solid-liquid interface, and drive the formation and removal of deposits. Amongst the industrial areas considered by Grant are the removal of organics from glass, the removal of calcium compounds from stainless steel and the deposition of lubricants in disk drive assemblies. She has demonstrated that additives can be used to reduce the degradation and aggregation of lubricants at high temperatures. Grant is the founder of STEM Resilience, an organization that seeks to support marginalized groups in science, technology and engineering. She has held various leadership positions in the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). she was the first African-American woman to be elected Fellow of the Society and has served as Chair of the Minority Affairs Committee and on the Board of Directors.
