ChBE assistant professor, a computational chemical engineer, to advance fundamental understanding of promising approach for safe, streamlined, cost-effective biomass and CO₂ conversion

Is it possible to build safe, sustainable chemical plants on a small scale? The kind of plants that could—among other things—convert biomass into biofuel, on the very farms producing those crops?

The ISE Department is proud to announce Theodore Ralphs, Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering, as the recipient of the 2021 Lehigh University Rossin College Outstanding Doctoral Student Advising Award.
