Biographies of Presenters |
Dr. Speth a Research Scientist in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Associate Director of the MIT Laboratory for Aviation and the Environment He has a particular interest in the development of efficient numerical simulation tools and is the lead developer of the Cantera software package, which is used for solving problems involving chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, and transport processes.
Dr. West is Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Northeastern University. He leads the Computational Modeling in Chemical Engineering (CoMoChEng) group, which performs research into the development of detailed microkinetic models for complex reacting systems, like combustion, heterogeneous catalysis, and bio-fuel processing.
Dr. Niemeyer is Associate Professor in the School of Mechanical, Industrial, and Manufacturing Engineering at Oregon State University. He leads the Niemeyer Research Group, which performs research into numerical modeling of reacting and non-reacting fluid systems, and also into using modern, highly parallel computing systems for tackling challenging problems related to energy and the environment.
