EERG members had a memorable gathering before the end of year 2016.
NSERC IRC in Novel Carbon Dioxide Capture Technologies for Oil Sands Operations
NSERC IRC in Novel Carbon Dioxide Capture Technologies for Oil Sands Operations Was Successfully Established in EERG.
Summer students had a lunch gathering with current PhD student and Postdoc.
Indian School Principal/Counsellors visited EERG Lab on Saturday (September 29, 2012)
to see one of laborotarium facility in UofC at graduate level. During their visit, Dr. Mahinpey share his research idea and progress in bioenergy area.
More than a dozen Principal/Councellor are coming from different city in India to have a tour to Canada.
The visit is part of their tour this fall to observe the option at Canadian University for their students after the high school graduation graduation.
New British Consul General Tony Kay visited EERG Lab last Thursday (August 16, 2012)
to learn about research progress in bioenergy production and sustainability field. During his visit, he was accompanied by dean of engineering and his western science and innovation team.
The visit is part of the event (August 20) hosted by ISEEE and CMC. The event attended by 12 UK delegation and
representatives from University of Calgary to discuss the idea and potential collaboration in carbon capture and storage R&D.
Dr. Liu and Dr Yan Zi-Feng visit the EERG lab at EEEL building today (August 16, 2012) to exchange ideas about research in bioenergy.
Dr. Liu is the Dean of Engineering of China University of Petroleum (Qingdao, China) which Dr. Mahinpey visited recently (May, 2012).
EERG Director Dr. Nader Mahinpey just got back from an academic trip to China.
He accepted an invitation from the China University of Petroleum (Qingdao, China)
to visit Qingdao during the second week of May 2012.
While in China, Dr. Mahinpey met with Dean of Engineering Dr Liu Chenguang
and gave series of lectures in the area of Bioenergy Production and
CO2 Capture Technology in front of about 200 graduate students and university staff.
“China University of Petroleum has shown me that they are ready to compete
with other world class university to be a leader in the area of petroleum science and engineering.
I also learned a lot about the hard working culture of their student and Chinese people
in general during my visit to Qingdao” said Dr. Mahinpey. “I cannot wait to continue
my work with my group and contribute to the progress of bioenergy research in Canada and the world.”
China university of Petroleum is one of the top petroleum science and engineering focused university in the Chinese education system.
In 1997, it ranked among the key universities of the "211 Project".
This project was initiated in 1995 by the Ministry of Education, with the intent of raising the research standards of high-level universities and to accelerate the socio-economic development of China.
University has over 17,000 regular undergraduates, over 2,000 postgraduates, over 139,000 correspondence students and over 6,000 Internet students.
One of the EERG member (Aqsha) has been selected as top six finalists at Alberta Graduate Conference
2012 (Edmonton, May 3-5)
to compete in the From the Forge into the Fire, a dynamic Dragons' Den style presentation competition juried
by leading innovators in industry.
Alberta Graduate Conference is a multi-disciplinary event supports graduate students in their efforts to translate their education
and research into meaningful career opportunities.
By linking graduate students with future employers, investors and university administrators,
the AGC accelerates the process of innovation, bridging the gap between academia and industry
and providing a forum to exchange experiences and discuss the practical challenges encountered.
Dr. Jim Lim visited the EERG lab at EEEL building yesterday and shared his thought about biomass research in fluidization technology.
Dr. Jim Lim is faculty staff at Chemical and Biological Engineering University of British Columbia. His research has been focused on biomass gasification with CO2 capture in a fluidized bed and also hydrogen production.
He gave a short visit yesterday to EERG Lab to discuss several idea about the biomass research with Dr. Nader Mahinpey and his group.
Dr. McLaughlin visit the EERG lab at EEEL building today to share his thought about biochar research and some insight about carbon capture technology.
Hugh McLaughlin is Director of Biocarbon Research at Alterna Biocarbon, a biocarbon manufacturing firm headquartered in Prince George, British Columbia. He has worked in process development and environmental engineering for more than three decades mostly as consulting engineer to a wide variety of manufacturing operations. He is an expert in the area of activated carbon manufacture and its utilization in air and water treatment applications.
Hugh has several patents in the area of activated carbon use and regeneration. He has led efforts at Alterna Biocarbon to enhance the native adsorption capacity of Alterna Biocarbons, enabling biocarbons to be utilized in applications traditionally requiring more expensive carbon products.
This story was printed on The Calgary Herald newspaper January 28,2012
The chemical engineering professor is working with about a dozen doctoral, post-doctoral and other graduate engineering students that form part of the Energy and the Environment Group at the school.
He says biomass as a source of energy is a rapidly growing field even though it receives a lot less attention in Alberta, which is rich in natural gas and oil.
Please join us for our next Speaker, Dr. Scott Fogler, in the Zandmer Distinguished Lecture Series 2011-2012.
Dr. Fogler is the Ame and Catherine Vennema Professor of Chemical Engineering and the Arthur F. Thunau professor
at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and was the 2009 president of the American Institute of
Chemical Engineers.
