Professors Carsten Sievers and Matt Realff will co-chair the event. \u201cA cross-industry event on lignocellulosics seems the perfect way to launch the Renewable Bioproducts Institute,\u201d commented Prof. Carsten Sievers. \u201cWe plan to build on the key points raised at the interdisciplinary colloquium Dr. Preet Singh led here last December, and bring in a cross-section of industries and Georgia Tech capabilities.\u201d The symposium will showcase Georgia Tech as one of the leading engineering institutions in the U.S. and display its commitment to research on the production of materials and chemicals from renewable resources.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Cem\u003ECorrosion Symposium\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Preet Singh, who led the campus colloquium on lignocellulosics last December, will also host an industry symposium this fall, on corrosion.
