Ari Mulyadi, a recent Paper Science & Engineering (PSE) graduate, recently attended the 2016 AlChE Annual Meeting in San Francisco after his abstract was accepted for oral presentation during the conference. The event provides a venue for leaders, innovators, and scientists in the chemical engineering world to share their knowledge in fundamental, applied, and new groundbreaking areas.

Mulyadi presented “Exploring Cellulose Nanofibrils as Renewable Resource for Metal-Free Heteroatoms-Doped Carbon Electrocatalyst” during the cellulose-base materials conference session.

The meeting offers opportunities for students to share their research work; have peer interaction with the professors, fellow students, industry representatives, and scientists from government labs; discover new research ideas and approaches and potential collaboration across specializations; and gain a deeper knowledge on a specific research area. More than 7,000 attended the five-day event, which featured more than 20 subject areas and topical conferences, such as forest and plant bioproducts, sustainable engineering, biomaterials, composites, and many more.
