AIChE's Sustainable Engineering Forum Recognizes Singh for Best Paper

Shweta Singh,a student in Bhavik Bakshi's research group, won the best paper award from AIChE's Sustainable Engineering Forum (SEF). The paper was published in Environmental Science and Technology.

One of SEF's goals is to help achieve sustainable development with chemical engineering. Specific focus areas of the forum include: using appropriate metrics for sustainability, developing approaches for designing products and processes that can be optimized to desired metrics criteria and that incorporate environmental and societal benefit factors, and assessing impacts of resource use (energy, material, and cost) on environmental and social benefits (or otherwise) of products, processes, and services.

Since receiving this honor, Shweta graduated and is now on the faculty at Purdue.
