Scott Fogler, a professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, will be the third ChE GSA-selected seminar speaker. His seminar will take place on March 3, 2016, 11:15 am – 12:30 pm in 102 Chemistry Building. Many chemical engineering graduate students likely know Dr. Fogler as the author of the textbook “Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering”. Dr. Fogler’s and his group have been very successful, graduating over 40 Ph.D. students and publishing over 230 research article. The ChE GSA is looking forward to hosting Dr. Fogler for his seminar in March.
