In this collaborative GOALI award, co-funded by the Chemical Measurement and Imaging Program of the Division of Chemistry and the Biotechnology, Biochemical and Biomass Engineering and the Chemical and Biological Separations Programs of the Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transports Systems Division, Professor Joern Siepmann of the University of Minnesota, Prof. Jake Rafferty of North Hennepin Community College and their undergraduate and graduate student researchers will work collaboratively with scientists from the Dow Chemical company to model the molecular processes taking place in a variety of analytical and separations experiments, including: reversed-phase liquid chromatography, hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatrography, ion chromatography, and the analyte distribution in self-assembled monolayers used for surface-enhanced Raman scattering. The computational approaches that Profs. Siepmann, Rafferty and their students are developing will be combined with experimental data measured by Dr. Mark Schure and collaborators at Dow Chemical to better understand the process taking place in these experimental systems. The ultimate goal of these kinds of experiments is to improve these processes for science and engineering applications. The ability to cleanly and efficiently separate complex chemical mixtures into their separate components is of critical importance to a number of important industries, including the production of fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, etc. The separation and purification steps in the production of these commodities is also one that can use significant quantities of materials and produce significant amount of waste. By developing better methods for separations, Siepmann, Rafferty and others hope to improve the selectivity and efficiency of these important processes. The graduate and undergraduate students working on this project will gain useful experience in academic and industrial settings, which will help prepare them well for a wide variety of careers in science and technology. This project will also involve the participation of high school and community college students in this research, which will help to excite and engage the next generation of scientists.

在这个合作GOALI奖，由化学和生物技术，生物化学和生物质工程部的化学测量和成像计划以及化学，生物工程，环境和运输系统部的化学和生物分离计划共同资助，明尼苏达大学的Joern Siepmann教授，北亨内平社区学院的Jake Rafford教授及其本科生和研究生研究人员将与陶氏化学公司的科学家合作，模拟各种分析和分离实验中发生的分子过程，包括以下步骤：反相液相色谱法、亲水相互作用液相色谱法、离子色谱法和用于表面增强拉曼散射的自组装单层中的分析物分布。 计算方法，教授。Siepmann，Rafford和他们的学生正在开发的将与Mark Schure博士和陶氏化学的合作者测量的实验数据相结合，以更好地了解这些实验系统中发生的过程。 这类实验的最终目标是为了科学和工程应用而改进这些过程。 将复杂的化学混合物清洁有效地分离成其单独组分的能力对于许多重要的工业至关重要，包括精细化学品、药物等的生产。这些商品的生产中的分离和纯化步骤也是可以使用大量材料并产生大量废物的步骤。通过开发更好的分离方法，Siepmann，Raffaly和其他人希望提高这些重要过程的选择性和效率。 从事该项目的研究生和本科生将在学术和工业环境中获得有用的经验，这将有助于他们为科学和技术领域的各种职业做好准备。 该项目还将涉及高中和社区大学学生参与这项研究，这将有助于激发和吸引下一代科学家。
