PI: Aaron ScurtoProposal Number: 1226262This workshop on high-pressure processes is scheduled for May 13-14, 2012 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in San Francisco. The workshop will center on several important areas of energy conversion at elevated pressures: 1) bio-renewable processing: gasification, biodiesel, and lignocellulose and 2) process intensification for lower energy and/or feedstock usage. Approximately 10 speakers will be invited to share their latest research and provide their insight regarding developing trends and potentially fruitful research directions. In terms of the broader impacts, students at various levels of education (from undergraduate to graduate to postdoctoral) will be aided by this proposed workshop. This will help educate and motivate the next generation of researchers and educators. Students from underrepresented groups will be encouraged to attend. At the conclusion, the PI will write a detailed report about the various presentations and panel discussions for limited distribution and for public distribution on his website. The presentations and the panel discussions will yield a section on the major challenges in energy within the high-pressure community. The report will provide valuable information and insights that could help guide future grand challenges and research directions.Overall, this is a timely forum on the application of high pressure processes to important sustainability issues. In addition, the participants will provide insight into new research directions, and they will describe potential applications along with milestones for their realization. The results will be disseminated through a detailed report, which will be posted on the PI?s website.

主要研究者：Aaron Scurto提案编号：1226262高压工艺研讨会定于2012年5月13日至14日在旧金山弗朗西斯科的凯悦酒店举行。 研讨会将集中在高压下能源转换的几个重要领域：1）生物可再生加工：气化，生物柴油和木质纤维素和2）降低能源和/或原料使用的过程强化。 大约10位演讲者将被邀请分享他们的最新研究，并提供他们对发展趋势和潜在的富有成果的研究方向的见解。 就更广泛的影响而言，各级教育（从本科到研究生到博士后）的学生将得到拟议讲习班的帮助。这将有助于教育和激励下一代研究人员和教育工作者。将鼓励代表性不足群体的学生参加。在结束时，PI将编写一份关于各种演讲和小组讨论的详细报告，在其网站上进行有限分发和公开分发。演讲和小组讨论将产生一个关于高压社区内能源面临的主要挑战的部分。该报告将提供有价值的信息和见解，有助于指导未来的重大挑战和研究方向。总的来说，这是一个及时的论坛，讨论高压过程在重要的可持续发展问题上的应用。 此外，与会者将提供新的研究方向的见解，他们将描述潜在的应用沿着其实现的里程碑。 结果将通过一份详细的报告传播，该报告将张贴在PI上。的网站。
