The 9th World Congress of Chemical Engineering will be held August 18-23, 2013 in Seoul, Korea. To increase the presence of US researchers at the Congress, this proposal seeks support to offset the travel expenses of approximately 20 US faculty who will participate as speakers. It should be noted that all of the speakers invited by the PI have strong ties to the Process and Reaction Engineering division of CBET.The invited speakers consist of two main subgroups:1. The twelve to fourteen speakers making up two new reaction engineering sessions organized for the World Congress by the PI and Dr. Maria Burka;2. An additional group of process systems faculty invited by the PI, selected to add a strong systems component to already established sessions at the World Congress.Intellectual merit: The reaction engineering sessions will focus on computational, energy, and environmental aspects of reaction engineering, as well as microchemical systems and modeling the interaction of reaction and transport mechanisms. Furthermore, the sessions on sustainability, energy, and process safety will receive a substantial benefit from our invited systems-oriented speakers, bolstering the quantitative aspects of these important ChE research areas. The PI has invited a mix of early-career and more established speakers with an emphasis on the junior faculty who stand to improve their international presence by participating in this conference.Broader impact: The exchange of ideas and current trends in Chemical Engineering research between the US, Korean, and other international participants has the potential to broadly impact the Congress participants. US participants supported by this travel grant will benefit from Congress themes that include university-industry cooperation and chemical engineering education. The proposal PI will encourage speakers supported by this travel grant to participate in publishing their work in the special issue of Chemical Engineering Science that will be devoted to the World Congress.

第九届世界化学工程大会将于2013年8月18日至23日在韩国首尔举行。为了增加美国研究人员参加大会的人数，本提案寻求支持，以抵消大约20名美国教师作为演讲者参加会议的旅费。值得注意的是，PI邀请的所有演讲者都与CBET的过程和反应工程部门有着密切的联系。受邀的演讲者包括两个主要小组：1。由PI和Maria Burka博士为世界大会组织的两个新的反应工程会议的12至14名发言人；由PI邀请的另外一组过程系统教员，被选中为世界大会已经建立的会议增加一个强大的系统组件。智力优势：反应工程课程将侧重于反应工程的计算、能源和环境方面，以及微化学系统和反应与输运机制相互作用的建模。此外，关于可持续性、能源和过程安全的会议将从我们邀请的面向系统的演讲者那里获得实质性的好处，支持这些重要的ChE研究领域的定量方面。PI邀请了一些早期职业和更成熟的演讲者，重点是年轻教师，他们将通过参加这次会议来提高他们的国际知名度。更广泛的影响：美国，韩国和其他国际参与者之间在化学工程研究方面的思想和当前趋势的交流有可能广泛影响大会的参与者。获得旅费资助的美国参会者将受益于国会的主题，包括大学-工业合作和化学工程教育。提议倡议团将鼓励得到这项旅行补助金的发言者参加在世界大会专门出版的《化学工程科学》特刊上发表他们的工作。
