Academic Travel Support for the Process Systems Engineering Conference 2009 in Salvador Brazil: August 16-20, 2009

0917447比格勒学术奖：这是为30名美国化学工程初级学者（研究生、博士后研究人员和助理教授）提供的旅费补助，他们将参加2009年8月16-20日在巴西巴伊亚的萨尔瓦多举行的过程系统工程会议（PSE 2009）。 每人750美元的预算拨款用于部分机票或登记费支助。PSE 2009的特别重点是可持续性，能源和工程。 PSE 2009是自1982年以来三年一度的过程系统工程国际会议系列的第十届。 PSE会议是过程系统工程的主要会议，涵盖过程设计，控制和操作领域。 这些会议以前的地点包括美国科罗拉多的Keystone（2000年）、中国昆明（2003年）和德国的加米施-帕尔滕基兴（2006年）。 会议的目的是汇集全球PSE社区的研究人员和从业人员，他们参与创建和应用基于计算的方法，用于化学，石化和生物过程工业的规划，设计，操作，控制和维护。更广泛的影响：PSE 2009的特别重点是这些PSE方法和工具如何支持绿色工程领域的可持续资源系统和新兴技术，即，这些工序的设计及运作均须符合环保及能源效益的原则。

0917447BieglerIntellectual Merit:This is a travel grant for 30 U.S. chemical engineering junior-level academics (graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and assistant professors) to participate in Process Systems Engineering Conference (PSE 2009), August, 16-20, 2009 in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The budgeted allocation of $750 per person is for partial airfare or registration fee support. The special focus of the PSE 2009 is Sustainability, Energy and Engineering. PSE 2009 is the tenth in the triennial series of international conferences on process systems engineering initiated in 1982. The PSE conferences are the premier meetings for process systems engineering, encompassing the areas of process design, control and operations. Previous venues for these meetings include Keystone, Colorado, USA (2000), Kunming, China (2003) and Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany (2006). The purpose of the meeting is to bring together the worldwide PSE community of researchers and practitioners who are involved in the creation and application of computing-based methodologies for planning, design, operation, control and maintenance of chemical, petrochemical and biological process industries. Broader Impact:The special focus of PSE 2009 is on the topic of how these PSE methods and tools can support sustainable resource systems and emerging technologies in the areas of green engineering, i.e., the environmentally conscious and energy efficient design and operation of these processes.
