Klavs F. Jensen, professor of materials science and engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), will deliver the 16th annual Julian C. Smith Lectureship in the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Monday, April 7, and Wednesday, April 9.
Both talks will be given at 4 p.m. and will be preceded by a 3:30 p.m. reception in the Fred H. Rhodes Lounge in Olin Hall. Both lectures are free and open to the public.
His Monday talk, in 165 Olin Hall, is titled, "Multiphase transport and reaction in microfluidic systems;" and on Wednesday, in 255 Olin Hall, he will discuss "Microfluidic chemical and biological systems for synthesis."
Prior to joining the MIT faculty in 1989, Jensen was a faculty member in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science and a fellow of the Supercomputer Institute at the University of Minnesota. His research interests revolve around microfabrication, testing, integration and scale-up of microfluidic systems for chemical and biochemical discovery and processing. His interests also concern chemical kinetics and transport phenomena related to processing of organic and inorganic materials for electronic and optical applications.
The Julian C. Smith Lectureship in Chemical Engineering was established in 1988 by members of the Cornell chemical engineering class of 1962 and other friends, colleagues and former students to honor the professor emeritus of chemical engineering.
Each year the fund brings a leader in the field of chemical engineering to Cornell to lecture and interact with students and faculty members.
