Stanford Chemical Engineering Online Master’s Degree
February 15, 2018 | 11am - 12 pm PST
A recording of this webinar will be made available within a week of the live session.
Life. Energy. Environment. This triad of engineering priorities is perhaps unmatched in its potential for improving the quality of life for all inhabitants of planet Earth. And at the heart of all three is chemical engineering, which holds the key to a healthier, cleaner and more efficient world, and a better tomorrow for all.
In an effort to propel this vision forward, the Stanford Chemical Engineering department has launched its online, part-time master's degree program. This new offering will expand the reach of Chemical Engineering to working professionals all over the world.

About the Speakers
Eric Shaqfeh is the Lester Levi Carter Professor and Department Chair of Chemical Engineering at Stanford University. He earned a B.S.E. summa cum laude from Princeton University (1981), and a M.S. (1982) and Ph.D. (1986) from Stanford University all in Chemical Engineering. He joined the Stanford Chemical Engineering faculty in early 1990, and in 2001 he received a dual appointment and became Professor of Mechanical Engineering. He is most recently (as of 2004) a faculty member in the Institute of Computational and Mathematical Engineering at Stanford. He has authored or co-authored over 180 publications and has been an Associate Editor of the Physics of Fluids since 2006. Shaqfeh has been awarded the APS Francois N. Frenkiel Award, the NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award, the David and Lucile Packard Fellowship in Science and Engineering, among many others. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and a member of the National Academy of Engineering.
Lisa Hwang is a senior lecturer in the Chemical Engineering department and is co-academic director of the Stanford Chemical Engineering Online Master’s Degree program. She received her BS in Chemical Engineering from MIT and her MS and PhD in Chemical Engineering from Stanford working with the Curt Frank group on polymer thin films and interfaces. She has served as a Lecturer Consultant for Office of the Vice Provost for Teaching and Learning and is the Faculty Director of TA Training for the Chemical Engineering department. She has been teaching in the Chemical Engineering department since 2006. 
Elizabeth Sattely is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Stanford and a Stanford ChEM-H Faculty Fellow. She also serves as an Honorary Adjunct Staff Scientist at the Carnegie Institution of Science. Dr. Sattely completed her graduate training at Boston College in organic chemistry and her postdoctoral studies in biochemistry at Harvard Medical School where she worked on natural product biosynthesis in bacteria. Inspired by human reliance on plants and plant-derived molecules for food and medicine, the Sattely laboratory is focused on the discovery and engineering of plant metabolic pathways to make molecules that can enhance human and plant health. Work in the Sattely lab has been recognized by an NIH New Innovator Award, a DOE Early Career Award, an HHMI-Simons Faculty Scholar Award, and a AAAS Mason Award for Women in the Chemical Sciences.
Alex Dunn is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Stanford University. His research focuses on understanding how living cells sense mechanical stimuli, with particular interests in stem cell biology and tissue engineering. Dr. Dunn worked as a postdoctoral scholar with James Spudich in the Department of Biochemistry at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He received his Ph.D. at the California Institute of Technology under the direction of Harry Gray, where his work focused on understanding the catalytic mechanism selective C-H bond oxidation by cytochrome P450 enzymes. His work has been recognized with numerous awards, including the Hertz Fellowship, Jane Coffin Childs Postdoctoral Fellowship, the Burroughs Welcome Career Award at the Scientific Interface, and NIH Director’s New Innovator Award.REGISTER TO ATTEND
