Dear All,

Dr. Ilja Siepmann, of the University of Minnesota, will be giving a
seminar Wednesday, April 24th, at 3:30 p.m. in 338 Johnston Hall at
Louisiana State University. The title of his talk is "Extraction,
Scorpion, and Retention Processes: Molecular-Level Insights from Monte
Carlo Simulations."

Abstract:
Molecular simulations using efficient Monte Carlo algorithms and
accurate force fields are used to explore complex separation
processes: (i) the liquid-liquid extraction of ethanol from aqueous
solution, (ii) the adsorption of binary and ternary mixtures of
alcohols and water onto silicalite-1, and (iii) the retention of
alkanes, alcohols, and arenes in reversed-phase liquid chromatography.
   The simulations yield molecular-level information on the factors
that govern selectivity and capacity and aid in the design of more
efficient separation processes.

J. Ilja Siepmann is the Distinguished McKnight University Professor,
Distinguished Teaching Professor and Merck Professor in the Department
of Chemistry at the University of Minnesota, where he is also
Department Vice Chair and Director of Graduate Studies in Chemical
Physics. He has an undergraduate degree in Chemistry from the
University of Freiburg in Germany, and a Doctor of Philosophy degree
in Chemistry from the University of Cambridge. After completing
postdoctoral work at IBM Zurich, Koninklijke/Shell-Laboratorium in
Amsterdam and the Department of Chemistry at the University of
Pennsylvania, he joined the faculty at the University of Minnesota in
1994. Other honors include a Camille and Henry Dreyfus New Faculty
Award (1994), an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship (1998), and a
Best-in-Show in the Third Industrial Fluid Properties Simulation
Challenge (2006). His research interests include the use of
statistical mechanics and molecular simulation in chromatography,
phase equilibria, microheterogeneous fluids and planetary materials,
as well as development of classical force fields and novel simulation
algorithms.

The seminar will be a live broadcast from Louisiana State University,
and can be viewed live at the sites listed below:

UNO - Liberal Arts Building 234
Xavier - Qatar Pavilion Conference Room 226
Southern University - JB Moore Hall, Room 211
LATech - PML 1015, Center for Instructional Technology, at the Wyly Tower

The seminar will also be accessible via adobe connect by clicking on

Please let me know if you have any questions.
