Denmark’s Chemicals Industry - Review Article by Messrs. Sin, Gani and Dam-Johansen - Published in CEP Magazine

# The 5 Apr 2013.

Leading scientists at DTU Chemical Engineering, Asc. Prof. Gürkan and Professors Kim Dam-Johansen and Rafiqul Gani, have written a review article on the Danish chemical and biochemical industry – and its growing demand for engineers and scientists. The review, published in CEP Magazine, includes background information on Denmark’s industrialization – with a focus on industries based on the agricultural sector. The emerging chemical sector of the 1970s spurred by exploitation of North Sea oil & gas is also described.

The primary focus of the article is on modern life-science industries and clusters within the medical industry, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and energy. Read the article in CEP Magazine.

For further information, please contact Associate Professor Gürkan Sin, gsi@kt.dtu.dk.

Professor Rafiqul Gani 2013 Bayer Lecturer at Carnegie Mellon

# The 5 Apr 2013.

Professor Rafiqul Gani, Head of CAPEC research centre at DTU Chemical Engineering is this year’s Bayer lecturer in process systems engineering at Carnegie Mellon University.

The goal of the Bayer Lecture Series at Carnegie Mellon is to “present state-of-the-art research work in the area of Process Systems Engineering” by “speakers of international recognition”. Professor Lorenz T. Biegler was the first speaker in this series of lectures. Professor Gani is the 13th speaker in the series.

On 5 March Professor Gani held his lecture on the subject of Computer Aided Solvent Selection, Design and Application.
