The annual ChEGSA research symposium started in 1979 with the goal of showcasing the work of our graduate researchers, promoting intra-departmental research collaborations, and connecting our students to industry. This two-day event features graduate research presentations, a poster session, and corporate-sponsored keynote addresses given by distinguished chemical engineers from academic, government, or industrial institutions.

This year marks the 44th Anniversary of the Symposium.

For the event's first Keynote Address, we are excited to welcome back Professor David Sholl Ph.D. from the Georgia Institute of Technology. Dr. Sholl joined Georgia Tech in 2008 prior to which he was a faculty member at Carnegie Mellon University for 10 years. Dr. Sholl has also recently joined the Oak Ridge National Lab in July 2021. Dr. Sholl’s research uses atomistic simulations to use atomic level interactions to understand macroscopic behaviors in a wide range of materials for industrial application. He has received a number of awards over his career including the E.Kears Pollock/ PPG Industries Grant for Young Faculty and the National Science Foundation CAREER awards from 2002-2005. In 2017 he received the “Highly Prolific Author” recognition from the Journal of Physical Chemistry. Currently he serves as a senior Editor of Langmuir (ACS journal) and became a fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers in 2019.

The second Keynote Address will be given by our own alumna, Muge Erdirik Dogan Ph.D. Dr. Erdirik Dogan is the President of Amazon Fashion. She joined the company in 2007 and over the last 15 years has led category, technology, and operations teams.
