2024 Peter O. Stahl Advanced Design Forum

Welcome

The Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science (CEMS) is pleased to welcome you to the 2024 Peter O. Stahl Advanced Design Forum. Enabled by a donation from Peter Stahl’s wife, Dr. Cynthia Arnold, and co-sponsored by IPRIME and CSE DSI, this forum aims to bring together industry leaders, government stakeholders, and academic researchers, to foster collaboration and sharing of data science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning best practices, to transform the ways in which chemicals and materials are designed, developed, and produced. It exemplifies the commitment of CEMS to excellence in research and education, now leveraging the emerging fields of data science and machine learning. Industrial sponsors of this year’s event include Medtronic, DuPont, Cabot, Eastman, Milliken, Lubrizol, and KPMG.

The forum will include sessions and panel discussions led by experts from organizations including Medtronic, BASF, P&G, Eastman, Ecolab, Honeywell, DuPont, Schrödinger, Meta, KPMG, Polar Semiconductor, Milliken, Shelman Group , and more!

Session and panel discussion themes:

• AI in Chemicals & Materials: Current Status and Future Directions
