2019-2020 Ensor Lecturship

Christopher Jones, the William R. McLain Chair and Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology will be the keynote speaker at the 2019-2020 Ensor Lectureship at 4 p.m., Oct. 7 in the Spark 335.

Jones will present “Amine-Modified Silicates as CO2 Sorbents that Enable Direct Air Capture Technologies” and discuss methods to capture and use fossil fuels for global energy demands without increasing C02 levels in the atmosphere.

Jones is known for his extensive and pioneering work on materials that extract CO2 from mixtures like ambient air. He has published nearly 300 peer-reviewed scholarly papers on catalysis and separations.

In 2016, he was recognized by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers for his work in catalysis and CO2 capture with the Andreas Acrivos Award for Professional Progress.

Reception starts at 3 p.m. in the Spark Sky View Lounge (room 306).

The Ensor Lectureship was established in 2016 to encourage communication and collaboration on emerging ideas in any area related to chemical engineering, bioengineering, aerosol technology and nanotechnology. The recipient is selected by the Gene and Linda Voiland School of Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering based on his or her contributions to research.
