SUMMARY:Chemical engineering and beyond
DESCRIPTION:Chemical engineering is traditionally thought of as the discipl
 ine which enables the transfer of chemistry from the lab to industrial sca
 le chemical processes. Whilst this may be true\, it is only a limited defi
 nition.  A better definition today might be that chemical engineering is 
 an amalgamation of different fields of learning\, maths\, chemistry\, phys
 ics and therefore an interdisciplinary discipline if you will. Certainly t
 his is the definition which is appropriate for describing the research\, p
 ast to present\, which will be reviewed in this lecture. \nSome examples 
 will be offered to provide insight into the different research areas studi
 ed.  One topic\, ‘wetting hydrodynamics’\, will be discussed at great
 er length to showcase some of the advanced mathematical-numerical methodol
 ogies developed\, as well as interesting results and their implications. I
 n closing\, excursions into new research areas and open questions will be 
 outlined.\nBiography\nSerafim Kalliadasis received his Diploma in Chemical
  Engineering from the Polytechnic School of the Aristotle University of Th
 essaloniki\, Greece\, and his PhD from the University of Notre Dame\, USA.
  Following a post-doctoral position at the School of Mathematics\, Univers
 ity of Bristol\, he joined the Department of Chemical Engineering of the U
 niversity of Leeds\, where he rose through the ranks from Lecturer to Read
 er in Fluid Mechanics.\nIn 2004 he moved to Imperial College London as a R
 eader in Fluid Mechanics and was promoted to Professor of Engineering Scie
 nce and Applied Mathematics in 2010. He has held a number of visiting posi
 tions at institutions including the Laboratoire FAST\, France\, the Unidad
  de Fluidos\, Instituto Pluridisciplinar\, Madrid\, and the University of 
 Stanford\, USA. His research is at the interface between applied mathemati
 cs\, engineering science and complex systems.\nChair: Professor Andrew Liv
 ingston\, Head of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemical Tech
 nology\nVote of thanks: Andreas Acrivos\, Albert Einstein Professor of Sci
 ence and Engineering Emeritus\, City College of New York
