Speaker
Dr Lukas Gerstweiler
Lecturer
The University Of Adelaide
How 'Explainable ML' Can Improve Process Performance
1:45 PM - 2:00 PM
Lukas Gerstweiler is a lecturer in Chemical Engineering at the University of Adelaide, where he leads the Biomanufacturing Research Group. His work focuses on continuous biomanufacturing, mRNA and virus-like particle production, and chromatographic purification methods. His research aims to streamline industrial bioprocessing while enhancing product quality.
Dr Chris Honig
Senior Lecturer
University Of Melbourne
From Training to Control: Generative AI in Operator Training Simulators and as a New Paradigm for Process Control
2:00 PM - 2:15 PM
Christopher Honig is a senior lecturer in the department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Melbourne. He has an interest in the application of GenAI and GPTs in tertiary education
Afshin Tatar
PhD Student
University Of Adelaide
CNN-Based Regression for Predicting Multiple Flammability Temperatures from Simple 2D Molecular Structure Images
2:15 PM - 2:30 PM
Afshin Tatar is a PhD candidate at the University of Adelaide, specialising in machine learning applications for chemical engineering. His doctoral research focuses on Machine Learning-Assisted Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), addressing both the capture and storage phases. He develops deep learning models to classify geological formations and predict brine behavior for CO₂ storage, and applies data-driven methods to optimise chemical absorbents for CO₂ capture. Afshin is passionate about bridging artificial intelligence and chemical engineering, aiming to create efficient, intelligent solutions for sustainable technologies and climate change mitigation.
Juveena Piyus
Research Scholar
Rmit University
A Simplified Experimental Design to Illustrate an Interesting Application of Electric Field for Enhanced Under-Graduate Learning
2:30 PM - 2:45 PM
Mrs. Juveena Piyus is pursuing PhD degree in Chemical Engineering from RMIT University under the supervision of Dr. Jue Hou and Assoc. Prof. Huacheng Zhang. Currently, her research interest includes investigating the orientated assembly of MOF nanocrystals and the fabrication of better colourimetric sensors specifically used in intelligent packaging for food freshness, environment monitoring, and pollution detections by employing photonic crystals constructed using metal-organic frameworks.
