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

Abstract

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

Abstract

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.
