Complicated problems call for big research agendas. That’s why @WPI is awarding planning grants to 3 teams working on proposals for research centers that could tackle bioengineering, new materials, and mental health. bit.ly/3QL4fzw
So proud and honored to celebrate Dr. Cameron Armstrong's successful defense of his PhD thesis! As my first PhD student, he built the lab, defined the culture of hard work, and made incredible scientific findings on #dynamiccatalysis, #electrochemistry, and #AugmentedReality.
Very proud of Dr. LeClerc for very impressively defending her thesis @WPI. I am very excited to join @TimkoEnergyLab to see my first graduating PhD student share her molecular insights into the black box hydrothermal liquidation process. Awesome work @Heatherlec620!! #PhDone
I'm so honored and excited to have been awarded tenure and promotion to associate professor of chemical engineering at WPI. I've had so many incredible mentors, students and colleagues over the years who have inspired and supported me---we did it!

Can anyone read this without thinking it screams awesome mass transfer project? @BarillaPasta hydration for reduced CO2 emissions? Lumped capacitance solution? #ChemE hackaday.com/2022/10/17/bar…
So excited to see standing room only @WPI for a chemical engineering seminar by @drswilson123 on understanding and taking action on mental health in engineering!
Wouldn't it be cool to switch from H2 to NH3 as a carbon-free liquid fuel? Check out our new paper where we integrate classical thermal catalysis with traditional H2-SOFC to take the first steps in demonstrating its autothermal operation. J Power Sources: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
It turns out Maillard reactions are not only for cooking. Congratulations @Heatherlec620 and team for our two new papers infusing molecular understanding into the very messy topic of HTL. Green Chem: doi.org/10.1039/D2GC01… iScience: doi.org/10.1016/j.isci…
It's important to celebrate strong, powerful, professional women who we respect on International Women in Engineering Day. I am so proud of my wife, who somehow raises 2+ kids while excelling full time as a Project Manager designing water treatment plants! linkedin.com/posts/tighe-%2…
Ever wonder if there are heat transfer limitations when you do a batch zeolite crystallization in an autoclave? Spoiler alert: there are. Check out our recent paper: link.springer.com/article/10.100…
I'm excited to kick off of our new projects on dynamic catalysis and distributed water, chemicals and pharmaceuticals! #nsfcareer #nsfefri #RAPID.

I had a blast with our virtual recipe exchange/group holiday party! I never knew we had so many young chef's in the group. #happyholidays #engineersinthekitchen
Congratulations Paul for this well-deserved honor! Just as Lanny set you on this path, you've already done so for so many of us. Keep pushing the boundaries!! #greatadvisors
I'm so excited to welcome three outstanding new PhD students to the Teixeira Lab! Welcome Fatou, David and Esai! New projects on water treatment, catalysis and waste to energy! #virtualgroupmeeting #togethermode
It's been great working with you Emily! Keep up the great work translating from batch to flow in the pharmaceutical industry. manufacturingusa.com/studies/rapid-…
So excited for @Teixeira_Lab PhD student Heather LeClerc for being awarded an NSF GRFP!!! Well-deserved for an outstanding researcher, leader and advocate. We're excited to have you here @WPI---keep up the great work @Heatherlec620! #NSFGRFP #proudadvisor
We are proud to announce the inaugural winners of the Heh-Won Chang PhD Fellowship in Green Chemistry from @UWI_StAugustine and @WPI! Learn more about the newly-formed award and the individuals who have been named recipients for 2020! @Heatherlec620 communities.acs.org/community/scie…
Congratulations to @Teixeira_Lab PhD student Heather LeClerc for being named one of only two @ACSGCI Chang Research Fellowship Winners for her work in #sustainable waste-to-energy! communities.acs.org/community/scie…
