PEESE Journal Covers

AIChE Journal, the official journal of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, published a Perspective article from PEESE, in collaboration with NASA and ExxonMobil through a public-private-academic partnership, titled “Perspectives of Quantum Computing for Chemical Engineering” (AIChE Journal, 68, e17651). The article is also featured on the cover of June 2022 issue of AIChE Journal. See the top row of the cover art above. A lay summary of this Perspective article was published by Chemical Engineering Progress (CEP).

In February 2022, Ning’s paper titled “Toward Carbon-Neutral Electric Power Systems in the New York State: a Novel Multi-Scale Bottom-Up Optimization Framework Coupled with Machine Learning for Capacity Planning at Hourly Resolution” (ACS Sustainable Chem.
