Congratulations, Pierre and Fariba!

CoMoChEng graduate students Pierre Bhoorasingh and Fariba Seyedzadeh Khanshan successfully defended their thesis proposals this fall. Pierre’s presentation, “Automated kinetic parameter calculation via transition state theory for bimolecular reactions to develop a 2,5:dimethylfuran combustion mechanism”, was held on November 14, 2013, and Fariba’s talk, “Using Reaction Mechanism Generator (RMG) to build detailed kinetic models of biofuels”, was on December 5, 2013.  Well done!
