Congratulations to Shivam Parashar for completion of the PhD program and successful defense. Shivam has already published 4 full-scale first-author papers with another paper in revisions, and 2 manuscripts in preparations. He has presented his research at different major conferences, including oral presentations at 4 consecutive Annual AIChE meetings in 2020 - 2023, Fundamental of Adsorption conference in 2022, and CPM-9 International Workshop in 2024. His research was funded by an NSF grant, including internship at ExxonMobil. Shivam is exceptionally well-prepared for pursuing his further carrier as an expert in computational chemical engineering and starts his first job on June 17, 2024. We will cheer for Shivam and wish him all the best at our group retreat with our alumni and collaborators after his defense.

Full success of the 9th International Workshop "Characterization of Porous Materials", CPM-9, in Delray Beach, FL, organized by our CBE department and Rutgers Continuing Education Services with Alex Neimark as the Chair and Nick Corrente as the Conference Secretary. Alex has established the CPM series of meetings in 1998 and served as the chair for already 9 CPM editions held on a tri-annual basis. Designed to serve a bridge between academic and industrial scientists, CMP meetings have gained an international reputation for their high-quality interdisciplinary program, interactive style of presentations, and vivid discussions. CPM-9 attracted 144 participants from 18 countries. CPM-9 was supported by an NSF travel grant and our local industrial sponsor Anton Paar QuantaTec. For more info see https://cpm9.rutgers.edu/.
