报告简介：

    Emilio E. Bunel 博士为美国能源部阿贡国家实验室化学科学与工程部主任，本报告主要介绍该实验室在能源领域的研究情况，并研讨与上海交通大学开展合作研究的机会。

Energy (production, storage and utilization) constitutes one of the most important and challenging issues in the United States and no single solution will be able to provide the required answer to this gigantic problem we face. In helping DOE to advance technologies the Chemical Sciences and Engineering Division at Argonne National Laboratory is conducting cutting edge research in the following fields:

 Reverse engineering photosynthesis for bio-inspired solar energy conversion
 Vertically integrated experimental and theoretical combustion chemistry
 Atomic and molecular-scale control of catalytic reactions for energy technologies
 Fundamental mechanisms for photons to fuels conversion
 Atomic and molecular-scale chemistry of heavy elements and fission products
 New Tailored Interfaces for Electrical Energy Storage

In this presentation we will describe some of the highlights of the work currently underway targeted to provide the scientific basis for the discovery and implementation of new technologies to yield translational solutions in support of DOE\'s mission.

报告人简介：

Dr.EmilioBunel received his M.S. in Chemical Engineering in 1980 from the University of Chile and his Ph.D. in chemistry from the California Institute of Technology in 1988. He began his professional career at DuPont Central Research as a member of the Catalysis Group working on new catalytic processes to produce nylon intermediates. In 2001 Bunel was hired by Eli Lilly to establish the Catalysis Group within the Discovery Research Organization. In 2003 he was appointed Associate Director at Amgen, Inc., and subsequently in January 2008, Research Fellow at Pfizer, Inc.After spending twenty years in industry, in October 2008 Emilio Bunel was named director of the Chemical Sciences and Engineering Division at U.S. Department of Energy\'s Argonne National Laboratory, where he is responsible for directing a science-based research, development, and early-stage engineering organization that conducts both fundamental and applied research in chemistry and chemical engineering.
