Labbe to host Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØEngineering Alumni Webinar on April 15
Labbe
Assistant Professor Nicole Labbe from the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering will discuss her work around During the presentation, Labbe will highlight recent experimental advances in detection of molecular combustion products, and how she implements those advances in tandem with computational chemistry efforts to inform design of the next generation of transportation fuels.
Labbe’s research broadly focuses on several areas of gas phase chemical kinetics, especially in the areas of theoretical chemistry and reaction rate theory, combustion kinetic modeling and combustion dynamics, pollution control and renewable liquid fuel design. She recently received an NSF CAREER Award to explore the kinetic behavior of post-flameout ignition events in high-altitude airplanes.
The college began hosting these webinars in early 2020 with the goal of providing online learning across various topics. They feature faculty experts whose research is shaping the future of the world we live in, along with accomplished alumni who are leaders in their respective industries. In addition to the live webinars, recordings of past sessions are available to access anytime.
Contact the alumni engagement team at engalumni@colorado.edu if you have ideas for future webinars or if you are interested in presenting.
