Thomas Adams - Learn Aspen Plus in 24 Hours, Second Edition

Thomas A. Adams IIis an associate professor and associate chair in the Department of Chemical Engineering at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. He received dual bachelors degrees from Michigan State University in 2003, one in chemical engineering and the other in computer science. He received his Ph.D. in 2008 from the University of Pennsylvania under the supervision of Prof. Warren D. Seider and completed a postdoctoral appointment under Prof. Paul Barton at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is also a licensed professional engineer, and is an associate editor with the Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineeringand with Frontiers in Energy Research.

Professor Adams research focuses on the design and simulation of sustainable energy conversion systems, including areas such as synthetic fuels, alternative fuels, biofuels, fuel cells, waste-to-energy, integrated community energy, polygeneration, and process intensification. The primary goal of his research is to create new chemical process systems and devices which will lead to worldwide global change in the way we make and use energy, following the principles of the triple-bottom-line of sustainability. He has over 20 years of experience using Aspen Plus, as well as other related software, for research and problem solving.

Professor Adams has received numerous awards for his research and service, including the Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineerings Lectureship Award, the Canadian Society for Chemical Engineerings Emerging Leader of Chemical Engineering Award, membership in Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Researchs 2018 Class of Influential Researchers, an Ontario Early Researcher Award, a Joseph Ip Distinguished Engineering Fellowship, the Presidents Award for Excellence in Graduate Supervision, and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers David Himmelblau Award for Innovations in Computer-Based Chemical Engineering Education, and he is now honored as a University Scholar at his home institution of McMaster University. He has published over 75 research articles in peer-reviewed journals which used Aspen Plus or related products as a key component in the research methodology. His research has been featured in the popular media such as Bloomberg TV, Wired, Scientific American,the Discovery Channel, and various radio programs in the United States and Canada. But he is much more proud of the accomplishments of his graduate students, who include a Vanier Scholar, an Ontario Trillium Scholar, and a Governor-Generals Medal recipient, and who are active researchers and engineers all over the world.
