President's message
   

Dear Process Industries Division member,

We are very interested in keeping you informed of our activities! This year we have received a record number of abstracts for the annual conference in Nashville, and we hope to see you there! As usual we will host a Town Hall Meeting for PID as well as sessions designed to keep you informed about the latest developments and innovations in the Process Industries. The Board of the Process Industries Division seeks new members!

Please consider joining or nominating a colleague! The incoming president, Vincent Howell, is looking forward to working with you in the coming year. I would like to thank the members who contributed to our success this year and who helped with webinars, conference activities and the Board. Also, a special thanks to Mike Testani, who chaired our new Membership Committee and to Anna Olender who was our excellent Board Secretary.

Sincerely,
Martin Stein, D.Sc.  
Process Industries President, 2014-2015

Please plan to join us at the 2015 IIE Annual conference, held in Nashville, Tennessee. We have a full slate of presentations in the Applied Solutions track, as well the IERC. We look forward to seeing everyone at the Town Hall Meeting, too.

Update

On Jan.15, Aaron J. Owens, Ph.D, of DuPont Company, presented the webinar "Predictive Analytics for Big Data." In the fall, plans are to present a webinar titled, "Developing and Using Flexible Simulation Models." We are looking for at least one more this year. As you likely know, the division tries to put on several webinars each year. We are looking for a limited number of presenters for the Process Industries Division 2015 Webinar Series! Webinars are great vehicles for establishing yourself as an expert in our field. IIE-PID webinars have an audience of engineers from major companies throughout the world and averages sixty, with some webinars attracting more than one hundred participants. To apply to present a webinar, send an abstract and contact information to Bennett Foster, IIE-PID webinar chair.
