项目摘要

The Division of Chemistry supports Takiya Ahmed of the University of Washington as an American Competitiveness in Chemistry Fellow. Dr. Ahmed will study the catalytic conversion of low-value polyols to higher-value chemical products. Dr. Ahmed will conduct her research at the University of Washington's Center for Enabling New Technologies through Catalysis (Prof. Karen Goldberg, Director) and The Dow Chemical Company (Midland, MI). In her plan for broadening participation, Dr. Ahmed will develop a virtual mentoring network for underrepresented minority scientists using the AccessGrid. Dr. Ahmed will concentrate on developing this primarily in the Pacific Northwest, where the numbers of underrepresented minority scientists tend to be small and geographically dispersed.Dr. Ahmed's research is of potential practical importance, in that it may lead to a process enabling the conversion of a low-value byproduct from biodiesel manufacture (glycerol) to be efficiently converted into a more valuable chemical (e.g. 1,3-propanediol). The ultimate aim of research like this is to make liquid biofuel processing more economically competitive. The efforts at broadening participation being pursued by Dr. Ahmed are aimed at increasing the participation of young people from underrepresented groups in the sciences.

化学系支持华盛顿大学的塔基亚·艾哈迈德（Takiya Ahmed）作为美国化学研究员的竞争力。艾哈迈德（Ahmed）博士将研究低价值多元醇和高价值化学产品的催化转化。艾哈迈德（Ahmed）博士将在华盛顿大学（University of Washington）的研究中心通过催化（Karen Goldberg教授，主任）和Dow Chemical Company（密歇根州米德兰（Midland））进行研究。在扩大参与计划的计划中，艾哈迈德博士将使用AccessGrid为代表性不足的少数族裔科学家开发虚拟指导网络。艾哈迈德（Ahmed）博士将集中精力在西北太平洋地区开发这种情况，在那里，代表性不足的少数族裔科学家的数量往往很小，并且在地理上分散。艾哈迈德（Ahmed）的研究具有潜在的实际重要性，因为它可能导致一个过程，从而使低价值副产品从生物柴油制造（Glycerol）有效地转化为更有价值的化学物质（例如1,3-丙二醇）。这样的研究的最终目的是使液体生物燃料加工在经济上更具竞争力。扩大艾哈迈德博士进行的扩大参与的努力是为了增加来自代表性不足小组的年轻人参与科学的参与。
