| Abstract Scope |
The impact that Professor Diran Apelian has had on resource recovery and recycling technology development is immense especially considering his founding of the Center for Resource Recovery and Recycling (CR3). To truly honor such impact, it must also be known that the CR3 is much more than a research center that produces cutting edge research and technology through collaboration between academia and industry in the sustainability space; it is a talent incubator that molds high-quality, next generation leaders and engineers. Professor Diran Apelian founded this one-of-a-kind center that brings critical resource-centric problems to the forefront while maintaining and understanding personal relationships and people as priority. His technical guidance has led to so many pivotal engineering breakthroughs, but his mentorship is and will always serve as a foundation for personal and professional growth. The major influence that Professor Apelian has had on so many individuals is celebrated in this talk. |
