Tools for Chemical Product Design: From Consumer Products to Biomedicine describes the challenges involved in systematic product design across a variety of industries and provides a comprehensive overview of mathematical tools aimed at the design of chemical products, from molecular design to customer products.
Chemical product design has become increasingly important over the past decade and includes a wide range of sectors including gasoline additives and blends in the petroleum industry, active ingredients and excipients in the pharmaceutical industry, and a variety of consumer products and specialty chemicals. Traditionally, such products have been designed through trial and error methods, which not only are time-consuming, but more importantly only provide limited knowledge that can be translated into next generation products.

Mariano Martín Martín
Dr. Martín is full Professor of Chemical engineering at the University of Salamanca and member of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Spain. Mariano Martin graduated with honors in the integrated BSc and MSc in Chemical engineering at USAL in 2003. Prof. Martín completed his PhD on the analysis of multiphase reactors and received the Outstanding Thesis award in 2008 also at USAL. He joined Procter & Gamble as a postdoctoral Engineer at their technical center of Newcastle Upon Tyne where he led the last challenge in the laundry business for which he obtained the P&G award for its outstanding contribution to modelling and simulation. He was Fulbright Postdoc at Carnegie Mellon University for almost two years on the systematic design of renewable based processes before accepting the challenge of building a process systems laboratory in the oldest university in Spain. Dr. Martín’s research interests focus on the systematic optimal design of processes and products using renewable based resources towards a more sustainable power, chemical and process industry. Prof Martin has been visiting prof. at CMU (US), Univ. Texas A&M (US), Univ Leeds (UK), Univ Birmingham (UK), Plapiqui (Argentina), Udelar (Uruguay) or Univ Maribor (Slovenia) among others. El Prof. Martín has been included within the 1% Top researchers in chemical engineering in the ranking by Univ. Stanford, he has authored over 200 papers in peer reviewed journals (h=45 SCOPUS), 65 book chapters, 2 monographic books and 3 textbooks for Elsevier, Springer in CRC Press. Prof. Martín has graduated 11 PhD’s and over 60 Master students. He is senior member of the AIChE and executive editor of Chem. Eng. Sci, associate editor of J. Clean Production, LAAR and sits in the editorial board of Com. Chem Eng., Int. J Green Energy, PIOS among others.

Mario R. Eden
Dr. Mario Eden is the Department Chair and Joe T. & Billie Carole McMillan Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Auburn University. Dr. Eden is also the Director of an NSF-IGERT Program on Integrated Biorefining. His main areas of expertise include process design, integration and optimization, as well as molecular synthesis and product design. His group focuses on the development of systematic methodologies for process and product synthesis, design, integration, and optimization.
Dr. Eden’s research has generated 90 refereed papers/book chapters and resulted in over 275 presentations at national and international meetings, including invited keynote lectures at the 2006 Danish Chemical Engineering Conference, the 2006 and 2012 AIChE Annual Meetings, the 2009 Process Systems Engineering Conference, the 2010 Mississippi State University Biofuels Conference, the 2013 International Symposium on Sustainable Chemical Product and Process Engineering, the 2013 World Congress of Chemical Engineering, and the 24th European Symposium on Computer Aided Chemical Engineering. To support his research and educational activities, Dr. Eden has successfully secured over $6.6M in extramural funding as PI, and an additional $10.6M as co-PI from federal and corporate sponsors.
Dr. Eden is the recipient of the National Science Foundation CAREER award (2006), the Auburn Engineering Alumni Council Junior Faculty Research Award (2006), the William F. Walker Superior Teaching Award (2007), the Fred H. Pumphrey Teaching Award for Excellence (2009 and 2011), the SGA Award for Outstanding Faculty Member in the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering (2009 and 2011), the Outstanding Faculty Member in the Department of Chemical Engineering (2009, 2011, 2013, and 2014), the Auburn Engineering Alumni Council Senior Faculty Research Award (2012), and the William F. Walker Merit Teaching Award (2014). As one of the founding members of Auburn University’s Center for Bioenergy and Bioproducts, Dr. Eden and his collaborators received the AU President’s Outstanding Collaborative Units Award (2012). At the 2009 Foundations of Computer Aided Process Design (FOCAPD), he was honored with the Best Faculty Contribution Award. Dr. Eden was selected to participate in the 2010 National Academy of Engineering Frontiers of Engineering Education Symposium. Dr. Eden received his M.Sc. (1999) and Ph.D. (2003) degrees from the Technical University of Denmark, both in Chemical Engineering.
