Bench To Pilot Plant
A Local Success Goes National!
Mehdi Nafissi and I organized the first "Bench To Pilot Plant"
Symposium in 1997.  It was a huge success and it has now become
a regular feature of the Chemistry Program in North Jersey.

Mehdi and I went on to organize a similar session at a National ACS
meeting and I organized another National "Bench To Pilot Plant" at
the National Meeting in San Diego (2005).
With Mehdi Nafissi (Co-founder of "Bench"), the
Section Chair (Anita Brandolini) and the
speakers at the first Bench to Pilot Plant (1997)
