  • CE - Young Scientist Roundtable - Dust – Nuisance? Think Again!

    "Science is Fun, and Science is for Everyone." Learn about exciting ideas and developments presented by professors and prominent experts. Since 1992, Young Scientist Roundtable has brought over 250 scientists to thousands of Minnesota students on topics from the hydrogen atom to human joint replacement to food coloring. This program is free, and is open to students, parents and community members. Registration is required. Willie Hendrickson CEO AVEKA Group All aspects of our society are affected by climate change, scarce resources, pandemics, and the need for new solutions to these challenges. While some of the answers to these and other issues will come from new ways of thinking and acting interpersonally, many of the answers will be found in new scientific discoveries and applications. The basis for many of the answers to these questions will be in new materials and new forms of old materials. Today we will focus on the building blocks of solids and the interesting ways that they can be manipulated. I will be talking about dust and why it is not a nuisance, but the very answer to many of our current needs. Solids (dust) processing and handling is a common theme in food processing, drug delivery systems, novel battery construction, plastics and polymers, imaging systems and, perhaps, every aspect of our daily life that involves contact with the world around us. The formation of solid products from toys to cars to the foods we eat and the movies we watch are accomplished with the use of small particles (dust) in almost every case. We will start out this talk with definitions of solids and solids handling providing examples and answers to everyday materials and products. We will be talking about solids or particles in sandcastles, cookie dough, cans of mixed nuts, shoe polish, Kindle e-Books, the production of iron metal from iron oxide, batteries for electric storage and COVID 19 vaccinations. With each example the materials (particles/dust) will be described and some of the solids handling science will be discussed. In each case the audience will be asked to help explain the observations with scientific explanations. By the end of the presentation the audience will see that particles, dust, is not a nuisance and can be a critical part of our everyday life with the opportunity to help solve many of today’s challenges. Willie Hendrickson is the founder and CEO of the AVEKA Group. AVEKA was founded in 1994 as a spin off from 3M with 3 people and one site. Currently, the AVEKA Group comprises 5 manufacturing sites and 200 people for industrial, chemical, food and pharmaceutical contract manufacturing and process development of particulate materials. Prior to starting AVEKA, Willie worked at 3M as the Technical Manager for Particle Processing in 3M’s Corporate Research Facility. Willie received his Ph.D. from the University of Florida in organometallic synthesis. He is currently the President of the International Fine Particle Research Institute and has been an Adjunct Professor at the University of Minnesota’s Department of Food Science and the Department of Chemical Engineering. He has authored or coauthored over 20 technical papers or book chapters and is the current holder of over 50 issued or applied for US patents.
