Hello, I'm Dr. Bryan Haynes, Senior Technical Director at Kimberly-Clark, USA, and I’m honored to chair Session 2: Filtration Advances for Emerging Technologies at the World Filtration Institute 2024 Annual Conference on December 3.
Join us to explore the latest innovations in filtration! We’ll kick off with Dr. Seshadri Ramkumar from Texas Tech University, presenting novel filters for personal protection. Dr. Ingo Mählmann from Germany will follow with insights into economical hydrocharging for single-ply meltblown media. Dr. Pierre-Yves Pontalier from France will dive into advances in unicellular protein purification, and Dr. Behnam Pourdeyhimi from NC State University will wrap up with a look at sustainable, high-efficiency spunbond filter media. We'll close with an engaging panel discussion and live Q&A session.
I look forward to seeing you at WFI 2024!
