PANEL

Exploring Methods of Delivering Surfactants into a Laminar Flow of Water

We are assembling a high-caliber panel of 15 experts in fluid flow and dynamics to discuss the innovations that will determine the future of surfactant delivery systems over a 4-day panel of online engagement.

This is a unique opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge, learn from your peers, and gain recognition for advancing innovation. You will also receive a $200 honorarium.

Project Objectives:
- Better understand the needs of the market.
- Explore and map the current landscape.
- Identify future directions.
- Determine a recommended path.

peopleExpert participation

Looking to engage experts in, but not limited to, the following:
- Fluid flow experts
- Fluid dynamic experts
- Process engineers
- Surfactant chemists
- Analytical chemists
- Water treatment experts
- Faucet/showerhead design manufacturing (Delta, Kohler, Moen)

Applicants
Deborah Dixon
Beehive Biotech Consulting, Owner
I have significant expertise with surfactants having worked with them during my 30+ years in product development and commercialization in Medical Devices and Diagnostics, Automotive Care Products, Health and Wellness Products and also Cosmetics and Personal Care Products. I hold a PhD in Microbiology and have extensive knowledge of water treatment and also analytical methods for water testing among other methods development (verification and validation). Water purification is of extreme importance in cell culture and I have extensive expertise and knowledge of these types of systems. In addition to my career experience I have served on four Convet.it advisory boards, one of which was a sprint session. I also served as Facilitator for that session.
Shan Guan
Principal Consultant/Senior Project Manager
14 years of modeling experience in the Fluid dynamic and flow for using of surfactant in the Oil and Gas industry.
David Krantz
Mechanical Engineer and Nuclear Janitor by Day... Vigilante Blogger by Night... How May I Help You?
Before I graduated as a mechanical engineer I was supervising a nuclear engine room on a nuclear vessel of the Navy. Since then I have been in the semiconductor industry, chemical demilitarization, and nuclear clean up efforts. Each of these has contributed to my knowledge of fluid flow and dynamics. In power cycles we use turbulent flow but the production of microchips and semiconductors uses a completely chemical process and different chemical delivery systems. Please allow me to contribute to a conversation which would find and explore improvements to surfactant delivery.
Bill Saunde

Past Sales of Nationally Branded Faucets & Currently Water Filtration systems & Filters; Sales experience to Industrial supply & Home Centers
Andy Moreno
Bacterial Surveillance Systems Engineer who employs qRT-PCR technologies and systems
As a chemist, my experience with the direct application of water-based sanitizing chemicals on fresh produce and cleaning surfaces in food production facilities would be helpful for this discussion group.

FAQ
  • add remove What is Currnt?
    Currnt is a “Knowledge Networking” platform where companies and professionals come to stay relevant on the latest advances in their industries in the face of the increasing pace of change. Companies sponsor panels to learn about where markets are headed or how to leverage new capabilities. Professionals join to demonstrate and develop their passions with equal caliber peers in expert-only facilitated online engagements. On Currnt, we take our passions seriously and ourselves lightly. See our Community Guidelines, to learn more of the rules of the road, here are some highlights

    • Be yourself. The authenticity of Currnt begins with the passion of people.
    • Be respectful. This applies to every person, at all times.
    • Be inclusive. Tolerate, welcome, and consider diverse people and perspectives.
    • Build empathy and understanding. Engage in debates that are in good faith.
    • Foster meaningful and genuine connections. This is what Currnt is all about.
    • Do not plagiarize or fail to cite other’s ideas.
    • Don’t game the points by trying to coordinate intentional recognition.
  • add remove How do Panels work?
    The panel is like a facilitated forum of hand selected experts on a topic sponsored by a company that wants to learn fast. Panels are organized in chapters called Themes that focus on one subtopic at a time. In some panels Themes are only 24 hours in duration, in others they are a week long, and in some they are two weeks long. When one Theme closes, a new one begins. You come in when you feel like it, but try to come in twice per Theme. You earn points from your peers and the facilitator when they react to your ideas. Likewise, others earn points when you interact on their posts. The more we discuss and debate, the better the insights, the more points earned by all.

  • add remove Why should I apply? Do I get paid?
    Professionals join Currnt because they want to remain relevant on subjects they’re passionate about and subjects that are shaping the future of their industry. They also:

    • Engage and connect with equal caliber peers in their industry
    • Learn and enhance their knowledge
    • Get recognized and rewarded for providing their inputs and thought-leadership
    • When specified above in the project description, you can earn honorarium payments and/or recognition points redeemable for cash. Learn more here.
  • add remove Are there specific times I need to participate?
    There are no set times for calls or meetings. Participation is 100% online on the Currnt platform and engagement between the all expert panelists is asynchronous in written form. Just come in twice per Theme, at your convenience.

  • add remove How do KnowledgeStreams and DesignSprints work?
    Streams are ongoing online engagements for exploration or working iteratively with a panel, and Sprints are on-demand engagement to get to actionable insights quickly. Both are facilitated and are always-on for participants to engage at-convenience. The conversations are segmented into Themes which are subtopics which are like chapters in a book. In a 4 Day Sprint, Themes are 24 hours, whereas a Theme in a Stream is every two week. Throughout the discussion, the facilitator highlights and categorizes the “key takeaways” to be voted and distilled into a summary report. It’s also common that other pieces of content (whitepapers, blogs, podcasts) are also prepared from the distilled insights.

  • add remove I’ve applied. Now what?
    Your application will be internally reviewed in the following 24-48hrs and screened for any conflict of interest, and general fit. Next your application will be shortlisted for the sponsor to accept, bookmark or reject. You will receive a notification each step of the way, but expect this may take a couple of days, or even weeks if the panel is new. Nevertheless, in addition to the notifications, you can always go back to the Apply page to view the status of your application.

  • add remove I’ve been selected. What am I expected to do when selected?
    Once you receive your Welcome Email, please RSVP by clicking the link in the notification. You can also gain access to the panel through your ‘My Currnt’ at the top of the page. Finally, once you have RSVP’d by logging into the panel, there is often a Welcome Tab where you can introduce yourself to the other panelists. If it’s a new panel, the first Theme will launch in a few days, if it’s an ongoing panel just jump right in by reacting to the question or to what the other panelists had to say.

  • add remove If I have other questions or issues, what should I do?
    Please contact support to answer any other questions or troubleshoot any issues via email or chat.
