Hecht<\/b> is the director for the Center for BioEnergetics in the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University. He researches diseases caused by defects in the body's energy production processes. Energy production is similar mechanistically to other molecular processes that he has studied extensively. He played a key role in the development of Hycamtin, a drug used to treat ovarian and lung cancer, as well as the study of the mechanism of the anti-tumor agent bleomycin.<br><br>\n\nIn a career spanning more than three decades, Professor Hecht has held both academic and industrial research positions. He joins ASU from the University of Virginia, where he was a professor of both chemistry and biology. From 1981 to 1987, he concurrently held leadership positions in research and development for Smith Kline and French Laboratories. Prior to his 28 years at the University of Virginia, he was a faculty member at MIT. Hecht is the co-founder of Edison Pharmaceuticals, a pharmaceutical company focusing on inherited mitochondrial disorders. He earned a B.A. in chemistry from the University of Rochester and a Ph.D. in chemistry with emphasis in biochemistry from the University of

Lin<\/B> is a Regents' Professor of Chemical Engineering at the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport, and Energy at Arizona State University (ASU) in Tempe. He serves as co-Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Membrane Science and was a Co-Founding Editor-in-Chief of JMS Letters. Before joining ASU in 2005, Lin was a Professor of Chemical Engineering and co-director of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Center for Membrane Applied Science and Technology at the University of Cincinnati. He also served as the department chair of chemical engineering at ASU from 2006 to 2009. Lin leads the Membrane and Energy Laboratory, with expertise in inorganic membrane science, adsorption, separation technologies, catalysis, fuel cells and energy storage, and carbon dioxide capture.\n<br>\nLin earned his bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Zhejiang University in China in 1982, followed by his master's degree (1985) and doctorate (1988) from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, MA. From 1988 to 1991, he was a postdoctoral staff member at the University of Twente in the Netherlands. Lin began his academic career as an assistant professor at the University of Cincinnati in 1991, becoming a full professor in 1998. In 2011, he was honored with the Regents' Professorship at ASU. As of August 2024, Lin has published over 330 peer-reviewed journal articles and over 60 book chapters and conference proceedings papers, and holds 10 issued and 6 pending patents.  He has delivered more than 200 invited lectures worldwide. He has also mentored over 100 postdoctoral researchers and graduate students, including more than 40 PhD graduates.\n<br>\nProfessor Lin has received numerous accolades, including the NSF Career Award (1995), the Cheung Kong Scholar Award (2001), the AIChE Institute Award for Excellence in Industrial Gases Technology (2009), and the AIChE Clarence (Larry) G. Gerhold Award (2021). He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) (since 2009), the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) (since 2013), and the North American Membrane Society (NAMS) (since 2020). His service to the scientific community includes acting as a referee for approximately 50 journals and 20 funding agencies, co-chairing major conferences such as the 1998 NAMS Annual Meeting, the 1994 MRS Symposium on Materials for Separation Technology, and the 2001 ACS Symposium on Advanced Membrane Materials. He was the conference chairman of the 2004 International Conference on Inorganic Membranes and chaired the 2010 Gordon Research Conference on Membrane Materials and Processes and the 2013 NAMS Annual Meeting.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"ekit-team-social-list\">\n\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-repeater-item-b37fad5\">\n\t\t\t<a

Hecht<\/b> is the director for the Center for BioEnergetics in the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University. He researches diseases caused by defects in the body's energy production processes. Energy production is similar mechanistically to other molecular processes that he has studied extensively. He played a key role in the development of Hycamtin, a drug used to treat ovarian and lung cancer, as well as the study of the mechanism of the anti-tumor agent bleomycin.<br><br>\n\nIn a career spanning more than three decades, Professor Hecht has held both academic and industrial research positions. He joins ASU from the University of Virginia, where he was a professor of both chemistry and biology. From 1981 to 1987, he concurrently held leadership positions in research and development for Smith Kline and French Laboratories. Prior to his 28 years at the University of Virginia, he was a faculty member at MIT. Hecht is the co-founder of Edison Pharmaceuticals, a pharmaceutical company focusing on inherited mitochondrial disorders. He earned a B.A. in chemistry from the University of Rochester and a Ph.D. in chemistry with emphasis in biochemistry from the University of Illinois.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"ekit-team-social-list\">\n\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-repeater-item-b37fad5\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=zWzbK_8AAAAJ&#038;hl=fr\" aria-label=\"item\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"jki jki-google\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-480444b elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-team\" data-id=\"480444b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-team.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"profile-card elementor-animation- text-center ekit-team-style-default\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"profile-header ekit-team-img ekit-img-overlay ekit-team-img-block\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"262\" height=\"262\" src=\"https:\/\/summivox.com\/encat-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/Haiping-Yang\u200b.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1481\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/summivox.com\/encat-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/Haiping-Yang\u200b.png 262w, https:\/\/summivox.com\/encat-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/Haiping-Yang\u200b-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 262px) 100vw, 262px\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .profile-header END -->\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"profile-body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"profile-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHaiping Yang\u200b\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"profile-designation\">Huazhong University  China\u200b<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .profile-body END -->\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speakers Sidney M.
