Wet pressing and product quality: Review of previous pilot machine trials, TAPPI Journal July 2020
ABSTRACT: The purpose of wet pressing is to remove water by mechanical means to consolidate the web and minimize the energy expended in the dryer section. In this process, paper is compacted and densified to degrees that impact end-use performance. Average density is increased by pressing, which has implications for grades where stiffness is important. The z-direction density gradients can affect printing and converting. Lastly, pressing affects surface quality of paper and its response to printing. Broadly speaking, the final press nip dominates the paper surface roughness and the early press nips affect printing performance.

Guest Editorial: Research and development in the post COVID-19 era, TAPPI Journal June 2021
Science and technology occupy prominent roles in solving global problems. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has reinforced the importance of science regarding decision-making, saving lives, and safeguarding the environment. While information technology (IT) and IT-based tools have garnered much needed attention in the past few decades, other areas such as manufacturing engineering, biotechnology, and pharmaceuticals are finding their right places in gaining public and political support and attention--thanks to COVID-19! Such public attention has highlighted vulnerabilities due to lack of investments in manufacturing and materials engineering, as well as the need for strategic investments in these areas.

Editorial: Progress continues in recovery cycle optimization, TAPPI Journal March 2023
ABSTRACT: Travel came to a halt just before the 2020 International Chemical Recovery Conference (ICRC) was to take place in Brazil. The ICRC was to be co-hosted in 2021 with TAPPI PEERS, but PEERS was eventually cancelled for that year as travel for many had not resumed. In early 2022, The University of Toronto hosted an online meeting in order to bring together the community of researchers and industrial engineers for an ICRC event. At this event, 19 research papers were presented.
