The John L. Anderson Distinguished Lecture Series in Chemical Engineering brings celebrated and influential chemical engineering researchers to Carnegie Mellon's campus.

In its second year, the annual event featured alum and Chief Operations Officer of CSL Behring, Paul McKenzie ('92), who presented "How BioTech Engineering has Contributed, Learned and Evolved from the Pandemic." Elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2020, McKenzie has over 25 years of experience in manufacturing and R&D and has held various senior roles for companies like Johnson & Johnson, Bristol Myers Squibb and Merck.
