Meet the Parts Cleaning Conference Co-Chairs
We are pleased to welcome back Dr. Darren Williams and Lori Beckman
Dr. Williams, a professor at Sam Houston State University, has been involved with the Parts Cleaning Conference for many years, and is a long-standing member of the cleaning industry. Beckman is parts cleaning editor of Production Machining and Products Finishing magazines. Working together, Dr. Williams and Beckman have curated a quality program with a top-notch speaker lineup.
Dr. Williams teaches Physical Chemistry I and II, General Chemistry I and II, and graduate courses in spectroscopy and thermodynamics at Sam Houston State. He has authored over two dozen research articles and a book chapter on parts cleaning.
A recent grant from the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program, a joint program of the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Defense, helped Dr. Williams identify, create and test azeotropic blends for the replacement of trichloroethylene and n-propyl bromide solvents in military vapor degreasing operations.
Lori Beckman has been reporting on, writing and editing content in Production Machining since 2003. As Senior Editor, she attends IMTS and PMTS regularly, and visits machine shops and OEMs to find the most valuable content for PM readers. She passionately spearheads the annual Emerging Leaders awards program to recognize and celebrate young talent in our industry.
Beckman is also the parts cleaning editor for this section in Production Machining and Products Finishing magazines, covering the manufacturing parts cleaning segment of the industry. She has attended the parts2clean trade show in Germany, is a member of the board of directors for the Manufacturing Cleaning Association and is co-chairperson of the Parts Cleaning Conference held yearly.
