Super-Gee's

At our house, we all admire the Super-Gee, as in Super-Genius.

Our society needs to pay more attention to the Super-Gee.  The Super-Gee’s make the world a better place with their wild and wonderful inventions and discoveries.

An example of a Super-Gee that is high on my list is Burt Rutan (2004 Entrepreneur of the Year, and winner of the x-prize for the first private space flight - isn’t that cool?).  Trouble is that too much of our spare time is consumed by being entertained – by sports, movies, TV, etc., etc.    

And entertainment warps our sense of what is cool and how real people should look. I mean, check out these two photos and any kid can tell you which one is the Super-Gee.

Well, we have our very own certified and recognized Super-Gee right here at PAS, and this is him...

This guy was certified as a Super-Gee by being awarded the AIChE’s Computing Practice Award at their 2005 annual meeting in Cincinnati today.

And the best part is that he works right here at PAS, cranking out the scientific marvels that end up in some of our best products – like the STAR multivariable controller, the Polymers NonLinear Controller, the NOVA process modeling and optimization system, and the newest GALAXY unified nonlinear control and optimization solution – all of which contain his mental marvels and all of which are out there running in customer plants, making their operations more efficient.

Yip, Super-Gee’s like our own Dr. Mike Morshedi are making the world a better place.

Isn’t that great?
