The Essential Role of Chemical Engineers in Export Controls

The Essential Role of Chemical Engineers in Export Control

Dr. William Rhodes, P.E.

Export Controls rely on Chemical Engineers in many aspects. These include the formulation of international export control lists with regimes such as the Australia Group, the incorporation of these lists into USG regulations, the proper adjudication of USG export control applications, the defense of positions for this adjudication, and ultimately, the refinement and update of international norms based on past history but also the essential need to maintain pace with accelerated, emergent technology.
