Anthony E. Butterfield, also known as Tony Butterfield, is a chemical engineer whose work combines mathematical modeling, experimental measurement and education. His historical University of Utah biography describes a master's project on finite element simulation of cell cycle kinetics and doctoral work on model-based filtering and control of individual molecular motors.[ref]
These topics illustrate how chemical engineering can connect a small physical system with an inferred mathematical description: measurements are interpreted through a mathematical model, and a controller uses that description to influence the system. His outreach material also connects chemistry with measurements students can reason about; Carbon Captured Chalk by Tony Butterfield is one such educational contribution. The research and teaching examples concern the same general skill of relating a model to observable behaviour.
