<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>.<Biography of Anthony E. Butterfield>[University of Utah, historical biography: master's and doctoral research]{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.
