Assistant Professor Qi Zhang awarded the Junior Sargent Medal by the Institution of Chemical Engineers

Assistant Professor Qi Zhang has been awarded the Junior Sargent Medal by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE). The Junior Sargent Medal recognizes a major contribution by an early career individual to research in the area of computer-aided product and process engineering. The medal is named after Roger Sargent, former president of IChemE and Courtaulds professor of chemical engineering at Imperial College, the founding father and intellectual leader of process systems engineering (PSE). The award is given to a promising early career academic or industrial individual who has already made a significant recent contribution to the research of computer-aided product and process engineering. The contribution could encompass, but need not be limited to, a concept that has promoted much interest, the solution of an unsolved problem, new methods/tools leading to innovative processes/products, or a significant advance of the state of the art within the area of process systems engineering.

Congratulations Qi!
