Presentation
The award will be presented at the AIChE Annual Student Conference.
Nomination Instructions
Nomination Criteria & Requirements
Each chapter in a pair must be active AIChE student chapters.
Only one nomination will be accepted from each student chapter pair.
Pairs need to be sister chapters for at least one academic year before nomination in order to ensure they have had a full calendar year of interaction.
Not an Outstanding Sister Chapter within the last three years.
Summary of activities done during the last year.
Both student chapters must have submitted the Annual Report and the Annual Sister Chapter progress report, with this last report being the nomination form.
Sister Chapter pairs formed after April are exempt from submitting a Sister Chapter progress report the following September, but are required to submit Sister Chapter progress reports annually starting the next September. For example, Sister Chapters formed in May 2022 are not required to submit a Sister Chapter progress report in September 2022, but must submit one in September 2023 and every year following. Nonetheless, if there is a change of the sister chapter lead, it must be informed to the Sister Chapter Subcommittee.
The progress report must include the activities done between August 2021 and July 2022
If you have not had contact with your sister chapter during the last year, please fill the form on your own.

The main stream of my research is solid waste valorization for the production of power, heat, fuel, and chemicals. I work on thermochemical conversion technologies (pyrolysis, gasification, liquefaction, combustion, co-firing), and further upgrading. The final products of interest include fossil compatible fuel (bio-gasoline, bio-diesel), fuel additives (ethanol, methanol, dimethyl ether, oxymethylene ethers), gaseous products (hydrogen, methane) and bio-chemicals (e.g. levoglucosan); to realize low carbon, low cost, and low GHG emission bio-fuel production. The research approaches include...Read more
