35 Under 35 Award Endowment
Since its launch in 2017, the AIChE 35 Under 35 Award has celebrated 35 exceptional early-career AIChE members every three years—rising stars under the age of 35 who are shaping the future of chemical engineering and the AIChE community.
Honorees are recognized across seven categories:
- Bioengineering
- Chemical & Materials
- Education & Outreach
- Energy & Environmental
- Innovation & Entrepreneurship
- Leadership
- Safety
The program shines a light on early-career professionals in all sectors—academia, industry, and beyond—who are making transformative contributions to the profession. From launching innovative startups and leading educational reform to engineering sustainable energy solutions, these individuals reflect the creativity, diversity, and dedication that will lead chemical engineering forward.
I am passionate about the AIChE 35 Under 35 Award program as it recognizes the future leaders of the organization."
