ICHEME has announced that it is recognising more than 30 chemical engineers with prizes and medals for their exceptional contributions to the profession within research and academia.
The Medals and Prizes Committee has released a list of the recipients, who will be presented with their awards during virtual webinars throughout the year.
John Grace, a Chartered Member of IChemE and Professor Emeritus at the University of British Colombia (UBC), Canada, will receive the Geldart Medal, for his significant contribution to research in particle technology. Grace is a pioneering researcher in fluidisation whose work on circulating fluidised beds has been critical to the development and scaleup of fluidised bed reactors for industrial applications, including gasification and clean energy production.

2021 Rising Stars: Adam Larkin
Senior Manager, Program Management, Celanese Engineered Materials
Adam Larkin graduated from Pennsylvania State University with a bachelor s degree in chemical engineering with polymer engineering option and from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University with a master s degree and doctoral degree in chemical engineering.
He first joined the plastics industry as a research engineer at Celanese of Florence, Ky., in the Technology and Innovation Leadership program. I was interested in plastics because my high school AP Chemistry teacher indicated it was a good field of study. He told me to go walk down the grocery store or construction store aisles and see how much of it is made of plastic. After I did that, my friend and I would spend hours in the aisles looking at plastics and recycling codes before we went away for undergraduate studies, said Larkin, now the senior manager, program management.
