Fellow candidates are nominated by their peers, and must have significant chemical engineering practice (generally 25 years), have demonstrated significant service to the profession, and have been a member of AIChE for at least 10 years. Here are some of the recently elected Fellows. More Fellows will be introduced in future issues of CEP.
Please see below to meet some of AIChE's recently elected fellows, who are also featured in the September print issue of CEP.
Richard D. Braatz
Richard Braatz is the Edwin R. Gilliland Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and president of the American Automatic Control Council. His research focuses on process data analytics and control theory and their applications to chemical, pharmaceutical, and materials systems. Prior to joining MIT, he served on the faculty of the Univ. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and as a visiting scholar at Harvard Univ. He earned his MS and PhD in chemical engineering at CalTech and has been a leader of AIChE’s Computing and Systems Technology (CAST) Div.
Scott M. Husson
Scott Husson is Dean's Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Clemson Univ. and president and founder of Purilogics, LLC. His research interests include membrane science and engineering, biologics recovery and purification, water purification, and nuclear forensics. In AIChE, he is a past chair of the Separations Div. and served as advisor for the Clemson Student Chapter. He is also a board member for the North American Membrane Society and an associate editor of the journal Separation Science and Technology. He earned a PhD in chemical engineering at the Univ. of California, Berkeley.
Mayuresh V. Kothare
Mayuresh Kothare is the McCann Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Lehigh Univ., where he holds appointments in bio, electrical and computer engineering. His research spans the problems of constrained and optimal predictive control theory, robustness analysis, control of microchemical systems, embedded control of biomedical systems, neuroengineering, and closed-loop neuroprosthetic systems. He is an associate editor of IEEE’s Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, and has chaired AIChE’s CAST Div. He earned his MS and PhD in chemical engineering at CalTech.
Suzette M. Schultz
Suzette Schultz is a senior project manager at AstraZeneca, where her work focuses on pharmaceutical process development and new process introduction. Her broad volunteer experience includes leadership in AIChE’s Delaware Valley Section and the former Wilmington Section. She also has extensive experience in community and educational outreach, for both college and pre-college students. She was selected as the Delaware Valley’s Engineer of the Year in 2015, and serves on the Professional Advisory Committee for Penn State Univ.’s Chemical Engineering Dept.
