Please submit all nominations and applications electronically to Reg Rogers at rerogers@missouri.edu        

• Please describe the candidate’s contributions to research, commercialization, and/or service in the fields of nanoscience or nanotechnology.
• Please clearly indicate how these contributions qualify as advances in the fields of nanoscience or nanotechnology.
• For applicants outside of a research setting, applicants may choose, in place of the selected bibliography, to summarize up to four significant achievements, such as new materials or processes developed, improvements to current products and methods, start-up companies or licenses granted based on inventions, or contributions to public policy, education, and regulation. Please provide accompanying patent information if any. Summaries should not exceed 5 pages.

Nomination Packet

The award is a plaque and $2,000.

Selection criteria include:

1. Active and participating membership* in the Materials Engineering and Sciences Division (MESD) of AIChE.
2. Age less than 40 years in the year the Award is given. In the event a candidate begins their independent career after age 30, they will be considered eligible for 10 years since the year of the candidate's first professional appointment as an independent investigator in the year the Award is given. Approved leave (maternity, paternity, elder care, health, etc.) does not count towards the time limit and accrued leave time will be added to the age of eligibility.
3. Outstanding materials-related work in discovery, research, process or product development, education, and/or service.

* “Active and participating” presupposes dues payment in MESD, as well as one or more of the following during the past several years: co-authorship of presentations or posters in conference sessions sponsored by MESD, and/or MESD service as session chair/co-chair, program area chair, or Division Director.

Nomination Form

$500 Award

Papers submitted to co-sponsored sessions by F&PD will also be considered.  Application areas will be reviewed on a yearly basis to adjust, as appropriate, to industry trends in the same general area of chemical engineering applications.  Current members of Professor Karim’s research team including undergraduate and graduate students, along with people in post-doctoral appointments, are not eligible for the award.

Prior to the annual Spring AIChE meeting, F&PD will form an ad-hoc review committee with members drawn from F&PD Executive committee members, F&PD Programming Area Chairs, F&PD members, and/or recognized Advanced Control Experts in the field.   Using an established rubric, papers will be judged according to how the work advances the science and/or practice of advanced controls for the Fuels and Petrochemicals industries while also considering presentation/paper qualities such as technical & logical validity, innovation impact, and writing/presentation clarity.  F&PD reserves the right not to grant the award in any given year.  If an award is not given in a year, then the funds will be rolled over and the timeline for the award will be extended beyond the initial 5-year period.
