[December 23, 2022] Dr. Ran Xu was selected as the recipient of the 2023 Young Leader Award. The award will be presented at the AIChE Annual Meeting to be held in November 2023, in Orlando, Florida, USA.
Dr. Ran Xu is a focused driver of performance excellence and leader of an internal SWAT team of engineers who are called upon to solve some of DuPont’s most challenging problems. These problems pop up suddenly and require immediate attention; furthermore, they come from a wide array of specialties within DuPont’s businesses. Dr Xu’s team at Kingston, Ontario, Canada has demonstrated a track record of success in each of these business areas, earning a reputation for a “can do” mentality and successful business outcomes. Further, this corporately leveraged model is regularly benchmarked versus external options and continues to be supported by the company, confirming Kingston’s high caliber of operations and Ran’s robust leadership of this high performing group. The organization’s success requires PhD leaders to have expertise and knowledge in four key areas: science and innovation, teamwork and collaboration, project management and business processes. Dr. Xu is a rare example of a PhD Engineer who has demonstrated excellence in all four areas and the passion and drive to excel further in each.
