Prof. Stratos Pistikopoulos was presented with the 2012 Computing in Chemical Engineering award at the 2012 AIChE annual meeting

At this year’s American Institute of Chemical Engineers’ (AIChE) annual meeting, held in Pittsburgh at the end of October, Professor Stratos Pistikopoulos was presented with the 2012 Computing in Chemical Engineering Award, which recognises outstanding contributions in the application of computing and systems technology to chemical engineering.

Stratos is recognised by the AIChE as a world leading authority in process systems with industrially-applied innovative and breakthrough technologies (such as the patented MPC_on_a_chip). He becomes the first British-based academic to be awarded the prize since Roger Sargent in 1990.

“This has been a pivotal milestone in my academic career,” says Stratos. “It is also a major accolade to CPSE, the Department and Imperial”.
