FLUID MIXING 8 Fluid Mixing VIII

STUDENT SUPPORT AND PRIZES

The Organising Committee of Fluid Mixing VIII and the Executive Committee of the Fluid Mixing Processes Subject Group of the IChemE are pleased to announce that in the competition held in Loughborough University on 26 January 2006 the following prizes were awarded:

Young Academics' Network in Chemical Engineering (YANCE) Prize:

A prize of £500 offered to a current research student/research assistant/research associate in a UK HEI who shows promise for development into a chemical engineering academic and whose work has been accepted for presentation at Fluid Mixing VIII to cover conference fees and attendance costs. Prize awarded to:

Fatemeh Jahanzad;
Department of Chemical Engineering, Loughborough University. for presentation of a paper entitled: "Mixing effect on the kinetics of emulsifier-free emulsion polymerisation reactions"

IChemE Fluid Mixing Processes Subject Group Prizes:
