Title: Molecular systems engineering for process and product design

Claire Adjiman is Professor of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London. She holds an MEng from Imperial College and a PhD from Princeton University, both in Chemical Engineering. Her research is focused on multiscale process and molecular/materials design, including the development of design methods, property prediction techniques and optimisation algorithms. She works extensively with industry, especially the oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals sectors and has licensed thermodynamic modelling software.

She is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (2015), an International Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2022) and of the US National Academy of Engineering (2023). She is also a Fellow of the Institution of Chemical Engineers and the Royal Society of Chemistry. She has received awards that include a RAEng-ICI Fellowship (1998-2003), the Philip Leverhulme Prize for Engineering (2009), the SCI Armstrong Lecture (2011), an EPSRC Leadership Fellowship (2012-2017), the RSC Elizabeth Colboum Memorial Lecture (2020), and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers' Computing in Chemical Engineering Award (2021). She is Editor-in-Chief of Molecular Systems Design and Engineering and she is a member of the editorial boards of Computers and Chemical Engineering and Fluid Phase Equilibria. At Imperial, she was a Founding Co-Director of the Institute for Molecular Science and Engineering (2015-2020) and she is Director of the Sargent Centre for Process Systems Engineering. She is a Trustee of Future Innovation in Process Systems Engineering (FIPSE). She is/has been a member of several advisory bodies, in the UK (EPSRC Strategic Advisory Network) and Singapore (CARES-C4T), and chairs the Scientific Advisory Board of the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems Magdeburg (Germany).
