The award recognizes Boukouvala's development of novel computational tools for design and optimization of multi-scale, complex systems using both data-driven concepts and traditional chemical engineering fundamentals.

Fani Boukouvala, an assistant professor in the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, is the first recipient of the Institution of Chemical Engineers' Junior Sargent Medal, which honors an early-career individual who has made a significant recent contribution to research into computer-aided product and process engineering.

The award recognizes Boukouvala's development of novel computational tools for design and optimization of multi-scale, complex systems using both data-driven concepts and traditional chemical engineering fundamentals.

Founded in 1922, the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) is a multi-national institution with primary offices in the UK and Australia. We exist to advance chemical engineering’s contribution for the benefit of society. IChemE members can be found in a wide range of industry sectors, and at different stages of their careers. They play a key role in our governance and day-to-day operations. IChemE is led by members, supports members and serves society.
