is completed, as a start. Other details for each award are presented below.
GEORGE KLINZING BEST PHD IN PARTICLE TECHNOLOGY
This award recognizes an outstanding dissertation by an individual who has earned a doctoral degree. The dissertation can be in any discipline in the physical, biomedical or engineering sciences, but must be in particle science and engineering. Selection criteria include: (i) an outstanding original dissertation, with relevance to particle technology, and (ii) the candidate must have received a doctoral degree within the last three calendar years prior to the year the award is given.
Nominations should include:
(1) A letter of nomination. The letter of nomination should include a critical review stating the value of the dissertation in terms of its originality, significance, and potential applications in the field of particle science and technology. The supporting letters may focus on any of these attributes.
(2) An extended abstract of up to six pages including a list of refereed publications resulting directly from that dissertation,
(3) No more than three supporting letters, all of which must be from institutions outside the one granting the dissertation, and
(4) At least one letter from industry.
PARTICLE TECHNOLOGY FORUM AWARD
This award recognizes a forum member's lifetime outstanding scientific/technical contributions to the field of particle technology, as well as leadership in promoting scholarship, research, development, or education in this field. Selection criteria include
(1) An outstanding contributor to the field of particle technology,
(2) The awardee is invited to deliver a paper at the AIChE Annual Meeting
(3) The awardee is also required to submit a written manuscript, and
(4) A member of the Particle Technology Forum.
Nominations can be made by any member of the Particle Technology Forum and should include:
(1) A letter of nomination stating how the nominee contributed to the field of particle technology in terms of scholarship, research, development and education, and
(2) At least three supporting letters.
PSRI LECTURESHIP IN FLUIDIZATION
This award recognizes an individual's outstanding scientific/technical research contributions with impact in the field of fluidization and fluid-particle flow systems. Selection criteria include:
(1) An outstanding contribution advancing fluidization or fluid-particle flow systems,
(2) The awardee is invited to deliver a paper at the AIChE Annual Meeting,
(3) The awardee is also required to submit a written manuscript, and
(4) Membership in the Particle Technology Forum or AIChE is not required.
Nominations can be made by any member of the Particle Technology Forum and should include:
(1) A letter of nomination stating how the nominee contributed to the field of fluidization and fluid-particle flow systems, and
(2) At least three supporting letters with at least one letter from industry.
THOMAS BARON AWARD
This award recognizes an individual's recent outstanding scientific/technical accomplishment which has made a significant impact in the field of fluid particle systems or in a related field with potential for cross fertilization. Selection criteria include:
(1) An outstanding contribution advancing fluid-particle systems, or a related field,
(2) The awardee is invited to deliver a Plenary Lecture at an AIChE Annual Meeting session, and
(3) The awardee is also required to submit a written manuscript.
Nominations can be made by any member of the Particle Technology Forum and should include:
