Recent Innovative Contribution in CAPE Award for Prof. Tony Kiss

Prof. Tony Kiss has received the Recent Innovative Contribution in CAPE Award from the Computer Aided Process Engineering – Working Party ( CAPE-WP ) of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE). The prestigious CAPE award for a recent innovative contribution (RIC) is given in recognition of an outstanding innovative contribution to recent advances in CAPE ideas, methods and/or tools. In this respect, Prof. Kiss had several innovative contributions, with a broad scope and academic significance, covering a wide application range and solving problems of industrial importance. The novel methods and tools proposed go significantly beyond the state of the art, have a large range of applicability, and lead to original solutions that are more sustainable and profitable, being of tremendous value to the chemical industry. The award ceremony - followed by a plenary lecture given by Prof. Kiss – took place on 21st of June 2023 at the European Symposium of Computer Aided Process Engineering ( ESCAPE-33 ) conference organized in Athens (Greece).

Pieter Swinkels awarded the 4TU.SAI Stan Ackermans Medal

Pieter Swinkels was presented with the 4TU.SAI Stan Ackermans Medal by Paulien Herder, dean of the faculty of Applied Sciences, during the symposium for Engineering Doctorate (EngD) trainees on 9 June 2023. Pieter Swinkels is managing director of the post-MSc EngD designer programmes in Chemical Product Design and Process and Equipment Design (CPD and PED) at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). He is also TU Delft’s coordinator within the 4TU.SAI (Stan Ackermans Institute) representing all EngD programmes in the Netherlands. There was a double cause for celebration, as the programme also celebrated the 500th EngD graduate.
