Quote:
"The Vittorio de Nora award is very significant, representing acknowledgement of impact in environmental improvements as well as being an encouragement and impetus to continue to the work. The main reason I work in process engineering research is to see new processes make a difference – minimizing environmental impacts, improving sustainability and safety, and also achieving commercial success. My TMS membership keeps me connected with leading researchers in the fields in which I work, though sometimes it’s just too far to come for the annual meeting! It’s my hope that we can continue to connect and make a difference, wherever we are in the world and in whichever field we work."
