Claire Adjiman FREng FRSC FIChemE is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London and a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering.
Early life and education
Adjiman was raised in France and relocated to London in 1988.[1] Adjiman received a master's degree in chemical engineering from Imperial College London in 1993.[2] She completed a PhD under Christodoulos A. Floudas at Princeton University in 1998[2] and her thesis was titled 'Global optimization Techniques for Process Systems Engineering' .[1]
Research
In 1998 she joined the faculty at Imperial College London, where she was awarded a Royal Academy of Engineering - Imperial Chemical Industries fellowship.[2] She was appointed to Senior Lecturer in 2003 and Professor in 2011.[3][2] She was a Visiting Professor at the Department of Chemistry at University of Warwick between 2007 and 2010[2]. Her research focuses on integrating molecular level decisions into process design, property prediction and optimisation.[2][4] Her group are developing computer-based process design techniques to improve the process economics as well as the material and energy efficiency.[4] She is considered an expert in engineering molecular systems.[5] Adjiman works with the oil and gas industry, solid oxide fuel cells and CO2 capture.[6]
In 2012 she was awarded an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council Leadership Fellowship.[7] She is the Director of Centre for Process Systems Engineering at Imperial College London[8][7] and is the Co-Director of the Institute of Molecular Science and Engineering at Imperial College London.[2]
In 2015 she was elected to the Royal Academy of Engineering.[9] In 2016 she was elected to the Royal Society of Chemistry.[citation needed]
She is on the editorial board of the journals Molecular Systems Design & Engineering[10] and Fluid Phase Equilibria[11]. She is an Associate Editor for the journals Chemical Engineering Science and Journal of Global Optimization [11].
