implementation of industrial products, catalysts or processes through
ingenious and creative application of chemical reaction engineering
and/or catalysis concepts. Awardees will be selected based on their
contributions to the discovery and application of innovative catalysis or
reaction engineering solutions to technological problems, and/or
commercialization of new products and processes. Candidate must be an
AIChE member. Candidates may be from academia, national labs, or
