Claire Sandrine Jacqueline 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. [1] [2]

Early life and education

Claire Sandrine Jacqueline Adjiman was raised in France and relocated to London in 1988. [3] [4] Adjiman received a master's degree in chemical engineering from Imperial College London in 1993. [5] She completed a PhD under Christodoulos A. Floudas at Princeton University in 1998 [5] and her thesis was titled 'Global optimization Techniques for Process Systems Engineering' . [4]

Research

In 1998 she joined the faculty at Imperial College London, where she was awarded a Royal Academy of Engineering - Imperial Chemical Industries fellowship. [5] She was appointed to Senior Lecturer in 2003 and Professor in 2011. [6] [5] She was a visiting professor at the Department of Chemistry at University of Warwick between 2007 and 2010. [5] Her research focuses on integrating molecular level decisions into process design, property prediction and optimisation. [5] [7] Her group are developing computer-based process design techniques to improve the process economics as well as the material and energy efficiency. [7] She is considered an expert in engineering molecular systems. [8] Adjiman works with the oil and gas industry, solid oxide fuel cells and CO2 capture. [9]

In 2012 she was awarded an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council Leadership Fellowship. [10] She is the Director of Centre for Process Systems Engineering at Imperial College London [11] [10] and is the co-director of the Institute of Molecular Science and Engineering at Imperial College London. [5]

In 2015 she was elected to the Royal Academy of Engineering. [12] In 2016 she was elected to the Royal Society of Chemistry. [13] . In 2023 she was elected to the USA National Academy of Engineering [14] .

She is on the editorial board of the journals Molecular Systems Design & Engineering [15] and Fluid Phase Equilibria. [16] She is an Associate Editor for the journals Chemical Engineering Science and Journal of Global Optimization. [16]
