Queen’s Professor wins Andrew Medal and Fellowship 

The head of chemistry and chemical engineering at Queen's has been presented with the Andrew Medal and Fellowship at IChemE's first Chemical Engineering and Catalysis conference in London, held at the beginning of June.

The Andrew Medal and Fellowship was established in 2012 to honour Syd Andrew, a distinguished chemical engineer with a special interest in catalysis, who died in 2011. The award includes £15,000 per annum for up to four years to enable Professor Hardacre to carry out research into the science of formulation of heterogeneous catalysts.

David Brown, IChemE’s chief executive said: “Professor Hardacre’s research in the field of heterogeneous catalysis is recognised as world-leading. We're delighted that, through the generosity of Professor Syd Andrew, we are able to do more to recognise this important area of chemical engineering."

Responding Professor Hardacre said: “Receiving the Andrew Medal is a real honour and I feel that it brings recognition to the work that we have been doing on heterogeneous catalysis at Queen’s over the last 15 years.

"Collaboration between chemical engineers, chemists and industry is essential if we are to make real progress. That's what we are doing at Queen’s. The award gives a big ‘thumbs up’ to our approach to multidisciplinary working.”
