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]

She is on the editorial board of the journals Molecular Systems Design & Engineering[14] and Fluid Phase Equilibria.[15] She is an Associate Editor for the journals Chemical Engineering Science and Journal of Global Optimization.[15]
