UCL Chemical Engineering has been awarded two out of the six best poster prizes in the ChemEngDayUK 2013:

Following the success of last year’s  Engineering League, set up by our own Ibrahim El-Habbal, Mario Johnson (2012-13 Ramsay Society Sports Secretary) extended this to a larger UCL-wide football tournament.

Dr. Paola Lettieri’s article in Waste Management is now listed as one of the most cited articles.

Dr. Eva Sorensen has been awarded the ExxonMobil Excellence in Teaching Award 2012, and named "ExxonMobil Teaching Fellow".

Paul Shearing was the first author of the most cited paper in Chemical Engineering Science in the period 2009-10 for the paper entitled: 3D reconstruction of SOFC anodes using a focused ion beam lift-out technique (Chem. Eng. Sci., 64(17) 3928-3933, 2009.) 

The Department is pleased to welcome Prof Marc-Olivier Coppens as the new Head of Department and Ramsay Memorial Professor of Chemical Engineering.
