Dr Federico Alberini, Lecturer in Chemical Engineering at the University of Birmingham, was awarded the European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE) Young Research Award at the 16th European Conference on Mixing in Toulouse, France.
The EFCE has established a series of Excellence Awards to recognise PhD theses or publications of young researchers published in preceding years which demonstrate the most outstanding contribution to research or practise in the scientific field of the EFCE Working Parties and Sections.
The triennial Young Researcher Award was established by EFCE to recognise the work of a young researcher in their early career – demonstrating an outstanding contribution to research and/or practise in mixing.
Dr Alberini was awarded for his excellent research in the field of mixing, for which he achieved the best evaluation in terms of quality of his PhD thesis on Blending of Non-Newtonian Fluids in Static Mixers: Assessment Via Optical Methods. The thesis has received outstanding publications in international journals, participation in mixing conferences, international activities and networking, ongoing activities in mixing research and technology, and industrial significance of the scientific activity.
Upon commenting on the award, Dr Alberini, said:
“I am very happy to have won this recognition, which motivates myself to keep exploring new approaches and methodologies to better understand mixing.”
