Congratulations to Eric for being selected for the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) and the AIChE Foundation as the 2021 William R. Schowalter Lecturer.
Eric has been selected in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the chemical engineering profession in the field of fluid mechanics, and in particular for his seminal work on elastic instabilities, fiber suspensions, polymer statistical dynamics, and suspension dynamics.
This endowed lecture, launched in 2019 with initial funding by an anonymous donor, has been established to honor the distinguished career of William R. Schowalter, whose accomplishments span seminal research in fluid mechanics, visionary academic leadership, and broad contributions to chemical engineering education and practice.
This year’s William R. Schowalter Lecture will be presented on Wednesday, November 10, from 6:15pm-7:15pm.
