Johan Grievink PSE Award
PSE-NL announces the call for nominations
PSE-NL recently announced the call for nominations for the Johan Grievink PSE Award for an outstating thesis on Process Systems Engineering. The award, which includes a monetary prize, is handed out every year, alternating between best PhD/PDEng thesis. For 2022, PhD theses are considered! The deadline for nominations is May 1st, 2022.
Johan Grievink PSE Award
Since 2020, the PSE-NL association presents this annual award for an outstanding (MSc/BSc/PDEng/PhD) thesis, demonstrating an important contribution to research and/or practice in process systems engineering. The award comprises: a plaque/ certificate and a cash award of 1 000 Euro.
JOHAN GRIEVINK
Johan Grievink is an emeritus professor of process systems engineering of Delft University. Over the time span of his career Prof. Grievink has played an important role in shaping the field of PSE (process systems engineering) and CAPE (Computer aided process engineering) in the Netherlands, and training and educating many generations of chemical engineering students. His focus has been on interactions between product and process design and design and operability aspects of intensified sustainable processes. His name is nationally and internationally become a synonym to “PSE in the Netherlands”.
Gabriela Daisy Hadiwinoto (TU Delft)
Gabriela was a PDEng trainee at TU Delft in Chemical Product Design program. Her PDEng thesis topic was the design of an extended protocol for the treatment of vitamin B12 deficiency. Together with the B12 Institute from Rotterdam, she proposed a vicious cycle which describes several hypotheses on the causes and impacts of B12 cellular inactivity. The topic was a huge challenge for her, as she has little to no background in biochemistry and medical field. With the help of the supervision team from TU Delft and the B12 Institute, she utilized the chemical engineering logics (i.e. breaking down the body function as a series of continuous reactors) to analyze and approach the issues. The outcome of her work is expected to provide a new direction for the research and clinical practice of the B12 deficiency treatment.
