Chemical Engineering – UCL
Eva Sorensen MBE FREng holds an MSc and PhD in chemical engineering from NTNU, Norway. Her research activities are primarily in the area of fluid separations, for which the application of advanced modelling and optimisation techniques for optimal design and operation can lead to very substantial benefits, especially within the increasingly important sectors of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. By considering all possible degrees of freedom and design combinations, new plants, or retrofits of existing plants, may be found which can significantly improve productivity and at the same time reduce environmental impact. Eva has been the recipient of several awards including the PROSE Award for Chemistry & Physics by the Association of American Publishers, the IChemE Frank Morton Medal, the SEFI Fellowship Award from the European Society for Engineering Education and the UCL Faculty of Engineering Excellence in Teaching Award.
