Overview

The Guggenheim Medal for 2021 is awarded to Dr Carolyn Koh.

This webinar will be focused on the subject of fluid separations. Dr Koh, based at the Colorado School of Mines, is internationally renowned for her pioneering research on the thermophysical properties hydrates, specifically in the area of flow assurance, providing insights to prevent industrial accidents.

The Davidson Medal for 2021 is awarded to Dr William Herron.
