Webinar: Greene and Nicklin Medal Awards and Nicklin Presentation

Webinar: Greene and Nicklin Medal Awards and Nicklin Presentation
  • Date From 29th June 2021
  • Date To 29th June 2021
  • Price Free of charge, open to all.
  • Location Online: 08:00 BST. Duration: 1 hour.

Overview

The Greene Medal is awarded due to the contribution of Professor Cloke to IChemE which has been immense over 30 years, with an outstanding contribution to core membership function.  

Dr Li, a candidate from Australia, is awarded the Nicklin Medal for outstanding work on catalysis and his patented/nature paper. Impressive publication record and impact given that only three years passed since PhD. Important area of energy and catalysis.

Speakers

Professor Michael Cloke

Professor Michael Cloke is a graduate in Chemical Engineering from the University of Nottingham. After graduation, Michael worked in industry for eight years and then as a member of academic staff at the University of Nottingham, UK.

From 2003, Michael has worked mostly in Malaysia, as Interim Director South East Asia, for IChemE and prior to this as Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Science at Curtin University Sarawak.

He was then Academic Advisor at Institut Teknologi Brunei and Dean of Faculty of Engineering, University of Nottingham, Malaysia Campus from 2005-2010. Michael has been a Fellow of IChemE for over 30 years and a chartered engineer for over 40 years.

Michael has now retired from work but is still a member of the IChemE Professional Formation Forum and has played a key role on the judging panel for the IChemE Malaysia Awards. Michael is also a part of the Program SMART steering group and an active member of the Palm Oil Processing SIG.

Dr Fengwang Li MEng

Dr Fengwang Li completed an MEng in Chemistry at Renmin University of China in 2013. Fengwang then completed his PhD study in Chemistry at Monash University in 2017, where his thesis on the use of atomically thin materials for electrochemical carbon dioxide catalysis, was awarded the university’s Mollie Holman Medal for best PhD thesis.

Fengwang then joined ARC Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science until 2017, as a Student researcher focusing on nanomaterials for solar energy. Fengwang then moved to Canada to complete PhD research at the University of Toronto, where he focused on developing catalysts and systems for the conversion of carbon dioxide to value-added fuels and chemicals.

Presently, Fengwang is a Lecturer with the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Sydney. His research aims for a “greener”, carbon-neutral future relying on electrochemical energy.
