Venkat Venkatasubramanian to Receive AIChE’s Walker Award for Chemical Engineering Literature
Dr. Venkat Venkatasubramanian, the Samuel Ruben–Peter G. Viele Professor of Engineering at Columbia University's Department of Chemical Engineering, has been named the recipient of AIChE’s 2024 William H. Walker Award. He is being honored “for pioneering contributions in developing hybrid artificial intelligence modeling frameworks for process fault diagnosis, supervisory control, process safety, and the inverse design of materials.”
Dr. Venkatasubramanian and the other Institute and Board of Directors’ Award recipients will receive their honors during the 2024 AIChE Annual Meeting, October 27–31 in San Diego, California.
Presented since 1935, the William H. Walker Award for Excellence in Contributions to Chemical Engineering Literature is named for William Hultz Walker (1969–1934), a founder of the chemical engineering discipline who in 1916 established the School of Chemical Engineering Practice at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Walker Award is given to a member of AIChE who has made outstanding contributions to the field’s literature. The award is sponsored by John Wiley & Sons.
