Academicians James Wei (Professor of Engineering of Princeton University), Norman N. Li (President of NL Chemical Technology, Inc.), and Liang-Shih Fan (Distinguished University Professor and C. John Easton Professor in Engineering, Chemical Engineering Department of the Ohio State University) have been recognized as ones of the “100 Chemical Engineers of the Modern Era” and Academician Ralph T. Yang (Dwight F. Benton Professor of Chemical Engineering of University of Michigan) as one of the “30 Authors and Their Groundbreaking Chemical Engineering Books” by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE).

To celebrate its 100th anniversary, the Awards and Recognition Subcommittee of the Centennial Celebration Committee of the AIChE has developed lists of individuals who contributed to the profession and society in a variety of times and ways. These lists highlight advances in the profession during the years before World War II (“Foundation Age”) and after (“Modern Era”), as well as the authors of ground-breaking textbooks, industrial executives, astronauts, and chemical engineers who achieved fame in other pursuits. The subcommittee has also identified the profession’s forerunners.
