November 13, 2005 -- Citation: “The 2005 Donald Q. Kern Award is bestowed upon Sanjoy Banerjee for his seminal work on transport phenomena in multiphase systems, with major impact on the analyses of plant safety and environmental processes.”
Sanjoy Banerjee is a Professor of Chemical Engineering with joint appointments in both Mechanical Engineering and the Bren School of Environmental Science and Management at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Previously in Canada, he held the position of Westinghouse Professor of Engineering Physics at McMaster University and worked at the Whiteshell Nuclear Research Establishment of the Atomic Energy of Canada where his ultimate position was Acting Director of Applied Science. He was a Founding Member of the Canadian Advisory Committee on Nuclear Safety and currently is a member of the U.S. Advisory Committee o Reactor Safeguards.
His research has had an impact on the safety of process and power plants. He has received numerous awards, including the ASME Melville Medal, the International Chemical Engineering (IChemE) Danckwerts Lectureship, the American Nuclear Society Thermal¬ Hydraulics Technical Achievement Award, and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Heat Transfer Memorial Award.
He has been honored with the Mitsubishi Visiting Professorship at the University of Tokyo, the Burgers Visiting Professorship at the Technical University of Delft, and the Dow¬ Sharma Distinguished Fellowship at the Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai. He has published extensively on thermal-fluids problems, notably on transient flow boiling, rewetting phenomena, and transport processes in particulate and gas(vapor)-liquid systems.
Presented at the 13th International Heat Transfer conference at Sydney, Australia, 13-18 August 2006. AIChE - 2005 Transport and energy Processes Division's Donald Q. Kern Award.
