"The Andreas Acrivos Award for Professional Progress in Chemical Engineering is endowed by the AIChE Foundation in the name of fluid-dynamics pioneer Andreas Acrivos of the City College of New York. The prize recognizes outstanding progress in chemical engineering by an AIChE member in their early career."
"The recipient of the 2026 Acrivos Award is Dr. M. Scott Shell, Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). He is being recognized “for groundbreaking research in molecular simulation and for his outstanding textbook integrating thermodynamics with statistical mechanics.”"
"He and the other Institute and Board of Directors’ Award recipients will be honored at the 2026 AIChE Annual Meeting, November 8–12 in Minneapolis."
