Professor Haiqing Lin (SUNY Buffalo) won the AIChE Institute Award for Industrial Gas Separations. Dr. Freeman explains that, "Outside of election to the academy, this is about the biggest award someone in the membrane science field could win, certainly anyone working in gas separations using membranes."
Haiqing started with Dr. Freeman at his North Carolina State University lab, moved to UT Austin and helped to get the lab up and going again, and graduated in 2005 with his PhD. Following his graduation, Haiqing went to work for 7 years at Membrane Technology and Research (MTR) in the Bay Area, then moved to SUNY Buffalo in 2013.
Haiqing will receive this award at the upcoming Fall AIChE meeting.
