On April 11th 2024, Professor Qian Huang received the Oldroyd Early Career Award from the European Society of Rheology (ESR), and gave a plenary talk at the Annual European Rheology Conference in Leeds, UK.

The Oldroyd Early Career Award is introduced by the ESR in 2023 in commemoration of the scientific achievements of James Gardner Oldroyd, pioneer of rheology. The award is bestowed by the ESR every year to a young prominent rheologist who has distinguished her/himself in research, practice, or service to rheology, regardless of her or his geographical location.
