Adams, Mike - University of Birmingham - School of Chemical Engineering

个人简介

Mike qualified with a Grad RSC in 1969 and was awarded a PhD in 1974 for research in the field of molecular acoustics at the University of Essex. He was subsequently employed as a research scientist by Unilever R&D in their London laboratory. In 1979 he transferred to their Port Sunlight laboratory where he developed his interest in process engineering and materials science including areas such as powder technology, complex fluids, interfacial engineering and tribology. Collaboration with academic institutions was an important component of his role as a Senior Scientist. He was appointed a Visiting Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering & Chemical Technology at Imperial College (1995-2003) and an Honorary Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at The University of Birmingham (2000-2003). He was also actively engaged with the activities of professional institutions, for example, he was the Chairman of the Institute of Physics Tribology Group in the period 1995 - 1998. He has continued to develop these research interests with his appointment in the School of Chemical Engineering at the University of Birmingham in 2004. Mike was awarded the Donald Julius Groen Prize by the IMechE in 1999 for outstanding contributions to interfacial engineering. As a result of his research in particle technology, he was invited by the IChemE to present the Lesley J Ford Lecture in 2003. His industrial and academic research activities were recognised in 2003 by his election as a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering.
