Professor Klavs Jensen, Chair of MIT’s Chemical Engineering Department, receives the 2011 William H. Walker Award from Nicholas Peppas, Chairman of the AIChE Awards Committee. The William H. Walker is the highest AIChE recognition and the earliest national award established by AIChE in 1936. In this 75th anniversary of this award we remember that its first recipient was Allan P. Colburn of the University of Delaware whose name is given to the AIChE Young Investigator Award (under 35 years of age). Dr Jensen as well as Drs Bowman, Anseth and Khademhosseini (see below) have received the Colburn Award in 1987, 2002, 2003 and 2010, respectively.
