Andrew J. Medford, an assistant professor in Georgia Tech’s School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, has received a 35 Under 35 Award from the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.

This award honors engineers under the age of 35 who have made significant contributions to the Institute and to the chemical engineering profession. AIChE and the Young Professionals Committee (YPC), with support from the AIChE Foundation, are recognizing this year’s 35 outstanding young AIChE members.

The 35 Under 35 Award was founded to recognize young chemical engineers who have achieved greatness in their fields. The winners are a group of driven, engaged, and socially active professionals, representing the breadth and diversity that chemical engineering exemplifies.

Award winners were selected for their achievements in one of seven categories: bioengineering, chemicals and materials, education, energy and environment, innovation and entrepreneurship, leadership, and safety.

Medford’s research focuses on using data science and machine learning to elucidate reaction mechanisms and improve density functional theory calculations. He is particularly interested in nitrogen chemistry and sustainable fertilizer production to help solve world hunger.
