Claire Adjiman is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London, affiliated with the Faculty of Engineering and the Department of Chemical Engineering. She holds an MEng from Imperial College London and a PhD from Princeton University. Her research focuses on integrating molecular-level decisions into process design, emphasizing multiscale process and molecular/materials design, property prediction, and optimization algorithms. She collaborates extensively with industries such as oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals, and has licensed thermodynamic modeling software. Adjiman directs the Sargent Centre for Process Systems Engineering and serves as Editor-in-Chief of the RSC-IChemE journal MSDE.
Adjiman's work bridges molecular-level decisions with process design, addressing limitations in traditional sequential decision-making. Her methodologies aim to enhance process economics and sustainability by expanding design spaces through computational tools. Key affiliations include the Agri Futures Lab, Centre for Advanced Therapeutics, and the Institute for Molecular Science and Engineering.
Her research spans topics like solvent design for pharmaceutical processes, CO2 capture technologies, and crystal structure prediction. She emphasizes holistic approaches to reduce environmental impact and improve material/energy efficiency. Recent projects include the HiRECORD initiative for scalable CO2 capture systems and the development of predictive models for drug manufacturing processes.
Adjiman's contributions to computational methods, including the SAFT-γ Mie equation of state and optimization algorithms, underpin her work in advancing sustainable industrial processes. Her lab's innovations aim to transform traditional manufacturing practices through data-driven and integrated design strategies.
