Alan Graham
November 17, 2010—Alan Graham of the Laboratory’s Applied Electromagnetics group has been named a 2010 Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.
He is honored in recognition of his many contributions to the field of chemical engineering, most notably in the areas of fluid mechanics, rheology, and multiphase transport phenomena.
Graham’s work resulted in the first direct observations of particle migration in homogeneous flow fields and the development of new particle migration theories.
He also developed the Institute for Multiscale Materials Studies, a joint initiative between LANL and the University of California at Santa Barbara.
Graham received a doctorate in chemical engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
