The George R. Brown School of Engineering has recognized Walter Chapman with the Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Adviser Award as part of its 2020-21 Faculty and Staff Awards.
Each year, Rice Engineering honors members of its faculty and staff for their outstanding research, teaching, advising and service.
“Professor Chapman is an outstanding mentor who meets individually with every student each week. He promotes student interaction with international experts through student attendance at major conferences, industrial projects, and by bringing experts to Rice," the nomination letter said of Chapman, who is the William W. Akers Chair Professor in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Rice University.
Earlier this year, the Journal of Chemical and Engineering Data celebrated the 30th anniversary of influential models co-created by Chapman.
