Fenella Nordquist
Chemical engineer Fenella Nordquist, chief technical advisor for KBR UK, is presented with the Greene Medal by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE). An active IChemE volunteer for 25 years, Nordquist has been instrumental in the evolution of the process of accrediting chemical engineering degrees and has mentored generations of chemical engineering students, according to the organization. Named after a founder member of the Institution, the Greene Medal is awarded each year to a volunteer for the most commendable long-term contribution to the progress of IChemE.
Nordquist joined IChemE’s Education and Accreditation Forum (EAF) in 1995 after having benefitted from the Institution’s programs in education and employment. Recognizing the importance of ensuring degrees offered by universities are of a high standard and relevant to the industry, she joined the EAF to be part of the process that maintains the necessary standards.
The medal was presented by Les Bolton, chair of the EAF, and Jarka Glassey, vice president Learned Society.
Nominations are currently open for the IChemE 2021 medals and prizes.
