Chemical engineering professor Jeff Morris of the Grove School has won another major rheology award.
One of the world’s leading experts in the field, Jeffrey Morris of The City College of New York’s Grove School of Engineering, is the recipient of the 2023 Bingham Medal from the Society of Rheology (SOR). The Medal is the 93-year-old SOR’s highest award and is given annually to an individual who has made outstanding contributions to the field of rheology.
The Society cited Morris: “for his transformative research on the flow of suspensions, particularly of the mechanics of discontinuous shear thickening, and his application of rheology to practical problems in suspension flow, including his novel work on the rheology of hydrate-forming emulsions.”
A chemical engineer and the director of the Benjamin Levich Institute for Physico-Chemical Hydrodynamics in the Grove School, Morris will be honored on Aug. 3 at the International Congress on Rheology, in Athens, Greece. He will present the keynote lecture at the event.
The Society of Rheology is an American professional society formed in December, 1929 to represent scientists and technologists working in the field of rheology, the science of the deformation and flow of matter.
This is the second major honor bestowed on Morris in 12 months. He received the 2022 Weissenberg Award from the European Society of Rheology becoming the first non-European to win the award and joining an elite group of rheologists who have been recognized in previous years.
