Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In 2019, Processes will be publishing a Special Issue to commemorate the life, work, and impact of Professor Roger W.H. Sargent. Professor Sargent worked at Imperial College London for almost 60 years and is widely regarded as the ‘academic father’ of Process Systems Engineering (PSE).
Professor Sargent’s impacts have been global. He leaves an immense legacy of many Imperial College PhD graduates and subsequent generations of researchers who in turn have contributed to the expansion of PSE as an influential area within higher education programs, as well as driving industry innovations and performance.
This Special Issue seeks to honour Professor Sargent’s legacy through insightful technical contributions, as well as through personal reflections of the authors on his impact on their own perspectives, thinking, and practice.
The editors ask interested authors to confirm their intention to submit a manuscript by 1st November 2018. The deadline for submission of the manuscript is 31 May 2019.
The Special Issue will be edited by Professors Rafiqul Gani ([email protected]) and Ian Cameron ([email protected]).
