Fields of Scholarship and Research Interests
Prof Gani’s current research interests continue with the development and application of AI-based computer-aided methods and tools for modelling, property estimation, process-product synthesis, design & intensification; and process-product-tools integration with emphasis on energy, sustainability, and application of a systems approach.
For 32 years, starting from 1985, Prof Gani worked at the Department of Chemical & Biochemical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark, as a professor in systems design, where he also founded the Computer Aided Process-Product Engineering Center in 1996. Prof Gani served as an editor-in-chief of the Computers and Chemical Engineering journal (2009-2015) and currently serves as editor for the Sustainable Production & Consumption journal. He is also a member of the editorial advisory boards of several international journals, including Computers and Chemical Engineering and Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering. Prof Gani has been awarded five Doctor Honoris Causa degrees (University Politehnica Bucharest, University of Pannonia, Babes-Bolyai University, University of Maribor & Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana). Prof Gani served as the president of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE) from 2015 to 2018.
Honors, Awards and Other Membership
He is a member of the ATV, the Danish Academy of Technical Sciences, Fellow of two chemical engineering-related associations (AIChE and IChemE), and Fellow of two Artificial Intelligence-related associations (AIAA and AIIA).
He received numerous awards, for example, the AIChE Computers in Chemical Engineering award in 2015, the EFCE Jacques Villermaux Medal in 2019, the AIChE Sustainability Engineering Forum award in 2020, the IChemE Sargent Medal in 2021 and the Thomas and Donna Edgar CACHE Award for Excellence in Computing in Chemical Engineering Education given by American Society of Engineering Education in 2022.
