Singapore may be the second smallest country is Asia, but it packs a powerful punch for the chemical and biotech industries.
On August 4th, AIChE and its Society for Biological Engineering hosted a reception for members in the country. This was the last night of a successful 2010 ICBN conference, mentioned below. The reception was a great networking opportunity especially for graduate students and post-docs.

In addition to Singapore, members came from India, the U.S., Malaysia, UK, and Korea.
The location was the beautiful Sky Gardens atop the Singapore government's engineering headquarters, Fusionopolis.
Members enjoyed vast views from Jurong Island and the Singapore Flyer to the new ship-shaped casino (Marina Bay Sands) while they met and talked with other engineers. ExxonMobil, Mitsui, and Shell members even pointed out their chemical plants.
The 5th SBE International Conference on Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (ICBN 2010) was a big success. It was held at the Biopolis in Singapore from August 1-4, 2010 and chaired by Professor Jackie Ying. Over 300 delegates from around the world convened at this multidisciplinary conference co-organized by the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) and SBE.

AIChE’s Institute and Board of Directors’ Awards are AIChE’s highest honors, and candidates are nominated by the chemical engineering community and voted upon by the members of AIChE’s volunteer-led Awards Committee. The prizes recognize outstanding achievements and world-class contributions across a spectrum of chemical engineering endeavors.
Process safety education plays a critical role at every stage of an engineer’s career. In this three-part series, experts from the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) explore how engineers can build and strengthen the knowledge, judgment, and habits needed to manage risk and support safer operations.
In this series, we discuss process engineering with a wide range of process engineers working in a variety of industries, whether in petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, food processing, or any other process-intensive industry.
The National Technical University of Athens secured its second consecutive first-prize win in the Chem-E-Car Competition®, finishing just 2.5 cm from the target at the 2026 Annual Student Conference.
Dr. Peppas is being recognized for visionary leadership and transformative service to AIChE, founding biomaterials and bionanotechnology communities, strengthening governance, and advancing interdisciplinary chemical engineering worldwide.
