Who said that the science and technology of decision making is a privilege only for mathematicians, operations researchers, industrial engineers, economists, management scientists, and the likes? Chemical engineers have played their own vital roles in shaping the science and technology of decision making.
They have conceptualized some of the most practically useful (and beautiful!) decision making theory and algorithms.
They have invented some of the most efficient state-of-the-art computational tools and software for decision making.
Thus, it is not surprising that some of the most challenging decision making problems are chemical engineers's day-to-day breakfasts.
To honor their contributions, here is a (partial) list of their hallmarks:
Name (Highest Degree in ChemE) [Current Institution]
John von Neumann (BS) [deceased]
John Nash (BS) [Princeton University]
Thomas Magnanti (BS) [Massachusetts Institute of Technology]
George Nemhauser (BS) [Georgia Institute of Technology]
Ignacio Grossmann (PhD) [Carnegie Mellon University]
Lorenz Biegler (PhD) [Carnegie Mellon University]
Nikolaos Sahinidis (PhD) [Carnegie Mellon University]
