IFPEN’s expertise and skills are key influence and appeal factors when it comes to conducting open and collaborative research. Peer recognition in a variety of fields, reflected in the numerous, often prestigious awards received over the years, is thus essential.
Awards and accolades obtained in 2024

Jelena Macak, postdoctoral student at IFPEN, was awarded the best poster prize in June during the 5th International Conference on Numerical Methods in Multiphase Flow (ICNMMF5), for her work which focuses on the DNS simulation of gas flows in fixed beds of non-spherical particles and whose objective is to determine closure laws (drag force, lift, torque, etc.) on a small scale in order to integrate them into CFD-DEM numerical simulations on a larger scale. |

Hélène Olivier-Bourbigou, director in charge of scientific foresight, elected to the Academy of Sciences in December 2023, was received on June 4 under the dome of the Institut de France, during the official reception ceremony of 18 new academicians. Elected for the inter-section of applications of science, she sits in the chemistry section. She underlines: “being elected to the Academy is an honor and a pride, to be able to share the richness of a community which is open to discovery, debate and the exchange of knowledge in the service of science and society." |
