TitleBoger, David Vernon: certificate of election to the Royal Society
DescriptionCertificate of Election
CitationProfessor Boger is an Inaugural Laureate Professor at the University of Melbourne, Professor of Chemical Engineering, and Director of the Particulate Fluids Processing Centre, a Special Research Centre of the Australian Research Council. Highlights of his research include the discovery of constant viscosity elastic liquids (Boger fluids), detailed experimental investigations using such materials to define fluid elasticity effects in important flows, the linking of basic surface chemistry to the continuum properties and the processing of particulate fluids, developing novel methods for flow property measurement, and the linking of the basic research to significant industrial outcomes in the petroleum, food and minerals industries. His current research is linked to applications in atomisation, inkjet printing and the delivery of agricultural chemicals. His work in environmental rheology has made a large international impact. Professor Boger's work has been recognised with many awards, including the Walter Ahlstrom Prize of the Finnish Academies of Technology, the CSIRO Medal and the POL Eureka Prize for Environmental Research in Australia, the Annual Award of the British Society of Rheology in the United Kingdom, and the Alcoa Award for Environmental Excellence in the United States of America. In 2000 Professor Boger received the Flinders Medal, the highest award of the Australian Academy of Science in the Physical Sciences, and the Chemeca Medal, which is the most prestigious award given in the chemical engineering profession in Australia and New Zealand. In 2002 Professor Boger received the K L Sutherland Memorial Medal from the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering, and the Victoria Prize ($50,000) which was created to recognise exceptional achievement in science, engineering or technology and inspire personal commitment. Associated with the Victoria Prize was the $100,000 Anne and Eric Smorgon Memorial Award. In 2003 this work was recognised with the award of a Centenary Medal from the Australian Prime Minister, and Professor Boger received the Clunies Ross National Science and Technology Award.
