Welcome to another new year. We live in an amazing time where space travel has become routine, fusion reactors are more than a dream, and new biomedical technologies are improving our quality of life. It’s great to be a chemical engineer in 2025. I am excited to lead AIChE as its President during the coming year.

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite collects data on the global ocean and the major water bodies that comprise Earth's freshwater resources. Over time, these data will make it easier for researchers to analyze how waterbodies are responding to climate change and the impacts of human activity on Earth's freshwater systems.
