Adisa Azapagić MBE FREng FRSC FIChemE [2] (born 10 April 1961) is a chemical engineer and academic. [1] [3] She has served as Professor of Sustainable Chemical Engineering at the University of Manchester since 2006. [4]
Azapagic was born in 1961 in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina. [2] She attended the University of Tuzla, and graduated in 1984 with a bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering. [5] She completed her doctoral studies at the University of Surrey, and earned her PhD on Environmental System Analysis using Life-cycle assessmentin 1996. [6]
Azapagic remained at the University of Surrey for thirteen years before moving to the University of Manchester. [7] She leads the Sustainable Industrial Systems research group at the University of Manchester. [8] She runs several industry collaborations, including projects with Procter & Gamble, Kraft Foods, Whirlpool Corporation. [5] In 2015 she won the University of Manchester award for Outstanding Benefit to Society. [9] Azapagic developed software to calculate carbon footprint at the University of Manchester (CCaLC). [10]
Her research interests lie in engineering for sustainable development, which includes sustainable technology, life cycle assessment and carbon footprinting. [4] [11] In 2018 she demonstrated that the UK's chocolate industry generates the same amount of greenhouse gases as Malta. [12]
Azapagic is the founding editor-in-chief of Elsevier's Sustainable Production and Consumption. [13] She has written three books, [3] looking at sustainable development and polymers. [14]
Azapagic was elected a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng) in 2013. [15] She was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2020 New Year Honours for services to sustainability and carbon footprinting. [16] [17] She was awarded an honorary doctoral degree from Gheorghe Asachi Technical University of Iași. [5] She is part of the all-party manufacturing group. [18] She is a member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. [19] In 2010 she was awarded the Institution of Chemical Engineers prize for Outstanding Achievements in Chemical and Process Engineering. She won the GlaxoSmithKline Innovation prize in 2011. [20]
