Christine Hrenya

Hrenya graduated summa cum laude in 1991 from the Ohio State University, majoring in chemical engineering, and completed her Ph.D. in chemical engineering in 1995 at Carnegie Mellon University under the supervision of Jennifer Sinclair Curtis. She joined the University of Colorado as an assistant professor of chemical and biological engineering in 1998, added an affiliation with the department of applied mathematics in 2003, earned tenure there as an associate professor in 2005, and was promoted to full professor in 2011. ==Recognition==

Hrenya won the inaugural best dissertation award of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Particle Technology Forum (PTF), and is a winner of the PTF PSRI Lectureship Award in Fluidization and the PTF Service Award. She is the 2020 winner of the AIChE Shell Thomas Baron Award in Fluid-Particle Systems. In 2021, Hrenya was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS), after a nomination from the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics, "for key advancements in the fundamental understanding of granular matter and multiphase systems via a combination of theory, experiments, and simulations." == Publications ==
