Dr. Hasan Jameel, Ellis Signe Olssen Professor of Chemical Engineering in the Department of Wood & Paper Science at North Carolina State University, has been selected by the College of Natural Resources to receive the Board of Governor's College Award for Excellence in Teaching. Along with a cash award and recognition at a campus-wide event in the Spring, Jameel will be a nominee for the University Board of Governor's Award.
The Board of Governors Awards for Excellence in Teaching were created in 1994 to underscore the importance of teaching and to encourage, recognize, and reward outstanding teaching. Nominees for the award must be tenured professors who have spent at least seven years at the nominating institutions and who have “demonstrated excellent or exceptional teaching ability over a sustained period of time.”
Jameel joined the NC State Department of Wood & Paper Science in 1987 following a career with International Paper. He has received numerous honors and awards for his work, including recognition as NCSU Outstanding Teacher (1990 and 2005), NCSU Alumni Distinguished Professor (1999), and NCSU Outstanding Advisor (2006). In 2005 Dr. Jameel received the Johan C.F.C. Richter Prize from the TAPPI Pulp Manufacture Division. Other TAPPI honors include the David Wetherhorn Award (1994), TAPPI Outstanding Instructor (1995) and the Wayne Carr Best Paper Award (2002).
He has been a TAPPI Member since 1987 and has been involved with several Divisions and Local Sections. Dr. Jameel is also a Fellow of the International Academy of Wood Science, TAPPI and a member of AIChE. He holds three patents and has authored two books and more than 100 conference papers.
Jameel’s professional specialties include pulping and bleaching, process optimization and simulation, and bio-energy and gasification. He earned his Bachelors degree in Chemical Engineering from Texas A&M University and his Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering from Princeton.
Popular with students in the paper science & engineering program and noted for his enthusiasm for his subject matter, this is Jameel's third Board of Governor's College Award of Excellence in Teaching, earning it previously in both 2003-2004 and in 2008-2009.
