It is with great sadness that we inform you that Malcolm
McIvor has passed away. Malcolm was one of the key people in ICI who helped
establish CPACT in 1997 and he played a prominent role in PhD supervision
during the early stages of CPACT’s activities.
Malcolm enjoyed his engagement
with CPACT and generously endowed a prize that he wished to be awarded annually
to a postgraduate student or early career researcher at a CPACT
university/institute or member company in recognition of that researchers achievement
in process analytics and control technologies. The first prize was
awarded in 2014 and Malcolm enjoyed attending the Research Days each year to
present the winner with their prize. Malcolm will be sadly missed by all
at CPACT.
