Since 2013, we’ve helped recognise Western Australia’s brightest minds through the annual Premier’s Science Awards, which celebrate outstanding science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) researchers, students and engagement initiatives across the state.
Each awards see a world-class scientist who has demonstrated an exceptional contribution to the field recognised as Scientist of the Year.
Professor Eric May, a 2021 Scientist of the Year finalist, is the Chevron Chair in Gas Process Engineering at the University of Western Australia; Director of the Australian Centre for LNG Futures; and an Australian Research Council Future Fellow. His research group works closely with industry, conducting projects in LNG production, flow assurance and fluid property prediction.
