The Modeling and Simulation Division (M&S) is dedicated to addressing a wide range of challenges in powder and particle technology. In 2024, M&S established the APPIE Computational Granular Mechanics Award to recognize outstanding contributions by researchers and engineers to the advancement of computational granular mechanics and its industrial applications.
Candidates for the award must be nominated by a nominator, and a complete nomination package must be submitted to the M&S Division Secretariat.
Nominations will be evaluated by the Award Committee, which will select the award recipient. The recipient will receive a silver medal provided by M&S and an honorarium supported by the Information Center of Particle Technology, Japan. The award ceremony will be held at an appropriate event designated by M&S, such as POWTEX or an event of the Society of Powder Technology, Japan (SPTJ).
