Every year since 1981, Chemical Engineering Research and Design (Trans IChemE, Part A) has published a list of Doctorates in Chemical Engineering for the previous academic year, compiled from information supplied directly from the Heads of Department of Departments of Chemical Engineering of universities in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland. From 1993 the list was extended to cover Universities Worldwide. The following titles have been selected to include those relevant to process safety and environmental protection, which it felt would be of interest to readers of this journal. Names of research supervisors are given in parentheses.
