Jan Vermant is the 2021 Bingham Medalist of The Society of Rheology
Jan Vermant receives the award for advancing the science of interfacial rheology through the development of new measurement techniques and methods of analysis and for bringing new understanding to the rheology of dispersions through microstructural interpretation of rheological data. His development of superposition rheometry has created a new approach to studying microstructure during nonlinear flows.
The Bingham Medal is the highest award of the Society of Rheology and is given annually to an individual who has made outstanding contributions to the field of rheology. The Bingham Award will be presented at the 92nd Society of Rheology Annual Meeting, accompanied by a plenary lecture by Professor Vermant, to be held October 10-14, 2021 in Bangor, Maine.
