Professor Amir Mohammadi of the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) recently received a Certificate of Appreciation in recognition of his outstanding service as a Technical Committee Member at the 14th International Conference on Chemistry and Chemical Process (ICCCP 2025).
The conference, held in Okinawa, Japan, from 21 to 24 February 2025, brought together researchers, scientists, engineers and practitioners from around the world to present the latest advances in chemistry and chemical process engineering.
Mohammadi was honoured for his “excellent work as Technical Committee Member and significant contribution to the success” of the conference. The recognition highlighted his role in supporting the academic quality and smooth running of the international event.
ICCCP 2025 covered a broad range of topics, including physical and analytical chemistry, materials chemistry, catalysis, reaction engineering, environmental chemistry, sustainable chemical process engineering, and emerging technologies in chemical engineering. The conference featured keynote addresses, oral and poster presentations and panel discussions aimed at fostering global collaboration and innovation.
Reflecting on the recognition, Mohammadi said: “It was a privilege to contribute to ICCCP 2025 and to engage with researchers from across the globe. International conferences such as this are essential for advancing scientific knowledge, encouraging collaboration and inspiring innovative solutions to global challenges in chemistry and chemical engineering.”
He added that the conference provided valuable opportunities to exchange ideas, strengthen research networks and explore future directions in the field.
The ICCCP series is regarded as an important annual platform for sharing research achievements and promoting co-operation among researchers from different countries. The 2025 conference in Okinawa further strengthened these objectives by bringing together experts to discuss advancements and challenges in chemical sciences and chemical engineering.
Mohammadi’s recognition underscores UKZN’s growing international presence in chemical sciences and engineering research.
