45 years on, and the Class of 1981 proved that some connections never fade!! 💙
It was a pleasure to welcome Chemical Engineering alumni back to @imperialcollege this week, where old friends reunited, memories were shared, and familiar lecture theatres sparked plenty of nostalgia.
Here's to lifelong friendships and the enduring Imperial community.

How does a chance conversation impact science? 🤔
25 years ago, our soon-to-be Dean, Prof @OkMatar met Prof Richard Craster at an @ImperialCollege workshop. Realising they were both working on a complex mathematical equation, they left to tackle it – and never went back.

How do we build a more sustainable, healthy and resilient future?❤️🩹♻️
At our annual Research Showcase 2026, researchers shared advances in green solvents, electrochemical technologies, digital drug discovery, advanced separations and sustainable systems engineering, to tackle this and other such questions.
The event also featured poster and demo sessions showcasing cutting-edge research from across the Department, alongside an industry keynote from Sal Garcia at the Eli Lilly and Company.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to another inspiring showcase of innovation, collaboration and research excellence.💡
