Smoot is a chemical engineer who earned dual bachelor degrees in chemistry and chemical engineering in 1957 from Brigham Young University and a doctorate in chemical engineering from the University of Washington in 1960. Smoot's computer models and his advocacy of computer modeling throughout the fossil fuel industry," Abraham said.ĭr. "In short, Americans are breathing cleaner air today due in large part to the brilliance of Dr. From his research has come a much better understanding of how pollutants such as nitrogen oxides are created when coal and other fuels burn, and equally important, how new technologies can reduce or prevent their formation." "Today, throughout the world, industrial and academic institutions are using the computer programs he helped develop. Smoot has championed the use of computational fluid dynamics to understand better the complex chemistry that occurs when fossil fuels burn," said Secretary Abraham. Smoot at an awards ceremony in Washington DC on October 9. Secretary Abraham will present the award and $25,000 to Dr.

Douglas Smoot, who will retire at the end of the year from being a full time faculty member of BYU's College of Engineering and Technology, will receive the 2002 award, the highest honor given by the Energy Department for outstanding contributions to fossil energy science and technology. Lowry Award will go to a Brigham Young University professor whose research into the computer modeling of fuel combustion has led to groundbreaking insights into the formation and prevention of air pollutants. Washington, DC - Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham today announced that the Department of Energy's 2002 Homer H. Douglas Smoot's Contributions To Cleaner Fuel Combustion in Announcing $25,000 Award Issued on: SeptemBrigham Young University Professor Named Winner of DOE's Lowry AwardĪbraham Cites L.
