Nicole Pamme is internationally recognised for her work in analytical chemistry. Her research focuses on the development of microfluidic systems and advanced analytical methods for applications including point-of-care diagnostics, environmental analysis, and the production of smart materials.
"It's wonderful. I had no idea I had been nominated, so receiving the award came as a complete surprise. I feel deeply honoured," Nicole said in an interview with the Swedish Chemical Society.
Nicole is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and has been named one of the world's most influential researchers in analytical chemistry in The Analytical Scientist Power List. In 2020, she received the Newton Country Award for her work on diagnostic methods to improve maternal healthcare in Kenya.
The SKR Chemical Engineering Award is presented annually to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the advancement of chemical engineering. The 2026 award will be presented on 27 August at a ceremony held in conjunction with a meeting at the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA) in Stockholm.
