Chiara Recalcati has been awarded the Gustavo Sclocchi Award 2024–2025, one of the most prestigious national recognitions for doctoral theses in the field of energy. Now in its 32nd edition, the award is promoted by the Italian Section of the SPE (Society of Petroleum Engineers), Assorisorse (the Italian Association for the Energy and Sustainable Resources Industry), and the EAGE (European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers). The aim of the award is to highlight outstanding doctoral research on technical topics related to energy, carried out by young Italian researchers in Italy or abroad, with a background in STEM disciplines. Chiara Recalcati received the top distinction, with her thesis evaluated as Outstanding, meaning of superior quality and exceptional performance. The award ceremony took place on May 23, 2025, at Politecnico di Milano. L'articolo Chiara Recalcati wins the Gustavo Sclocchi Award 2024–2025 proviene da DICA - Polimi.

Chiara Recalcati has received the InterPore PoreLab Award for Young Researchers, granted by the International Society for Porous Media (InterPore). This is the most prestigious international award dedicated to young researchers who have made significant scientific contributions to the study of porous media from a fundamental perspective. The award was established by InterPore and is assigned annually to outstanding profiles in the field. The award ceremony took place during the 17th International InterPore Conference, held in Albuquerque (New Mexico, USA) from May 19 to 22, 2025. The award citation reads: “Dr. Chiara Recalcati’s diverse research portfolio on fundamental porous media science, her publications, and her successful and already broad international experience, serve as an inspiration to young scientists everywhere. She is rapidly emerging as a reference scientist in the experimental and theoretical characterization of the heterogeneous nature of reactive processes taking place across the surface of minerals in contact with a fluid and driving chemical weathering of natural porous media.” L'articolo Chiara Recalcati Awarded the InterPore PoreLab Award for Young Researchers proviene da DICA - Polimi.

Chiara Recalcati has been awarded the Prix de la Faculté des Geosciences et de l’Environnement (Université de Lausanne, Switzerland) for outstanding PhD Thesis (PhD Thesis: Stochastic characterization of reactive processes in porous media). Chiara has just completed her Double PhD path obtaining a PhD in Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering (Politecnico di Milano) and a PhD in Earth Sciences (Université de Lausanne, Switzerland). Laudatio: In recognition of her seminal and synergistic experimental and theoretical studies leading to quantitative understanding of nano-scale patterns of heterogeneous geochemical reactions taking place at mineral-fluid interfaces and driving chemical weathering of the Earth interior. The prize has been awarded during the official ceremony in Lausanne on December 06, 2024.
