From page 97...
... Paul H Emmett Award in Fundamental Catalysis and Robert Burwell Lectureship; the ACS Award for Creative Research in Homogeneous or Heterogeneous Catalysis; and the NACS and European Federation of Catalysis Societies Michel Boudart Award for the Advancement of Catalysis.
From page 98...
... Adkins Emeritus Professor of Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research lies at the interface between organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis, and his group studies the mechanisms of homogeneously catalyzed reactions.
From page 99...
... He has received numerous awards, including the Emmett Award of the North American Catalysis Society, the National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award, the DuPont Young Professor Award, and the Union Carbide Innovation Recognition Award. He is the author or coauthor of about 100 publications, one patent, and a textbook titled Fundamentals of Chemical Reaction Engineering.
From page 100...
... He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and recently received a Service Award from the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers for serving as an advocate for the organization. Gretchen Jordan is a principal member of the technical staff of Sandia National Laboratories.
From page 101...
... His teaching encompassed traditional chemical engineering courses, emphasizing graduate-level kinetics and reaction engineering, heterogeneous catalysis, engineering mathematics, solidstate chemical processing, and computational condensed-matter chemistry. His research interests are in catalytic-reaction mechanism identification.
From page 102...
... He has twice served as president of the Catalysis Club of Chicago and has been active in organizing symposia on catalysis for meetings for the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and the American Chemical Society. Douglas Ray is interim deputy director for science and technology and associate laboratory director in the Fundamental & Computational Sciences Directorate of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)

... in industrial chemistry from Kyoto University in 1976; his work there concerned electrochemistry in hydrogen fluoride solvent. In 1976, he was employed as a research scientist by Osaka National Research Institute (ONRI)
From page 106...
... He now combines electrochemical methods with ex situ ultrahigh-vacuum spectroscopy and in situ surface x-ray scattering, scanning tunneling microscopy, and surface vibrational spectroscopy techniques in focusing on synthesis of anode and cathode catalysts for fuel-cell reactions, metal-deposition processes, and electrochemistry on transition-metal oxides. He is the author or coauthor of more than 200 papers and U.S.
From page 107...
... Dow Medal, the highest honor that Dow bestows on the company's scientists and researchers. He recently received the 100th Perkin Medal, widely considered to be the highest honor in American industrial chemistry.
