Course Speakers

John is well known for his expertise in catalyst deactivation. He is a founding member of the Lucretia Borgia Society for Catalyst Deactivation . His recent update to his textbook, "Reaction Kinetics and Reactor Design" is well recognized and serves as a basis for  the course.  He has been involved in previous reaction engineering courses;  this new format was simply too appealing for him to pass up.  He has 168 technical publications, 1 patent, and two textbooks. He is a member of the AIChE, ACS and the Chicago Catalysis Society. He was on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Catalysis.
