Speaker Bio:
Dr. Fogler is probably most widely know for his development of a particular yellow book that we all know very well – he is the author of Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering. He is also very well known at the University of Michigan where he has taught for over 40 years and is the Vennema Professor of Chemical Engineering. However, he has a tie to Illinois because he received his BS degree at the University of Illinois in 1962. Then he moved west and earned his MS and PhD degrees from the University of Colorado in 1963 and 1965. His career at the University of Michigan began right after graduation. During his 40+ years at the University of Michigan he received numerous awards from the university and from the chemical engineering department including: Excellence in Research Award – ’97, Distinguished Faculty Achievement Award ’96, Excellence in Service Award – ’95, Excellence in Teaching Award - ’93, Phi Lambda Upsilon Teaching and Leadership Award, Distinguished Faculty Service Award, along with many other awards and honors. Dr. Fogler has also been very active in AIChE throughout his career. For example, in 1980 he received the Chemical Engineer of the Year Award from the Detroit Section of AIChE. He was named an AIChE Fellow in June 1994, and he received the Warren K. Lewis Award for Contributions to Chemical Engineering Education, 1995. He had also held a wide range of AIChE offices including: AIChE Group Chairman 6, Education, Director of AIChE, and Director, CTOC - AIChE. Today Dr. Fogler is chair elect of AIChE, and he will soon be leading our organization.
