1986 after working for three years at American Cyanamid. In 1987, he
received the National Science Foundation's Presidential Young
Investigator Award and in 1991 was promoted to associate professor at
Delaware.
     In addition to his teaching and research duties in the
University's Department of Chemical Engineering, he has been the
director of the Center for Catalytic Science and Technology since
1991.  Off the campus he is the chair-elect of the Philadelphia
Catalysis Club.
     A graduate of Providence College, he received his master's degree
at Purdue University and his doctorate at Pennsylvania State
University.
