10:27 a.m., Nov. 20, 2008----Jingguang Chen will deliver his inaugural lecture as the University of Delaware's Claire D. LeClaire Professor of Chemical Engineering at 4 p.m., Monday, Nov. 24, at 131 Sharp Laboratory. A reception will follow in the lobby of Pierre S. du Pont Hall.
Chen's lecture is titled “Design of Catalysts: From Model Surfaces to Supported Catalysts.”
A leader in catalysis and materials science, Chen started his career at the Exxon Research and Engineering Co. in Annandale, N.J., in 1989, and he joined the University of Delaware faculty in 1998.
He served as director of the University of Delaware's Center for Catalytic Science and Technology from 2000-07.
Chen has published 175 articles in refereed journals and holds 17 U.S. patents. He served as chair of the Gordon Research Conference on Catalysis in 2002 and as chair of the Philadelphia Catalysis Club in 2004.
Chen has received a number of awards, including the USA-China Chemistry Graduate Fellowship, the Andrew Mellon Predoctoral Fellowship from the University of Pittsburgh, the Russell Varian Fellowship from the AVS, the Alexander Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellowship, the Catalysis Award from the Philadelphia Catalysis Club, and the Excellence in Catalysis Award from the New York Catalysis Society.
He has been elected to leadership positions in several professional organizations, including serving as chairperson of the Gordon Research Conference on Catalysis, on the board of directors of the North American Catalysis Society and the catalysis secretariat of the American Chemical Society.
He has served on the editorial boards of five international journals.
Chen received his doctoral degree from the University of Pittsburgh in 1988, followed by a year in Germany as a Humboldt postdoctoral fellow. He received his bachelor's degree in chemistry from China's Nanjing University.
The professorship was made possible by the endowment of the late Claire D. LeClaire, formerly of Dover, in support of chemical engineering efforts at the University.
The lecture is free and open to the public but those who plan to attend are asked to call (302) 831-2401 or e-mail [engr-events@udel.edu].
