Academics - ChBE
As Professor of the Practice in the School of Chemical & Bimolecular Engineering, I serve as industry liaison with Georgia Tech and its faculty. In this role, I seek to build relationships between the academic research of the Institute and the needs of industry. My background in the private sector as research manager for many years at Scott/Kimberly-Clark Industries has given me unique insight into the needs of companies and I am now able to match those needs with the capabilities and innovation here at Tech. In addition to my role with industry, I also spend time in the classroom, teaching ChBE 6741 and 6742, Pulp & Paper Manufacturing I and II. These courses are required for graduate students receiving PSE funding from the RBI endowment for their research. It’s a fulfilling opportunity to work with some of the brightest minds in research and explore their ideas for the next generation trends in the industry.
