Izatt-Christensen Lecture
Technical Lecture: Role of Experimental & Theoretical Methods in the Development of a Molecular Perspective of Catalysis
We are pleased to announce Dr. Alexis T. Bell, Professor at the University of California, Berkley as this year's speaker for the Reed M. Izatt and James J. Christensen lecture.
Dr. Alexis T. Bell is a decorated scholar in the field of chemical engineering. Known worldwide for his research in the field of heterogeneous catalysis, he is recognized as a pioneer in developing new ways of promoting important chemical reactions, such as those needed to provide sustainable energy for future generations. Professor Bell has received dozens of awards and honors for his research contributions, including the Curtis W. McGraw award, the Professional Progress, R.H. Wilhelm, and William H. Walker awards given by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. He is a rare dual-member of both the National Academy of Engineering and the National Academy of Sciences. His groundbreaking work on catalysts for critical chemical reactions will enable economical use of renewable sources of energy.
