Dr. C. Stewart Slater, Rowan University professor of chemical engineering, has been appointed chair of the Publications Board of the esteemed Chemical Engineering Education (CEE) journal. Slater previously served as vice-chair and has been a board member for more than 10 years.
CEE is published jointly by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) and the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) and is the leading journal in the field of chemical engineering pedagogy.
Slater taught and worked in chemical engineering departments at Manhattan College and Rutgers University before becoming the founding chair of Rowan’s Chemical Engineering program in 1995. Slater received his B.S. in chemical engineering and his M.S., M.Ph. and Ph.D. in chemical and biochemical engineering from Rutgers University. Before beginning his academic career, Slater served as a process development engineer at the Proctor & Gamble Company.
Slater is a member of several professional engineering associations, including AIChE, ASEE, the American Chemical Society and the Accreditation Board for Engineering Technology, for which he is a chemical engineering program evaluator. Slater has published a number of articles in such journals as Journal of Green Chemistry, Separation Science and Technology, and CEE. He has given presentations at more than 150 conferences, most recently at the November 2010 AIChE meeting in Salt Lake City.
Slater's research interests include membrane process and development, mass transfer analysis and modeling of membrane processes, application of advanced separation processes to green engineering design, sustainable manufacturing, and biochemical and pharmaceutical engineering purification processes.
“It is an honor to serve as chair of the publications board of the journal Chemical Engineering Education,” Slater said. “I hope that the journal can continue to have a positive impact on the way chemical engineering is taught for years to come.”
