Chemical Engineering

Biography

Dr. Gregory Yablonsky is an Associate Professor of the Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology at the Saint Louis University (St. Louis, Missouri, USA), Fellow of Academy of Sciences in St. Louis. Yablonsky’s research expertise includes heterogeneous catalysis, kinetics of complex chemical reactions, mathematical modeling of chemical reactors and technological processes, history and methodology of science. Gregory Yablonsky is a world recognized expert in the area of chemical kinetics and chemical engineering, in catalytic technology particularly, which is one of main driving forces of sustainable development. He has authored five monographs on catalysis and chemical kinetics and more than 200 peer-reviewed papers on these topics. In 2013 Yablonsky got a “Lifetime Achievement Award” in recognition of outstanding contributions to the research field of chemical kinetics”. In 2014, Yablonsky received the Sarton’s Award on history of chemical kinetics Yablonsky was granted by the honorary doctor degree from the University of Ghent (Belgium). Dr. Guy Marin, of Belgium, who presented Dr. Yablonsky during the ceremony, called Yablonsky a “scientific catalyst” and “an inexhaustible source of scientific curiosity, always pushing colleagues towards new challenges and insights.”
