Vladan presented the research he performed last summer on supercritical fluids in Dr. Baglin's laboratory. Vladan Jankovic, Matthew Johannson, and Michael Coleman studied the thermodynamics, kinetics, and design of a process to produce hydrogen for fuel-cell applications. Chemical Engineering seniors from the University of Nevada, Reno, won two awards at an international environmental engineering design competition held at New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM, April 12-15, 1999. This workshop was held at UNR on July 25, 2000. It was sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Chemical Engineering Division of the American Society for Engineering Education.

Over the years, GE has become a leader in the chemical industry, and this transformation has been chronicled in a recent book from the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. Linus Pauling was chosen by the American Chemical Society as the person who contributed the most to chemistry during the last century. After earning a B.S. in Chemical Engineering, he found himself very well prepared to enter graduate school in chemistry at Cal Tech. In fact, he completed his Ph.D. there in just two years. Among his many awards were two Nobel Prizes.
