About our authors

Christie John Geankoplis was a Professor of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Minnesota. His research interests involved transport processes, biochemical reactor engineering, mass transfer in liquid solutions, and diffusion and/or reaction in porous solids.

Allen Hersel is Associate Dean of Engineering at Trine University in Angola, Indiana. He also serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering, where he has taught transport phenomena and separations for the last 19 years. His area of research is bio-separations and engineering education. Before entering academia, he worked for Koch Industries and Kellogg Brown & Root. He holds a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Yale University.

Daniel H. Lepek is Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering at The Cooper Union. His research interests include particle technology, fluidization and multi-phase flow, pharmaceutical engineering, modeling of transport and bio-transport phenomena, and engineering education. He is an active member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), and the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE). He received a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Chemical Engineering from The Cooper Union and received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT).
