 H. Scott Fogler MMPEI Faculty Fellow |
Professor - Chemical Engineering, College of Engineering
H. Scott Fogler, Ph.D., P.E. is the Ame & Catherine Vennema Professor of Chemical Engineering and The Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of the University of Michigan.
Professor Fogler has graduated 33 Ph.D. students from his research group and has published more than 190 research publications. He and his students are well-known for their work in porous media, which encompasses a number of fundamental chemical engineering areas, specifically; reaction engineering, colloids, separations, and multiphase flow. Research topics include: flow, reaction, and precipitation; kinetics of wax deposition; fused chemical reactions; gellation kinetics; asphaltene characterization and remediation; colloidal phenomena; and catalyzed dissolution of minerals.
In addition to funding by government agencies, an industrial affiliates program consisting of major oil companies has supported the research on flow and reaction in porous media for the past 21 years. A number of research results are now being used in industrial applications. Current research thrusts include the kinetics and thermodynamics of asphaltene precipitation, the deposition kinetics of wax deposition in subsea pipelines, the reaction kinetics of zeolite dissolution in the Gulf of Mexico.
