The chemical engineering department continues to grow with the two newest additions to its faculty, Dr. James Silas and Dr. Thomas Wood.
Silas will join the department this summer as an assistant professor. He received his Ph.D. in chemical engineering at the University of Delaware under the direction of Professor Eric Kaler, and then went on to complete post-doctoral research at the University of Pennsylvania. Professor Wood, who will arrive in the fall, comes from a faculty position at the University of Connecticut.
Department Head Dr. Kenneth Hall remarked, “We are extremely pleased that Drs. Silas and Wood have agreed to join our department. I am confident that they will be fantastic additions to our faculty”.
