Dr. Robert J. Farrauto

Dr. Farrauto has a long and distinguished record in industrial catalysis research. Among his important contributions is the development of catalysts that abate engine emissions, particularly diesel engines. He has contributed to many other successful commercial developments, including:

  • Zeolite additives to trap hydrocarbon emissions during cold start, which allowed technology to be developed for heavy-duty diesel engines to be used for diesel passenger cars
  • Fast light-off ammonia oxidation catalysts for the production of nitric acid
  • Catalyzed monoliths
    • ...Read more

Dr. Jeffrey Fitts

Dr. Jeff Fitts is a Research Scholar, in the Civil and Environmental Engineering department at Princeton University. His research combines numerical, experimental, and material structure probes to study chemical reactions at interfaces that drive the evolution of environmental systems. The aim is to advance the Geochemical Science and Engineering needed to develop increasingly robust quantitative projections of the human health, environmental and climatic costs of energy technologies. Synchrotron-based x-ray probes are often applied to study dissolution, precipitation and contaminant...Read more
