Rooke Professorship in Engineering at Bucknell .  He was honoured by the Institution of Chemical Engineers with the Hutch ison Medal in 2009\, Bucknell University’s Lindback Award for Distinguishe d Teaching in 2008\, and in 2004 received the American Society of Engineer ing Education’s Mid-Atlantic Section Outstanding Teaching Award.\nTo regis ter please click here.\nLocation to be determined.
