Robert L. Augustine received his Ph.D. in 1957 from Columbia University. He then spent four years on the staff of the chemistry department of the University of Texas, Austin. He joined the faculty at Seton Hall University in 1961. In 1969 he was promoted to Professor of Chemistry. His first book on Catalytic Hydrogenation was published in 1965. His most recent book, "Heterogeneous Catalysis for the Synthetic Chemist" was published in 1995. He has supervised research which has led to the writing of thirty eight doctoral dissertations and ten masters thesis and the publication of almost 100 research articles, ten books, nine patents and several chapters in the areas of organic synthesis, catalytic hydrogenation, the utilization of catalytic reactions in synthesis and the use of dispersed metals as catalysts for reactions other than hydrogenations. In 1990 he received the Paul N. Rylander award from the Organic Reactions Catalysis Society for outstanding achievements in the use of catalysis in organic synthesis.
