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. |
