caking, and milling. He has widely presented courses and seminars
and is the Director of the Industrial Crystallization Course for the
Center for Professional Advancement and is the teacher of the Industrial
Crystallization and Precipitation Course for the American Institute of
Chemical Engineers. He was the presenter of Chemical Engineering
Magazine's seminar, Crystallization and Precipitation.
He authored the chapter on Crystallization for the 3rd Edition of
McGraw-Hill's Handbook of Separation Techniques for Chemical Engineers.
He
authored the Chapter on Crystallization and was the Section Editor for the
Liquid-Solids Systems Section of the Eighth Edition of Perrys Chemical
Engineers Handbook. He has presented lectures for the CPhI and is a member of the
Steering Committee for the Association of Crystallization Technology
(ACT). He is a frequent lecturer at the ACT and AIChE meetings and
has written extensively for Chemical Engineering Magazine, Chemical
Processing Magazine, Chemical Engineering Progress, and Pristine
