Following Forest Hills High School in New York City, I attended Cornell University for a five-year program leading to a Bachelor of Chemical Engineering degree. After spending one year at the University of Rochester to obtain a Master of Science in Chemical Engineering, I came to Princeton University in 1951. Four years later, with a fresh PhD, I joined the faculty at the University of California, Berkeley, where I remained, interrupted only by sabbatical leaves in Switzerland, Germany, England, New Zealand, and Australia. Most of my professional work has been in applied chemical thermodynamics for process design, in particular, development of molecular-thermodynamic models for calculating phase equilibria for large-scale separation operations. I have also worked on the properties of electrolytes and hydrates, critical phenomena in fluid mixtures, properties of polymers and gels, adsorption of fluid mixtures, and separation of biomolecules. For many years I was a consultant for Air Projects and Chemicals and for the Fluor Corporation. Throughout my long teaching career, I have stressed the importance of context and of integrating science and engineering with humanities and with the needs of society. Such integration makes better engineers and contributes to personal happiness.

GlücklicheReise。

在纽约市森林山高中毕业后，我进入了康奈尔大学学习了五年制课程，获得了化学工程学士学位。在罗彻斯特大学度过了一年的化学工程硕士学位之后，我于1951年进入普林斯顿大学。四年后，以新的博士学位，我加入了加州大学伯克利分校的教职仍然存在，仅在瑞士，德国，英国，新西兰和澳大利亚被休假假打断。我的大部分专业工作是为过程设计应用化学热力学，特别是开发用于计算大规模分离操作的相平衡的分子热力学模型。我还研究了电解质和水合物的性质，流体混合物中的临界现象，聚合物和凝胶的特性，液体混合物的吸附以及生物分子的分离。多年以来，我一直担任航空项目和化学制品以及福陆公司的顾问。在我的长期教学生涯中，我一直强调环境的重要性以及将科学与工程与人文和社会需求相结合的重要性。这种整合使更好的工程师成为了个人的幸福。
