I review my career from its academic beginning to my recent retirement. I grew up and studied chemical engineering in New York City. My initial failure to understand thermodynamics the way it had been taught, evidenced by the difficulty I had when starting graduate school, led me years later to write a textbook on the subject that is now in a fifth edition, in addition to other books I have written. My research areas have included molecular simulation, statistical- and quantum mechanical-based methods, and a variety of experimental thermodynamic measurements. In addition, I have been a consultant in traditional chemical engineering areas, as well in nontraditional areas, such as assisting in the design of a heat shield for interplanetary exploration, the destruction of armed chemical weapons, and the cleanup of nuclear weapons production facilities. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Volume 12 is June 2021.

斯坦利·桑德勒（Stanley I. Sandler）的自传。

从职业生涯开始到我最近退休，我都会回顾自己的职业生涯。我从小在纽约市学习化学工程。我最初对热力学的理解不够，这是我开始读研究生时遇到的困难证明的。这导致我几年后写了一本关于该主题的教科书，现在已经是第五版了，除了我所拥有的其他书籍之外，书面。我的研究领域包括分子模拟，基于统计和量子力学的方法以及各种实验热力学测量。此外，我还是传统化学工程领域和非传统领域的顾问，例如协助设计行星际探索用隔热罩，销毁武装化学武器，以及清理核武器生产设施。《化学和生物分子工程年度评论》第12卷的最终最终在线发布日期为2021年6月。有关修订的估算，请参见http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates。
