Dr. Carl Lund
Carl Lund was born in
Philadelphia, grew up near Norristown, PA and moved
to Muncy, PA, where, in
1972, he graduated from Muncy High School. He
continued his education at Purdue University (Boiler Up!)
where he earned a B.S. in Chemical Engineering in 1976. After a summer's work
experience at Mobil in Paulsboro, NJ, he started graduate school in Chemical Engineering at the University of
Wisconsin (On
Wisconsin!). With Jim
Dumesic's guidance, he specialized in heterogeneous catalysis,
earning a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering in 1981. Upon graduation he accepted a
position at the Exxon Corporate Research Labs, and worked there for five
years. In 1986 Dr. Lund moved to Buffalo,
NY, and ever since he has worked at U.B., known to most outsiders as SUNY-Buffalo (Horns Up!). He is now a SUNY
Distinguished Teaching Professor in Chemical and Biological Engineering
and the chair of the newly formed
Department of Engineering Education.
