 Johannes Schwank Professor of Chemical Engineering Department of Chemical Engineering University of Michigan Ann Arbor, Michigan Schwank(at)umich.edu +1 734-764-3374 Johannes Schwank is full professor of chemical engineering and director of the Transportation Energy Center. His main research interests are heterogeneous catalysis with special emphasis on advanced transportation energy concepts, fuel processing for fuel cells, automotive emission control catalysis, microelectronic thin film gas sensors, and advanced energy storage and photocatalytic materials. Schwank came to the US as a Fulbright-Hays scholar to conduct postdoctoral research in the area of catalysis with Professor Giuseppe Parravano. He joined the faculty at the University of Michigan in 1980. In 1987/88, he was on sabbatical leave at the University of Innsbruck and at the Technical University of Vienna, Austria and served as chairman of the Chemical Engineering Department from 1990 to 1995. He is the author of more than 150 publications, holds eight US patents, and has an international consulting practice. He also teaches courses on the science and engineering of fuel cells and fuel processors for industry, NASA, and other organizations. Schwank studied chemistry at the University of Innsbruck where, in 1978, he received a Ph.D. in physical chemistry. Contributions |
