Draft:Lisa D. Pfefferle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Professor Lisa D. Pfefferle was appointed the C. Baldwin Sawyer[1] Chair of Engineering at Yale University in 2009[2]. She joined Yale as an assistant professor in 1983, going on to become the first female full professor in engineering in 1997, and the first women chair in engineering, when she chaired the Department of Chemical Engineering from 1999 to 2003.

Pfefferle's research has been in the general areas of combustion kinetics and chemical reaction engineering with collaborations taking her into other areas[3]. Her primary research has focused on catalytically stabilized hydrocarbon fuels and the analysis of the hydrocarbon chemistry in flames[3]. Other interests include soot formation mechanisms[4], the incineration of toxic wastes, laser-based diagnostics for chemically reacting flow systems and the synthesis of aligned carbon nanotubes including their relevance for the development of novel cancer immunotherapies[5][2][6]. In 2009 Pfefferle was funded by the National Science Foundation of the USA to carry out research to design more efficient and cost-efficient solar cells.
