People J. Thomas Lindt
Emeritus Professor Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering EducationPhD University of Delft, 1971 Professional InterestsDr. Lindt joined the department in September, 1996. Previously he was a member of the Materials Science and Engineering department at the University of Pittsburgh. He began his tenure at the University of Pittsburgh in 1978 as an associate professor, and was promoted to professor in 1985. He was an assistant professor at the University of Delft in 1971 and a research scientist at Royal Dutch Shell from 1972-77. Dr. Lindt is internationally recognized as a leader in mathematical modeling of polymer processing operations and supervises research programs associated with polymer processing. His research interests include reactive processing of polymers, isolation of polymers from dilute solutions and emulsions, formation of polymeric composites containing oriented graphitic particles/fibers, and morphology development in polymer blends. In September 1991 Dr. Lindt was appointed as William Kepler Whiteford Professor. His past awards include the 1987 Fellowship of CNRS (France) and the 1988 Polymer Engineering Lectureship Award from the University of Akron.
