• Faculty Honored for Publications Faculty Honored for Publications Several faculty in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering have been recognized for their publications, many of which are topping the most accessed and highly-cited lists. In February 2006, the Journal of Physical Chemistry A & B announced that 24 papers published since 2000 have garnered more than 100 citations. Four of these articles were authored by faculty in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering: Joan F. Brennecke, the Keating-Crawford Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering; Prashant V. Kamat, professor of chemistry and biochemistry and concurrent professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering; and Edward J. Maginn, professor and director of graduate recruiting and admissions for the department. Brennecke had two papers in the list: “High-pressure Phase Behavior of Ionic Liquid/CO2 Systems” at No. 16 and “Solution Thermodynamics of Imidazolium-based Ionic Liquids and Water,” co-authored by Maginn, at No. 19. Professor Kamat’s “Photophysical, Photochemical, and Photocatalytic Aspects of Metal Nano-particles” was the fifth most cited article on the list. Professor Maginn’s “Solubilities and Thermodynamic Properties of Gases in the Ionic Liquid 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate,” co-authored by Brennecke, was No. 24.
