Biography

Rajinder Pal is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. He received the B.Tech degree (1981) in Chemical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India, and a PhD degree (1987) in Chemical Engineering from the University of Waterloo. The author of more than 120 refereed journal publications and a book in the areas of rheological, mechanical, electromagnetic, and transport properties of dispersed systems (emulsions, suspensions, foams, particulate composites, and composite membranes), Dr. Pal is a fellow of the Chemical Institute of Canada. In recognition of his distinguished contributions in chemical engineering before the age of 40, he received the Syncrude Canada Innovation Award in 1998 from the Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering. In 2001, he received the Teaching Excellence Award of the Faculty of Engineering, University of Waterloo. Dr. Pal served as Associate Editor of the Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering from 1992 to 2004. He is a registered Professional Engineer in the province of Ontario, Canada.
