Daniel E. Resasco is a Professor and the Gallogly Chair in Engineering at The University of Oklahoma's College of Engineering, Department of Chemical Engineering. He holds the George Lynn Cross Professorship, one of the university's highest academic honors. His research focuses on heterogeneous catalysis, nanotechnology, and biomass conversion. Resasco earned his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Yale University in 1984 and a B.S. from Universidad Nacional del Sur in Argentina (1975).
Resasco has authored over 330 publications and 40 patents, with an h-index of 95. He is a Fellow of AIChE and the National Academy of Inventors, and has received prestigious awards such as the American Chemical Society's Catalysis Division Award and the Catalysis Club of Philadelphia Award. His work emphasizes understanding catalyst structure-performance relationships through advanced characterization techniques like X-ray absorption, electron microscopy, and in situ spectroscopy.
Key research areas include catalyst design for fuel upgrading, carbon nanotube synthesis (via the CoMoCAT process), and biomass conversion. He leads collaborative efforts with theorists to develop atomistic reaction models. Resasco serves as Editor of Catalysis Reviews and has held editorial roles with Journal of Catalysis and others. He founded SouthWest Nanotechnology and pioneered nanotube production technologies.
His grants and industrial partnerships focus on sustainable energy and catalytic processes. Resasco has mentored numerous students and postdocs, contributing to the training of future chemical engineers. He chairs the Catalysis Division of the American Chemical Society and is a member of Argentina's National Academy of Sciences.
