Dilip Paul

Dilip Paul serves as a University Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Pittsburg State University, where his research bridges fundamental surface science with industrial applications in catalysis and corrosion prevention.

His academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. from Auburn University, Alabama, U.S.A.
• M.S. from Dhaka University, Dhaka, Bangladesh
• B.S. Honours from Dhaka University, Dhaka, Bangladesh

Dr. Paul specializes in mechanistic surface chemistry with emphasis on heterogeneous catalytic systems and corrosion processes. His experimental approach integrates reflection/transmission infrared spectroscopy, quadrupole mass spectroscopy, and GC/MS to characterize surface intermediates at molecular levels. Current investigations focus on hydrocarbon conversion pathways, catalytic converter chemistry for automotive exhaust treatment, and metal corrosion inhibition strategies—addressing both environmental and industrial challenges through surface science.

Analysis of his 1998-2000 publications reveals consistent methodological rigor in studying rhodium and palladium catalysts on alumina supports, particularly examining NO adsorption dynamics and CO/NH3 reaction mechanisms relevant to emission control systems. His work demonstrates how spectroscopic techniques elucidate surface species formation and catalyst deactivation pathways in automotive applications.
