James F. Gilchrist is the Ruth H. and Sam Madrid Professor of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at Lehigh University. His research investigates fundamental phenomena in particulate systems across colloidal and granular scales, focusing on suspension rheology, convective deposition, particle mixing/segregation, and self-organization. Applications include advanced coating processes for optoelectronics (LEDs, solar cells), microfluidic devices, and functional materials. Gilchrist develops novel experimental and computational methods to study far-from-equilibrium particulate processes exhibiting complexity and self-organization.
He earned his Ph.D. from Northwestern University and B.S. from Washington University in St. Louis. Honors include the PSRI Fluidization Award (2024), North American Mixing Forum Young Faculty Award (2007), and visiting professorships at Caltech and UNSW. His Laboratory for Particle Mixing and Self-Organization explores systems ranging from nanoparticle assembly to industrial-scale powder processing.
