Charles T. Kresge

Charles T. Kresge (born March 9, 1954 ) is an American chemist ( petrochemistry , catalysis , solid-state chemistry ).

Charles Kresge studied at Swarthmore College with a Bachelor Accounts 1975 and was in 1979 Ralph Pearson at the University of California in Santa Barbara with the work Equilibrium and Kinetic Studies of the protonation and deprotonation of Some Transition Metal Complexes doctorate . He then went into industry researching catalysts for Mobil Oil in Paulsboro , New Jersey (interrupted by a time at WR Grace from 1985 to 1987). From 1993 he headed the Catalysis Research Department there. From 1999 he was Head of Catalysis Research at Dow Chemical , where he became Vice President for Research and Development. In 2013 he became Chief Technology Officer of Saudi Aramco .

Kresge is known for developing some mesoporous materials , including the MCM-41 (MCM stands for Mobil Composition of Matter) developed by Mobil Oil in 1991 . They serve as molecular sieves, for example in catalysts and for absorption in wastewater treatment. The publications about it are among the most cited chemical works of all.

He holds over 100 patents and is a member of the National Academy of Engineering (2007). In 1994 he received the Donald W. Breck Award and in 2008 the Thomas Alva Edison Patent Award. He is one of the Thomson Reuters Citation Laureates .
