Dr. Keith Hutchenson is a Senior Research Fellow in DuPont Industrial Biosciences. Following B.S. and M.S. degrees in Chemical Engineering, he worked for 5 years with DuPont as a process engineer at the U.S. Department of Energy's Savannah River Plant Tritium Facility. He then returned to graduate school and received a Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering from Clemson University in the areas of supercritical fluid technology and phase equilibrium thermodynamics. He rejoined DuPont at the Experimental Station in Wilmington, DE in 1990 where he has been involved with various chemical process development efforts for a number of DuPont's business units. He is a co-inventor on 33 issued U.S. patents and their foreign equivalents and has published 25 external publications as well as numerous internal technical reports on topics related to chemical reaction engineering, catalysis, separation process development, phase equilibrium thermodynamics, and the application of supercritical fluid technology in chemical reaction and extraction applications. Keith is a licensed Professional Engineer and a member of the AIChE, ACS, the North American Catalysis Society, and the International Society for the Advancement of Supercritical Fluids. Keith has been active in the AIChE at both the local section and national levels in programming and various leadership positions. He has served as a Director (and former Chair) of the Catalysis and Reaction Engineering (CRE) division as well as a representative on the board of the AIChE Center for Energy Initiatives. He was also a co-organizer for the 10th International Symposium on Supercritical Fluids held in San Francisco in May 2012.
