Lisa Diane Pfefferle is the C. Baldwin Sawyer Chair of Engineering at Yale University. She is known for her research on combustion and chemical reactions.
Early life and education
[edit | edit source]Pfefferle grew up in Middleton where she helped found a club studying pollution.[1] She was an undergraduate at Princeton University,[2] and earned her Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1984.[3]
Career
[edit | edit source]Pfefferle started at Yale University as an assistant professor in 1983. In 1997 she was promoted to full professor thereby becoming the first female full professor in engineering at Yale University. Pfeffrle was appointed the C. Baldwin Sawyer Chair of Engineering at Yale University in 2009.[2]
Research
[edit | edit source]Pfefferle's primary research spans the general areas of combustion kinetics and chemical reaction engineering. This research has focused on catalytically stabilized hydrocarbon fuels and the analysis of the hydrocarbon chemistry in flames.[4] She has studied the mechanisms of soot formation.[5] Her collaborative research includes the incineration of toxic wastes,[citation needed] laser-based diagnostics for chemically reacting flow systems,[citation needed] and the synthesis of aligned carbon nanotubes including their relevance for the development of novel cancer immunotherapies.[6][7]
Honors and awards
[edit | edit source]In 1987 Pfefferle received a Presidential Young Investigator Award.[8] Pfefferle was elected to the Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering in 2010,[9] and the Connecticut Technology Council honored Pferfferle in 2011.[10]
