Excerpt

Fred was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey in 1928. He attended Union Junior College from 1946 to 1948 and Newark College of Engineering from 1948 to 1950 (both in New Jersey) where he obtained his B.S. Ch.E. He then served in the US Army from 1950 to 1952, with subsequent employment with the US Army Chemical Corps. Fred was admitted to the Chemical Engineering Graduate Study Program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in 1954 and completed a M.S. Ch. E. in 1955 and his Ph.D. in June 1957 (Leavitt 1957). On his application for admission to graduate study at RPI, Fred indicated interests in “heterogeneous systems, especially those containing dispersions of small particles …. study of solid–liquid–vapor equilibria, heat and mass transfer mechanisms, reaction kinetics, and the motion of small particles in resisting media.” In the career that followed, Fred made significant contributions in all of these areas. …
