Professor Lisa D. Pfefferle was appointed to the C. Baldwin Sawyer Chair of Engineering at Yale University in 2009[1]. She joined Yale as an assistant professor in 1983, going on to become the first female full professor in engineering in 1997, and the first women to chair the Department of Chemical Engineering in 1999 (1999-2003). Pfefferle is a noted expert in the areas of combustion kinetics and chemical reaction engineering[2].
Pfefferle's research focuses on catalytically stabilized hydrocarbon fuels and the analysis of the hydrocarbon chemistry in flames[2]. Her other interests include soot formation mechanisms[3], incineration of toxic wastes, laser-based diagnostics for chemically reacting flow systems and the synthesis of aligned carbon nanotubes[1]. In 2009 Pfefferle was funded by the National Science Foundation of the USA to carry out research to design more efficient and cost-efficient solar cells.
