Calvin H. Bartholomew

Dr. Bartholomew has conducted research over the past 38 years in catalysis and combustion. He has been principal investigator or co-investigator on over 60 grants and contracts and has supervised more than 175 research students. He is the author or co-author of 5 books and 120 peer-reviewed papers and reviews with emphasis on catalyst design, catalyst deactivation, chemisorption, syngas production/conversion catalysis and selective catalytic reduction of NOx. He has also consulted with more than 40 different companies on problems related to catalysis and air pollution. In 1973 Dr. Bartholomew established the BYU Catalysis Laboratory which presently employs two faculty and 12-15 students in fundamental studies of heterogeneous catalysis and combustion. Together with L. Douglas Smoot and David W. Pershing he was active in the establishment and management of the Combustion Center (ACERC) at BYU and U. of Utah.
