About Fabio Ribeiro
Fabio H. Ribeiro is the W. Nicholas and Elizabeth H. Delgass Distinguished Professor in Chemical Engineering, Director of the National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center on Innovative and Strategic Transformation of Alkane Resources (CISTAR), and Executive Director of the Institute for Energy Innovation (IEI) at the Charles D. Davidson School of Chemical Engineering, Purdue University. CISTAR is a nationwide collaboration involving five universities and 32 industry partners, focusing on transformative innovations in catalysis, separations, and process enhancements to responsibly harness U.S. shale gas potential and reduce carbon footprints. The Institute for Energy Innovation (IEI) is Purdue’s university-wide hub for advancing abundant, resilient energy by accelerating technology translation and modernizing energy education through academic–industry collaboration. IEI spans Energy Systems and Infrastructure, Energy Storage and Conversion, and Enabling Materials and Supply Chains. Ribeiro\'s research, with over 165 scholarly publications, is distinguished by his expertise in chemical reaction kinetics and in situ and operando characterization tools. His current work addresses the pressing challenge of energy supply, leveraging his findings with the collaborative efforts of CISTAR and IEI teams.Ribeiro has served as the editor for the Journal of Catalysis and chaired AIChE’s Catalysis and Reaction Engineering Division. He is a fellow of AIChE, the Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy at Purdue, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. His achievements have been noted with many honors, most recently the 2023 Exceptional Achievement Award from the ACS Division of Catalysis Science and Technology, the 2024 Ambassadeurs@INC, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) Chimie, France, and the 2024 American Institute of Chemical Engineers’ R. H. Wilhelm Award in Chemical Reaction Engineering.
