Catalysis Society of Metropolitan New York
A local chapter of the North American Catalysis Society (NACS)
We are excited to announce the return of in-person meetings!
Prof. Xianqin Wang
Wednesday, November 15, 2023
Watt Hotel Rahway
1403 Irving St., Rahway, NJ 07065
Dr. Xianqin Wang is currently a professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). She obtained her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Virginia Tech. She worked as a research associator at the Brookhaven National Lab and as a scientist at the Pacific Northwest National Lab (PNNL) for a couple of years before she joined NJIT in 2007. Her research efforts focus on two major categories: developing novel catalytic materials for sustainable energy production and environmental protection, and investigating the structure and reactivity of catalytic systems under operation conditions including high pressure and temperature. She has published over 100 refereed papers and book chapters in both national and international journals and presented over ~150 conference and seminar talks. Xianqin has been a tireless contributor to our scientific community including catalysis society. Since 2010, she has organized and chaired 27 symposia in the ACS national meetings. She served a co-program-chair of the ENFL program in 2015 and the program chair for the ENFL division in 2016. She was Guest Editor for two special issues based on ACS ENFL symposia she organized and chaired and is serving on editorial board for Energy Science & Engineering, Nature Scientific Report, and Engineered Science journals.
Join us for a social hour (cash bar) at 6:00 pm, followed by dinner at 6:45 pm, and speaker presentation at 7:30 pm!
Please RSVP for the upcoming meeting here.
In memoriam
John Byrne
John Byrne, a long serving director and treasurer for the NYCS, sadly passed away on August 10, 2022. John’s wife, Susan, suggested that because of John’s dedication and love for NYCS, that it would be fitting that if friends and colleagues wanted to make a donation in John’s name, one favorite cause of John’s would be to support the NYCS work.
Who we are
The Catalysis Society of Metropolitan New York (CSNY) is a non-profit organization founded in 1958 to promote and encourage the growth and development of the science of catalysis in the New Jersey and Metro New York areas. CSNY is a local chapter of the North American Catalysis Society (NACS).
We organize 7 monthly professional dinner seminar meetings of scientists - to report, discuss, and exchange information and viewpoints in the field of catalysis. We also organize an all-day Annual Symposium in the spring which features lectures from distinguished researchers and a poster session presented by university students working in the catalysis area.
