Dr. Beata Kilos-Réaume
Chemical Science, Core Research & Development, Dow
Dr. Beata Kilos-Réaume is a Senior Research Scientist and Technical Leader in Chemical Science, Core R&D at Dow. Beata is recognized as a leader in heterogeneous catalysis in the scientific community. Beata serves as treasurer of the North American Catalysis Society, sits on the advisory boards of Reaction Chemistry & Engineering journal and the Journal of Catalysis, and is a first industrial editor for the ACS Catalysis journal. Beata began her Dow career in 2008. Since then she has worked on a wide array of projects with a focus on heterogeneous catalysis and materials science. Over the course of her career Beata has defined, led, and contributed to R&D projects spanning multiple Dow businesses including Industrial Solutions, Consumer Solutions, Construction Chemicals, Coating Materials, Hydrocarbons, Polyurethanes, Performance Silicones. Beata’s technical contributions and leadership have enabled the advancement of numerous R&D projects and technologies throughout her career at Dow. Beata’s past R&D work at Dow has included contributions toward the commercialization of UNIFINITYTM fluidized catalytic dehydrogenation process technology for on-purpose propylene, which has been recognized with an 2017 ICIS Best Process Innovation Award and an 2017 R&D 100 Award. In recognition of her scientific achievements, Beata was named a 2017 ACS Rising Star award recipient and 2018 ACS Early Career Fellow of the Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Division. She is also a recipient of a 2017 Dow Chemical Engaged for Impact Award and 2017 WIN champion award. Prior to joining Dow, Beata graduated from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, Poland with a M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Chemistry. As one of Europe’s few scholars selected for the prestigious Marie Curie Fellowship, Beata completed work toward the latter degree at the Institut de Recherches sur la Catalyse et l’Environnement de Lyon in Villeurbanne, France. Beata followed this with a joint appointment at the University of California, Berkeley’s Chemical Engineering Department, and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

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 March which features lectures from distinguished researchers and a poster session presented by university students working in the catalysis area.
