Jeffrey Allen Reimer is an American chemist, academic, author and researcher. He is the C. Judson King Endowed Professor, a Warren and Katharine Schlinger Distinguished Professor and the chair of the chemical and biomolecular engineering department at University of California, Berkeley.[1]
Reimer has authored over 300 publications, has been cited over 30,000 times, and has a Google Scholar H-index of 80. His research is primarily focused to generate new knowledge to deliver environmental protection, sustainability, and fundamental insights via materials chemistry, physics, and engineering. He is a recipient of the Humboldt Prize. He is the author of two books entitled, Chemical Engineering Design and Analysis: An Introduction, and Introduction to Carbon Capture and Sequestration.[2]
Reimer is a fellow of American Association for the Advancement of Science,[3] American Physical Society, and International Society of Magnetic Resonance,[4] and a member of American Chemical Society and American Institute of Chemical Engineers,[5]
Reimer was born in Van Nuys, California. After graduating from Taft High School in 1972, he took a summer job at Universal Studies Tours, where he was a custodian, then returning to Universal Studios Amphitheater for the summer of 1973. He then received his bachelor's degree in chemistry from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1976, and a doctorate in chemistry from California Institute of Technology in 1981.[1]
Career
Following his doctorate, Reimer served as postdoctoral fellow at IBM T.J. Watson Research Laboratories, before joining University of California at Berkeley as assistant and associate professor in 1982. He was then promoted to professor at University of California at Berkeley in 1994. Since 1984, he has also served as faculty scientist at Ernest O. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and in 2006, he held a brief appointment at RWTH Aachen University as Mercator Professor of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.[1]
Reimer was appointed on the executive board of Council for Chemical Research in 2012, and became a trustee of Franklin University Switzerland in 2014.[1]
