The Northwestern University Center for Catalysis and Surface
Science is pleased to announce that Dr. Enrique Iglesia, Professor of
Chemical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley will serve as
the V. N. Ipatieff Lecturer for 2005.

The V. N. Ipatieff Lectureship was established in 1988 to enhance the
educational experience of graduate students and postdoctoral researchers by

internationally distinguished researchers in catalysis. The lectureship is
named after Professor Vladimir N. Ipatieff, the father of high-pressure
heterogeneous catalysis and the founder of the Ipatieff High Pressure
Laboratory at Northwestern University. Previous V. N. Ipatieff lecturers

Parshall, Prof. Gary Haller, Prof. Makoto Misono, Prof. Roel Prins, Prof.
Lanny D. Schmidt, Prof. Avelino Corma, and Sir John M. Thomas.

Professor Iglesia is Editor-In-Chief of the Journal of Catalysis, Director
of the Berkeley Catalysis Center, and among numerous awards, he is the
recipient of the 2005 George A. Olah Award in Hydrocarbon Chemistry of the
American Chemical Society.

In addition to travel and living expenses associated with his visit,
Professor Iglesia will receive an honorarium.
