Prof. Thomas C. Ho is currently the Chair of Dan F. Smith Department of Chemical Engineering at Lamar University. He is a Regents’ Professor and holds the Aldredge Endowed Chair position in the College of Engineering at Lamar University. Hecurrently also serves as the Director of the Gulf Coast Hazardous Substance Research Center, the Texas Hazardous Substance Research Center, and the Texas Air Research Center, all headquartered at Lamar University. He received his BS ChE degree from National Taiwan University in 1973, and both MS ChE and PhD ChE degrees from Kansas State University in 1978 and 1982, respectively. His PhD dissertation was entitled “Pressure Fluidizations in a Gas-Solid Fluidized Bed.” He joined Lamar University in 1982 as an Assistant Professor and has been with the University for almost 30 years. His research areas have been including fluidization, coal combustion, waste incineration, and metal emission control with recently focused more in air emission control, air quality modeling, and the development of microwave technologies for nanomaterial production and environmental applications. He has published over 100journalpapers and conducted more than 200 conference presentations. He served as guest editors of fluidization and incineration special issues for Powder Technology and Waste Management for more than 15 years.
