Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, NJ, Member of Technical Staff 1980-1982 Worked on early days of optical fibers. 1 patent on germanium recovery. Germanium is a very rare and expensive element. News of this patent was announced in the New York Times since it cut the cost of finished optical fiber cable by 10% at the time (1982). It has been worth hundreds of millions of dollars since. Amoco Chemical Company R&D, Naperville, IL merged into BP Amoco Chemical Company, 1998. From 1982-2017. Worked on all facets of R&D for paraxylene, including making molecular sieves and catalysts, catalyst characterization, reactor modeling, and process design and economics. Proficient in ASPEN process simulation software, HTRI heat exchanger design. Trained leader of HAZOP and LOPA safety procedures. Design team for BP pX unit at Geel, Belgium and the largest pX unit in the world licensed to Reliance Industries, Jamnagar, India. On initial commercial team visit to Reliance in 2007. Spent about 6 months in India training, transferring technology and starting up the unit. Performed C-14 tracer studies that elucidated the mechanism of ethyl transfer and removal from ethylbenzene, a co-boiling impurity in xylene isomerization feeds that guided the development of better xylene isom and TOL/A9+ transalkylation catalysts. J. A. Amelse, On the mechanism for ethyl transfer and removal from ethylbenzene during commercial xylene isomerization, Microporous and Mesoporous Materials 278 (2019) 275–279. This paper was written while at UA. Developed a unique experimental method to very accurately determine the equilibrium distribution of xylenes based on the intersection of the eigenvectors of the rate constant matrices of a non-selective large pore molecular sieve and a shape selective medium pore molecular sieve.

M., A Wei-Prater Kinetic Model for Xylene Isomerization Over the BP Amoco HSDE Catalyst, Paper 93a, AIChE 2004 Spring National Meeting, New Orleans, LA, April 25-29 (2003). Universidade de Aveiro (UA), Portugal. Currently Invited Associate Professor, 2017-present Began working with Dr. Luis Mafra on Solid State NMR and Dr. Stuarte Clarke and Dr. Alex Routh of Cambridge Univ. around 2010, on characterization of BP Amoco AMS-1B borosilicate molecular sieves and AMS-1B on alumina catalysts with a $500k grant from BP. That project generated 5 publications to date. After retirement from BP in 2017, invited to UA to continue collaborating with Dr. Mafra. Developed and taught a class on Refining and Petrochemicals and an ECIU micro module on Global Warming, Renewable Energy, and Decarbonization. Author or co-author of 25 publications or conference papers and 17 patents or patent applications.
