Biography:
Dr. Westmoreland is Program Director for Combustion, Fire, and Plasma Systems at NSF, on leave from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. In 2007 he led NSF's Engineering-focused Virtual Organization (EVO) solicitation to seed VO-organizing activities and is a co-author of the Cyber-enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI) solicitation. At UMass, his research focuses on reaction kinetics of combustion, biomass conversion, and polymers, obtained from experiments and computational chemistry. He is one of the world's authorities on molecular-beam mass spectrometry, used in his combustion research. His degrees are in chemical engineering from N.C. State (BS73), LSU (MS74), and MIT (PhD86). He serves on the Boards of Directors of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and the Combustion Institute, and he is a trustee and past president of the educational nonprofit CACHE Corporation.
