Biography

Glen Fryxell is a member of the Materials Chemistry and Surface Research Group within the Energy and Efficiency Division of EED, and has been a member of Materials since 1990. For the last 15 years, his research has focused on organic synthesis, surface chemistry, silane chemistry and the interfacial elaboration of self-assembled monolayers. He is a co-inventor of self-assembled monolayers on mesoporous supports (SAMMS) and has developed these materials for a wide variety of environmental applications, such as the sequestration of toxic heavy metals, radionuclides and oxometallate anions. Dr. Fryxell is named as inventor in 11 patents, and has over 100 publications and 60 invited presentations. His Ph. D. was awarded in 1986 from the University of North Carolina, where he worked with Prof. Paul J. Kropp studying the photochemistry of phenylthio ethers. A two-year postdoctoral appointment with Prof. Albert Padwa at Emory University was dedicated to the study of intramolecular dipolar cycloaddition and heterocyclic synthesis.

Education and Credentials

  • B. Sc, University of Texas, 1982
  • Ph. D., University of North Carolina, 1986

Awards and Recognitions

  • Fryxell's work has been recognized in part with an R&D 100 Award for SAMMS (1998), an Environmental Business Journal Technology Merit Award (2005), Key Contributor Awards in 2000, 2001 and 2002, multiple Outstanding Performance Awards, and the Director's Award for Excellence (1994). The 1997 Science paper describing SAMMS was the first report of the chemical modification of mesoporous materials using self-assembled monolayers, and has been cited over 500 times since publication. His work has been reported in front line journals such as Science, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Langmuir, Chemistry of Materials, and Environmental Science & Technology; as well as being highlighted in Chemical and Engineering News, Popular Science, Business Week, Discover Magazine, Environmental Health Perspectives, and Scientific American.
