Umit S. Ozkan is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Ohio State University. Her research interests include heterogeneous catalysis and its applications to energy and environmental protection. She has edited five books, written over 150 refereed publications and has five patents.She served as the Co-chair of the Continuing Symposia in Catalysis for the Colloids and Surface Chemistry Division (1994-2000), Secretary of the Petroleum Chemistry Division (1998-99), and as President of the Petroleum Chemistry Division (2002-03) of the ACS. She is currently the Secretary of the North American Catalysis Society and a Director of the Catalysis and Reaction Engineering Division of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. Professor Ozkan is also on the Editorial Board of Journal of Molecular Catalysis, Catalysis Letters, Topics in Catalysis, The Royal Society of Chemistry Catalysis Book Series and Catalysis Today.

"The book is composed of a nice selection of chapters written by authorities within their respective discipline. This book should find a home on the bookshelf of chemical engineers, chemists, and materials scientists, especially those whose focus is on the synthesis of catalytic materials." (Book News, August 2009) "The results live up to the high expectations." (ChemCatChem, 2009)
