Joseph Reynolds, Professor

B.A., The Catholic University of America

Ph.D., Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

JOSEPH REYNOLDS received a B.A. degree in chemistry from Catholic University in 1957 and a Ph.D. degree in chemical engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1964. Since that time, he has been a member of the chemical engineering faculty at Manhattan College where he presently holds the rank of Professor. He was Chairman of the Chemical Engineering Department from 1976 to 1983.

Among the courses Dr. Reynolds has taught are: Mass and Energy Balances, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, Computer-Aided Design and Simulation in Chemical Engineering, Physical Chemistry, and Materials Science/Engineering. He has several times been the recipient of the "Outstanding Teacher" award, an award given by the College's Tau Beta Pi honor society. As part of his academic duties, he has served for many years as moderator of the student chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, and has been President of the College's Sigma Xi Chapter. Off-campus, he has developed and taught courses in hazardous waste incinerator calculations (computer) for EPA's Air Pollution Training Institute.

Dr. Reynolds' current research interests are in the air pollution control and hazardous waste incineration areas. He has co-authored text/reference books on hazardous waste incineration (Introduction To Hazardous Waste Incineration, 2nd edition, Wiley, NY, 2000) and accident and emergency management (Accident and Emergency Management, Wiley, NY, 1989) and has developed computer software (which is available commercially and currently used in EPA's training program) to simulate hazardous waste incinerator performance. He has served as a consultant for several private companies and is presently a consultant/expert witness for the Department of Justice and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. He is listed in American Men and Women in Science, Who's Who in Technology Today, Who's Who Among America's Teachers, International Who's Who in Engineering, Who's Who in the East, and Who's Who in Engineering.

His wife, Barbara, recently retired from Fordham Preparatory School in New York after 22 years of teaching at FP (35 years total high school teaching). He has two daughters, both with bachelors degrees in Chemical Engineering from Manhattan.  Megan has a Masters in International Management and works for Merck in New Jersey.  Marybeth has a Masters in Public Policy and works for CancerCare in New York City.  His favorite recreational activities include skiing and jogging.

Professional Interests:

Software development for hazardous waste incineration calculations; air pollution control equipment design; heat exchanger and economizer computer aided design.
