   Alexis T. Bell received his Sc.D. degree from M.I.T. in Chemical Engineering in 1967. That same year he joined the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley in 1967, where he currently holds the title of Full Professor. From 1979-1981 he served as the Assistant Dean of the College of Chemistry, from 1981-1991 as the Chairman of the Department of Chemical Engineering, and from 1994-1999 as Dean of the College of Chemistry. Professor Bell is also a Faculty Senior Scientist in the E. O. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He is the Editor of Catalysis Reviews and Chemical Engineering Science, and he serves on the editorial board of a large number of other journals. He has also served on numerous committees of the American Chemical Society, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the Council for Chemical Research, and the National Research Council. The results of his research have been published in over 500 articles appearing in refereed journals. He has received many honors for his research contributions.

   Professor Bell is known for his research in the field of heterogeneous catalysis and is recognized as one of the leaders in applying in situ spectroscopic techniques in combination with isotopic tracer techniques to the study of catalyzed reactions. Of particular note have been his investigations of the mechanism of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, the synthesis of methanol, the selective catalytic reduction of NO, the oxidative dehydrogenation of alkanes, and the direct conversion of methane to oxygenates. This work has led to an identification of the elementary steps affecting catalyst activity and selectivity, and their relationship to catalyst structure. He has also been engaged in understanding the connections between catalyst synthesis and structure. His work has revealed the role of structure-directing organic cations on the synthesis of zeolites and the effects of synthesis conditions on the structure of supported metal oxides. He has been involved, as well, in the development and application of theoretical techniques for predicting the dynamics of surface reactions on metals, and the adsorption, diffusion, and reaction of molecules in zeolites. This work is providing a basis for understanding the relationships between catalyst structure and the dynamics of elementary processes at a fundamental level.
