Gregory Patience holds a Canada Research Chair in high-temperature, high-pressure heterogeneous catalysis and is a professor of Chemical Engineering at Polytechnique Montreal. He has published two books: Experimental Methods and Instrumentation for Chemical Engineers and Communicate Science Papers, Presentations and Poster. He has effectively filed 14 patents and published 160 scientific articles. Together with process development, his research focuses on (1) studying catalysis and gas−solid fluidization applied to biodiesel from waste fat and oils, (2) producing carboxylic acid from glucose, xylose, and lignin, (3) converting waste natural gas to Fischer−Tropsch fuels, (4) deriving value-added chemicals from glycerol, and (5) synthesizing carbon-coated LiFePO4 for batteries. Prof. Patience started his career at DuPont in 1990 after completing his Ph.D. at Polytechnique Montreal. He helped develop a fluidized bed catalyst in Delaware and joined the commercial team in 1996 in Asturias, Spain. In 2000, he moved to Lycra and managed the Fibers Technology Laboratory in Geneva and was the Technology lead for new business development.
