As of 2015 Moshe Sheintuch is a Professor Emeritus at the Dept. of Chemical Engineering at the Technion- Israel Institute of Technology, Israel. He was a chair professor at the Dept. of Chemical Engineering, Technion, with a secondary appointment in the Dept. of Civil and Environmental Eng. He received his B.Sc. from the Technion and his PhD from the University of Illinois (1977). He published more than 250 papers on topics of Chemical and Catalytic Reaction Engineering, mainly on catalytic reactor stability and dynamics, reactor design, catalytic kinetics, rate predictions from first principles, membrane reactors and hydrogen production. At Technion, Sheintuch has held administrative positions as Deputy Senior Vice President and Chairman of the department. At GT he served as Dean of Engineering and Head of ChE program (2015-2018). He is a member of the European Working Party on Chemical Reaction Engineering and of the Asia-Pacific Working Party on CRE. He was a Visiting Prof in University of Houston, Princeton University and University di Roma.
