Professional Background:

Gill began his teaching career in 1960 in the chemical engineering and metallurgy department at Syracuse University. After five years, he became a professor and the chairman of the chemical engineering department at Clarkson College of Technology. In 1971, he joined the State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo as dean, provost, and professor of engineering and applied sciences. In 1977 and 1978, he was a Fulbright Senior Research Scholar at University College London. Gill then spent the next nine years as a professor in the chemical engineering department of SUNY at Buffalo. He concurrently served from 1980 to 1982 as the Glenn Murphy Distinguished Professor of Engineering at Iowa State University. Gill then spent another year abroad as a Fulbright Senior Research Scholar at the Universities of Queensland and New South Wales. In 1987, Gill joined the Rensselaer faculty as head of the chemical engineering department. Two years later, he was named the Russell Sage Professor of Chemical Engineering.

Gill has served as editor of Chemical Engineering Communications since 1979. He has published over 200 refereed articles and has served as a reviewer for numerous prestigious journals, including the Journal of Applied Physics, the Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology, and the Journal of The Electrochemical Society.

Awards:

In 1992, Gill was honored with the Lectureship Award from the Chemical Engineering Division of the American Society Engineering Education. He was cited for his "outstanding contributions to fundamental chemical engineering theory and practice." He also has given numerous invited lectures, including a plenary lecture at CHEMCON 2000 in Calcutta, India; the keynote lecture at the 1988 National Heat Transfer Conference, and the Barnett F. Dodge Lecture at Yale University in 1987.
