Here is a (much) more
recent photo... Here is a photo from the Second
Carbon Conference, held at SUNY-Buffalo in 1955 (courtesy of Philip Walker,
Jr.). We are now in the second half-century of such conferences. See the web
site of the American Carbon
Society for more information.
Here we are
making available to the worldwide carbon research community ALL the papers of Prof. Philip L. Walker,
Jr.

- Transport Phenomena
- The Science of Activated Carbon
These are my research interests:
- kinetics, catalysis and molecular modeling of carbon reactions
- physical, chemical and electrochemical (surface) properties of carbon materials (e.g., catalysts, electrocatalysts, catalyst supports, adsorbents, fibers, composites)
- air and water pollution control using carbonaceous adsorbents and reactants
- gas/solid reactions and heterogeneous catalysis
- coal gasification
- methodology of teaching energy and environmental issues to nontechnical students/general public
