Jeffery Bricker,senior director of research at Honeywell UOP, is the recipient of the 2017 Eugene J. Houdry Award in Applied Catalysis. Bricker’s achievements include the discovery of key reaction mechanisms in thiol oxidation chemistry in refinery fuels, which led to the commercialization of an oxidation catalyst that functions in the absence of caustic.
