Cornelius F. Ivory earned his BS in chemical engineering at the University of Notre Dame in 1974 and his PhD at Princeton University in 1980, followed by a year as a USRA Visiting Scientist in the Bioseparations group at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. At Washington State University, his research group develops new separation technologies and protocols at the micro-, meso-, and macroscales and adapts these technologies to various platforms.
His group has done extensive modeling in chromatography, electrophoresis, biomass pyrolysis, and mass spectrometry, especially using COMSOL Multiphysics® for computer simulations of those models. Dr. Ivory has more than 100 refereed publications, 200 oral presentations at technical meetings, 10 patents awarded, and several more patent applications pending.
