Why Is Thomas Kilgore Sherwood Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Thomas Kilgore Sherwood was a noted American chemical engineer and a founding member of the National Academy of Engineering. Biography Sherwood was born in Columbus, Ohio, and spent much of his youth in Montreal. In 1923 he received his B.S. from McGill University, and entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for his Ph.D. His dissertation, "The Mechanism of the Drying of Solids," was completed in 1929, a year after he had become assistant professor at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. In 1930 he returned to MIT as assistant professor where he remained until his retirement, serving as associate professor , professor , and dean of engineering . In 1969 he retired from MIT to become professor of chemical engineering at the University of California, Berkeley.
