About:Eser is a professor of energy and geo-environmental engineering. He began his career at Penn State in 1988. He received his B.S. and M.S. in chemical engineering from the Middle East Technical University in Turkey, and his Ph.D. in fuel science from Penn State. He previously worked as a research associate in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Auburn University. At Penn State, Eser began as an assistant professor of fuel science. He also served the Department of Energy and Geo-Environmental Engineering as an associate head and acting head. He served as the program chair and executive committee chair, and councilor of the Fuel Chemistry Division, and currently serves as councilor of the Energy and Fuels Division of the American Chemical Society (ACS). He became an ACS Fellow in 2014. Eser serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of ASTM International, the Journal of Oil, Gas, and Coal Technology, the Journal of New Carbon Materials, and as section editor of the Energy and Fuels in the Chemistry Central Journal. Eser was also awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to teach at Izmir Technology Institute in Turkey.Research Interests:• Structure and properties of solid carbons and carbon/carbon composites• Coking of petroleum fractions to make needle coke for graphite electrodes • Undesirable carbon deposition in engine fuel and lubrication systems and in process units • Preparation of activated carbons • Upgrading petroleum residua • Catalytic oxidation of solid carbons Memberships & Committees:Service to Penn State:Department of Energy and Mineral Engineering Associate Department Head, 2001- 2006 Acting Department Head, January 1 –August 15, 2004 Faculty Search Committee, Chair, 2008 Graduate Education and Research Committee, Chair, 2004-2005 Scholarships and Awards Committee, Chair, 2001-2006 Strategic Planning Committee, Chair, 2001-2002 College of Earth and Mineral Sciences Search Committee for the EGEE Department Head, 2004 Diversity Task Force, 2002 Environment Committee, Chair, 2002 Undergraduate Programs Advisory Committee (UPAC), 2001-2006 Scholarship Committee, 2001-2006 Energy Institute Coordinator, Carbon Materials Research, 2000 - present Laboratory for Hydrocarbon Process Chemistry, Director, 1998 – 2000; Associate Director, 1995 – 1998 Penn State University Schreyer Honors College Faculty Advisory Committee, 2005 - 2011 Graduate Council, Member, 2001-2002, 2002-2004 Committee on Graduate Students and Faculty Issues, 2001-2002 Fellowships and Awards Committee, 2002-2004 Graduate School Teaching Certificate Committee, 2003 Advisory Committee for International Partnerships and Academic Linkages, 2003 Teaching and Learning Consortium Chair, Faculty Team 2001- 2003 Co-chair, TLC Colloquy VIII, 2002 Chair, Proposal Review Committee, TLC Colloquy VIII, 2002 Search Committee for the Director of Science Technology and Society Program, 2002.
