Benny D. Freeman (born 29 April 1961 in Hendersonville, North Carolina) is a United States chemical engineering professor at The University of Texas at Austin.[1] He received his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from NC State University in 1983 and his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley in 1988.[2] Afterwards, during 1988–89, he served as a NATO Postdoctoral Fellow at the Ecole Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie Industrielles de la Ville de Paris in the Laboratoire Physico-Chimie Structurale et Macromoléculaire, Paris, France.[2] He then returned to his undergraduate Alma Mater, NC State, where he served on the chemical engineering faculty from 1989–2001.[citation needed] In 2001, he moved to The University of Texas at Austin where, today, he serves as the William J. (Bill) Murray Jr. Endowed Chair in Engineering in the chemical engineering department.[1]
