Steyn Prof. Gerhard M. Schneider (Germany) Prof. Gerhard M. Schneider Prof. Gerhard M. Schneider was born on 7 May 1932 in Neufechingen, Saarbrücken, Germany. Education and Career: Prof. Schneider studied chemistry at the University of Saarbrücken (1951-54) and at the University of G�ttingen (1954-56), where he obtained his diploma degree in 1956 and his Ph.D. in 1959. From 1961 to 1969, he did research and teaching in physical chemistry at the University of Karlsruhe, where he obtained his habilitation in 1965. He was a professor of chemistry at the University of Bochum, Germany, from 1969 to 1997, and he has been an emeritus professor there since then. Prof. Schneider twice served the department of chemistry as a dean and participated on a number of department and university committees for many years. Research Interests: Prof. Schneider's main fields of research have been the thermodynamics of pure substances (with emphasis on phase equilibria) and of mixtures at high pressures, separation methods involving near-critical or supercritical fluids (supercritical fluid extraction, SFE; supercritical fluid chromatography, SFC), thermal high-pressure methods of analysis (differential thermal analysis, DTA; differential scanning calorimetry, DSC), and pressure-jump relaxation investigations (e.g., on the kinetics of phase separation). His most recent interests include phase equilibria of binary, ternary, and quaternary mixtures with at least one supercritical component, and the spectroscopic study of such mixtures. He has published more than 250 papers (including numerous review articles) in refereed journals, and presented more than 200 contributions (including many plenary and invited lectures) at international scientific meetings. Prizes: Prof. Schneider was awarded the Nernst Prize of the Deutsche Bunsengesellschaft f�r Physikalische Chemie in 1969. He was Rossini Lecturer at the IUPAC Conference on Chemical Thermodynamics at Como, Italy in 1990, and Wilhelm Jost Lecturer of the Deutsche Bunsengesellschaft für Physikalische Chemie in 1994-95. IUPAC Offices and Assignments: Prof. Schneider has been a Member (1973-77), Secretary (1977-81), and Chairman (1981-85) of the Commission on Thermodynamics (I.2). He has also been a Member (1981-85) and Secretary (1985-87) of the Physical Chemistry Division Committee and Vice President (1987-89) and President (1989-91) of the Physical Chemistry Division. Prof. Schneider has been an IUPAC Bureau member since 1996. Related Professional Activities: Prof. Schneider has been a member of the advisory board of the Journal of Thermodynamics (Member, 1975-96; Chairman, 1980-90). He has also been a member of the editorial board of Fluid Phase Equilibria (1977-90). Since 1988, Prof. Schneider has been a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Supercritical Fluids.
