Morton Mace Denn (born July 7, 1939) is a
Early life
Denn was born on July 7, 1939, in Paterson, New Jersey[1][2][10] to Herbert, a drugstore owner, and Esther Denn. He has one sister, Dorothy.[11][12] During his childhood, Denn was an active member of the Junior Congregation of Temple Emanuel of North Jersey in Paterson[13][14] was part of his synagogue's Boy Scout troop,[15] and in 1957 served as the North Jersey Regional President of the Aleph Zadik Aleph youth organization.[16] He graduated from Eastside High School, where he was inducted into the National Honor Society,[17][18] in 1957.[19] He worked as a laboratory technician for the Linen Thread Company developing foamed plastic boat bumpers the summer before college.[2]
While at
Career
Denn joined the faculty at the University of Delaware in 1965 as an assistant professor of Computer Science; only a quarter of his academic appointment at this time was in Chemical Engineering. He became an associate professor of Chemical Engineering in 1968, a
Denn joined the faculty of City College of New York[3] in 1999 as CUNY Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering. He also held an appointment in the physics department. In 2001, he became the Albert Einstein Professor of Science and Engineering[1][9] and was appointed the third[citation needed] director of the Benjamin Levich Institute for Physicochemical Hydrodynamics, a role he held until 2015. He retired in 2014.[20][1][9] Students who worked in his lab include Benny D. Freeman, Rakesh Jain, and Glenn Lipscomb.[1][2]
During his career, Denn was a visiting professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1978-1985); Technion – Israel Institute of Technology (1979-1980); California Institute of Technology (1980); University of Melbourne (1985); Hebrew University of Jerusalem (1998-1999, 2009–2010); Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (2011, 2014); and University of Amsterdam (2012-2015).[1][3][10] He worked as the sole editor[2] of AIChE Journal between 1985 and 1991 and as the editor for the Journal of Rheology from 1995 to 2005.[9][2][1] He also worked on the editorial boards for the Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics (1976-2019), Advances in Chemical Engineering (1984–85, 1993–2003), and Rheologica Acta (1995-2005) and as a consulting editor for AIChE Journal from 1991 to 1995.[citation needed]
Personal life
He married Marilyn Goldfarb in Teaneck, New Jersey on June 28, 1962[11] and had three children: Matt,[21] Susannah, and Rebekah. By 1996, he had married historian Vivienne Roumani.[2]
