Biographical Sketch
John M. Shaw obtained his B.A.Sc. degree in Chemical
Engineering and his Ph.D. in Metallurgy and Material
Science at the University of British Columbia,
Vancouver, Canada. He joined the Department of Chemical
and Materials Engineering at the University of Alberta,
in 2001, where he held the NSERC industrial research
chair in petroleum thermodynamics (2001-2017) and is now
a Professor.
During his career he has developed
expertise in the phase behavior, physiochemical and
transport properties of hydrocarbons from coal liquids,
heavy oils and condensate rich reservoir fluids to pure
compounds. In his current role, he develops enabling
technologies, and methodologies for measuring and
calculating thermophysical properties of hydrocarbons,
and for selecting industrial processes related to
hydrocarbon production, transport and refining sectors
with a global mandate. During his current
sabbatical he is, among other activities, advising the
Peruvian government on the quality of the Chemical and
Petroleum Engineering undergraduate programs at
Peruvian universities.
He is an associate editor of Energy and
Fuels, member of the international advisory board for
the European Community Project Science for Clean Energy
member of the International Union of Pure and Applied
Chemistry (IUPAC) Project on Recommended Reference
Materials for Phase Equilibria Studies. He sat until
recently on an advisory committee for the National High
Magnetic Flux Laboratory Tallahassee (FTICR-MS facility,
USA), and the Network Coordination Council for the
Canadian Oils.
