Keith L. Hohn joined the Department of Chemical, Paper, and Biomedical Engineering at Miami in 2019 to serve as Professor and Chair.

He came to Miami after serving as the William H. Honstead Professor of Chemical Engineering at Kansas State University, where he worked for 20 years. He earned his B.S. in chemical engineering from the University of Kansas and his Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the University of Minnesota.

Dr. Hohn’s research area is in heterogeneous catalysts with emphasis on energy applications. This includes research on natural gas conversion, hydrogen generation, and the conversion of biomass-derived compounds to fuels and chemicals. One recent project was on the catalytic conversion of 2,3-butanediol, a key chemical intermediate that can be produced from biomass. Over a series of papers, Dr. Hohn’s demonstrated that 2,3-butanediol could be converted to polymer precursors, solvents, flavoring compounds, and fuel-range hydrocarbons.

Dr. Hohn has served his scientific community through a number of leadership positions. He has served as the founding Editor-in-Chief for Catalysts, an open-source journal dedicated towards all areas of catalysis. Under his leadership, the journal has developed into a trusted publication venue with a impact factor of 3.444 and more than 1000 papers published each year.

Dr. Hohn also was co-founder and inaugural President of the Great Plains Catalysis Society. In recognition of Dr. Hohn’s research contributions, he was awarded the Frankenhoff Outstanding Research Award from the College of Engineering at Kansas State University in 2018.
