From page 325...
... His thesis on molecular radiation and spectroscopy laid the groundwork for his future technical contributions.
From page 326...
... He authored some 100 papers and reports on molecular radiation and excitation mechanisms for such species as O2, N2, NO, CO, and CO2 and ions important in high-temperature airflows and planetary atmospheres. Of particular interest were the mechanisms for the interaction of vibrational excitation with dissociation in diatomic molecules.
From page 327...
... Over the preceding 25 years former CAL employees had harnessed research program ideas and techniques to create more than 20 local companies, a number of which have grown much larger than CAL/Calspan and achieved worldwide recognition. Chuck worked with the presidents of the University at Buffalo, Arvin Industries, and the new Arvin/Calspan to start an independent nonprofit organization to continue this critical role in western New York.
From page 328...
... He was a fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) , chairman of its Division of Fluid Dynamics, associate editor of the Physics of Fluids journal, and, as cochair of the 1988 Annual APS Fluid Dynamics Conference, a central figure in attracting this prestigious conference to western New York, bringing international researchers and prominence to UB.
From page 329...
... Chuck was the central figure in the project, heading a large fundraising effort and traveling to Ireland to help select the stones and arrange transport to Buffalo. Chuck Treanor was a quiet man, and a humble one, with a powerful intellect and an instinctive feel for the physics behind observed phenomena.
