Parsons Foundation Professor of Chemical Engineering and director of the Air Quality/Aerosol Technology Laboratory, passed away on February 9, 2007, at his home in Pacific Palisades, California. He is considered a father of aerosol science and technology, which he promoted as an "enabling discipline." Shel is widely known for his research on the various pollutants in smog and their quantification by source, and he championed the important goal of waste minimization in the chemical process industries -- the conception, design, and operation of chemical processes that produce little or no waste.

In addition, his early research on aerosol deposition in the lung led to the development by others of methods to deliver therapeutic drugs directly to the lung. As a young professor at Johns Hopkins, Shel also began publishing on self-preserving particle size distributions, which is considered one of the most elegant research works in aerosol science.
