... Ever in a hurry, he defended his PhD after just three years, in 1962, and joined the UIUC chemical engineering faculty that same year. Roger's major research contributions were in the experimental observation of complex behavior in chemical reactions and catalysis.

... He received the American Society for Engineering Education George Westinghouse Award in 1977 for the establishment of a computerized dynamics and digital control laboratory at the University of Illinois, the first of its kind nationally for undergraduates in chemical engineering. At Notre Dame, he started a large-scale deployment of campuswide computing resources in 1985, providing state-ofthe-art Unix workstations for engineering and science faculty and students, graduate and undergraduate alike.

... . He had always seen the mathematical connection between dynamic behavior in a diverse range of natural phenomena, from chemical reactions to heart fibrillations and predator-prey behavior.
