... In addition, as a member of the board of trustees for the Gordon Research Conferences, he was instrumental in expanding them into Europe. Bob's research philosophy is well captured in his words from the 2016 Harvard Alumni Yearbook: My strategy was to do fundamental research aimed at an understanding of the inner workings of our multifunctional, multimetallic oxide catalyst solids, so that we could alter the composition of the solid catalysts on a molecular scale and thereby enhance the efficiency of the catalytically active sites.
