Rate My Professor Angela Lueking

Dr. Angela Lueking serves as Vice Chancellor for Research and Dean of the Graduate School at Montana Technological University, a position she has held since 2021. She earned her B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, M.S. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Michigan, M.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Michigan, and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Michigan. Her distinguished career in engineering includes serving as Associate Dean of Engineering and Professor of Chemical Engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology from 2018 to 2021. Prior to that, she was Program Director for molecular separations at the National Science Foundation from 2016 to 2018 and continued as an expert until 2019. At Pennsylvania State University, she held joint appointments as Professor of Energy and Mineral Engineering from 2003 to 2018 and Professor of Chemical Engineering from 2010 to 2018. Additionally, she was a Marie Curie International Incoming Fellow at the University of Crete from 2012 to 2013. Lueking has extensive experience in research administration, facilitating partnerships, mentoring junior faculty, and overseeing interdisciplinary projects in engineering.

Dr. Lueking's research specializations encompass adsorption processes, hydrogen storage and separations, and spillover mechanisms in porous materials and metal-organic frameworks. She holds patents related to nanocrystalline diamond and carbon-based hydrogen clathrates. Key publications include the co-authored textbook 'Science of the Earth, Climate and Energy' (World Scientific, 2018) with M.W. Cole and D. Goodstein; the invited review 'Observation and Simulation of Hydrogen Storage via Spillover' in Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering (2018); and articles such as 'Understanding the interaction of Nitrogen with Polymer of Intrinsic Microporosity (PIM-1) by vibrational spectroscopy' in Microporous and Mesoporous Materials (2018), and 'Oxygen-Selective Adsorption in RPM3-Zn Metal Organic Framework' in Chemical Engineering Science (2017). Her work has earned awards including the EMS Energy Institute Research Excellence Award from Penn State University (2008) and annual recognition from the Penn State Commission for Adult Learners (2014). Lueking has contributed to leadership roles such as Treasurer of the Women in Engineering Division of the American Society for Engineering Education (2019-2021), Board of Directors for the Engineering Research Council of ASEE (2020-2021), and various positions in the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.
