LARRY E. ERICKSON
Professor of chemical engineering
Director, Great Plains/Rocky Mountain Hazardous Substance Research Center

 

Photo of Larry EricksonK-State chemical engineer Larry E. Erickson directs the Great Plains/Rocky Mountain Hazardous Substance Research Center, which provides long and short-term environmental research related to key hazardous substance problems in this geographical area. These problems include soil and ground water remediation, waste minimization and pollution prevention associated with agriculture, forestry, mining and mineral processing. The emphasis is on contaminated soil remediation. Significant advances in techniques for the remediation of contaminated soil developed through Erickson's research have resulted in cost savings at many field sites including some in Kansas.

In 2001 Erickson was recognized with the $10,000 Irvin Youngberg Award for research achievement in the applied sciences from the University of Kansas.

In his more than 40 years of service to the field of chemical engineering, he has co-authored more than 330 papers covering a wide range of topics and has consulted with numerous international industrial clients and academic institutions. He is co-author of chapters in six books.

His professional memberships include Sigma Xi, Phi Kappa Phi, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the American Chemical Society, the American Society for Microbiology, and the Society of Fermentation Technology of Japan.

Erickson received his Ph.D. from K-State in chemical engineering. He became a full professor after only eight years on K-State's faculty.

Erickson can be reached by phone at 785-532-2380, or via e-mail at lerick@k-state.edu.
