Bios:
• Dr. Robert G. Bozic Dr. Robert G. Bozic, Lieutenant Colonel U.S. Army (Retired), is a Lecturer in Chemical Engineering and Director of the MS in Chemical Engineering Program in the Dept. of Chemical Engineering at Columbia University.

He teaches Chemical Engineering Design and a Graduate Elective in Chemical Engineering Process Safety, and Graduate Chemical Engineering Math as well as Individual Research Courses. He retired from the U.S. Army in September 2014 after 29 years of continuous service as an officer in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Most recently, he served as an Associate Professor and Deputy Director of Chemical Engineering in the Department of Chemistry and Life Science at the U.S. Military Academy (West Point, NY).

He is a life member and senior member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) and was the faculty advisor to the West Point, AIChE Student Chapter for 5 years. Currently he has been working on research in the area of how chemical engineering process safety is taught using simulation. He has previously conducted research in the area of electrochemical sensors and fuel cells.

Robert is a 1989 graduate of U.S. Military Academy at West Point from which he holds a B.S. in Chemistry. He also holds a M.E. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Florida and a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Columbia University. He is also a graduate of the U.S. Army Engineer Officer Basic Course, Advanced Course, and the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College.

• Don Glaser, President, Simulation Solutions, Inc. Don Glaser is the President of Simulation Solutions, Inc., a leader in providing PC-based dynamic simulations and related programs for use in training process operators since 1980. They have been used in over 230 locations in 28 countries on six continents.

Don has spent his entire career developing Operator Training Simulators. His company was the first to bring dynamic simulation to the personal computer, and now is the first to market a simulator that includes a virtual reality 3D training station

Don has authored many articles on training applications of dynamic simulation and has delivered numerous training courses to both instructors and operators. He has a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Lafayette College (Easton, PA). He is a member of the AIChE, the Greater N.J. Process Technology Association, and the Society for Computer Simulation. In addition, he has served as a 8-year member of the U.S. Military Academy’s Chemical Engineering Department’s ABET Advisory Board, as well as the Middlesex County College (NJ) PTEC Advisory Board since 2010.
