Steven A. Adelman was born and grew up in Chicago. He received a Ph.D. from Harvard University in Chemical Physics in 1972. He then became a post-doctoral fellow first at MIT and then at the University of Chicago. In 1975 he joined the Chemistry faculty of Purdue University as an Assistant Professor and was promoted to Full Professor in 1981. He is now Professor Emeritus of Chemistry at Purdue. Adelman is a theoretical chemist whose research is centered in the field of statistical mechanics and he has contributed to several areas in that field. His most important contribution is to lay the physical, mathematical and computational foundations of the new field of chemical reaction dynamics in condensed matter, especially reaction dynamics on solid surfaces and in liquid solutions. Adelman has been awarded both Alfred P. Sloan and John Simon Guggenheim Memorial fellowships. He is a fellow of both the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He has been listed in Marquis' Who's who in America every year since 1985 and has been listed four times in Marquis' Who's who in the world.
