Career
Brenner earned his bachelor's degree from Pratt Institute (1950), and his master's (1954) and DEngSc
(1957) from New York University, both in chemical engineering. He has served on the chemical
engineering faculties of New York University (1955–1966), Carnegie Mellon University (1966–1977),
University of Rochester (1977–1981, department chair), and MIT (1981–2005). Since 1981, he was a
professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (William Henry Dow Professor). He was a visiting
professor at the University of Minnesota, Caltech (Fairchild Scholar 1975/76, Chevron Visiting Professor
1988/89), and Technion (Visiting Professor of Mechanical Engineering 1996).

Honors and awards


He received the 2001 Fluid Dynamics Prize from the Division of Fluid Dynamics of the American
Physical Society,[5] the 1980 Bingham Medal of the Society of Rheology and the Warren K. Lewis Award
(1999) from the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. He was a member of the National Academy
of Engineering (1980) and National Academy of Sciences (2000).[6] He was elected as the fellow of the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1999), the American Association for the Advancement of
Science, and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.
