Dr. Whitehead is an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry at Clemson’s College of Science. He received this distinguished award in recognition of his work on odor mitigation, environmental remediation, and development of functionalized nanomaterials to capture compounds associated with rendering odors. This research will help rendering plants neutralize odors that can occur during the rendering process and in many other industries.
