Dynamic Processes in Solids

James E. House is Emeritus Professor of Chemistry at Illinois State University, USA, and Scholar in Residence at Illinois Wesleyan University, USA. He received B.S. and M.A. degrees from Southern Illinois University and the Ph.D. from the University of Illinois, Urbana. In over 50 years of teaching, he taught numerous courses in inorganic and physical chemistry and several special topics courses. His research resulted in over 150 publications in professional journals, many dealing with reactions of solids. He has authored several books on kinetics, quantum mechanics, and inorganic chemistry for Elsevier. He is the Series Editor for Developments in Physical & Theoretical Chemistry for Elsevier and has also edited volumes in the series. House was elected as a Fellow of the Illinois State Academy of Science and he has done extensive consulting in the chemical industry. He was selected as Professor of the Year in 2011 by the student body at Illinois Wesleyan University and in 2018 he was inducted into the Southern Illinois University Chemistry Alumni Hall of Fame.
