Kenneth S. Pitzer was born in Pomona, California, in 1914. He received his . in 1935 from Caltech and his . in chemistry from UC Berkeley in 1937. He was immediately appointed to the faculty of the Department of Chemistry at Berkeley, where he spent most of his distinguished career.
Professor Pitzer took leave to serve in Washington, ., during World War II and again from 1949 to 1951, when he was Director of Research for the Atomic Energy Commission. Upon returning to Berkeley, he was appointed Dean of the College of Chemistry, a position that he held until 1960. He subsequently became President first of Rice University (1961-1968) and then of Stanford University (1969-1971). In 1971, he returned to Berkeley, becoming Professor Emeritus in 1984.

Professor Pitzer was the founder of modern theoretical chemistry at Berkeley. He not only used quantum and statistical mechanics to explain the thermodynamic and conformational properties of molecules, but he also pioneered quantum scattering theory for describing chemical reactions at the most fundamental level. He also made contributions to relativistic effects in chemical bonding and the theory of fluids and electrolyte solutions.

化工热力学面临的问题
化工热力学面临的最大问题是：理论研究多,实际应用少。
美国 University of California, Berkeley 的Prausnitz 教授是近代化工热力学领域最著名的一位学者，下面引用他在论文 “Thermodynamics and Other Chemical Engineering Sciences: Old Models for New Chemical Products and Processes”（Fluid Phase Equilibria 158-160,1999）中的一段话 ，说明目前化工热力学存在的问题。

“Chemical engineering thermodynamics has many talented researchers working on a wide variety of projects. But all too often when I read erudite articles in the literature, the author seems to be saying: “I have an answer. But I don’t know the question.”
“Do the best work in Thermodynamics that you possibly
