Dr. William Acree Jr. received his B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Missouri-Rolla. He is Professor of Chemistry at the University of North Texas. He is a Fellow of both the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry and the Royal Society of Chemistry. His research expertise is in the areas of solution and chemical thermodynamics. Research interests include development of linear free energy relationships to correlate solute transfer between two immiscible (or partly miscible) phases and development of group contribution methods to predict enthalpies of phase transition of organic and organometallic compounds, including enthalpies of fusion, sublimation and vaporization. Dr. Acree has published several books, several book chapters, and more than 750 peer-refereed research articles.
