Bio:

Thomas William Leland, Jr. (1924-1986), was born in Chicago, Illinois, earned the degree of bachelor of science in 1947 from Texas A&M College. received the degree of master of science in 1949 from the University of Michigan, and was awarded the degree of doctor of philosophy in 1954 under Professor John McKetta at the University of Texas at Austin . Professor Leland taught at the University of Arkansas and the Rice University. During the course of his research, Professor Leland published in excess of seventy technical publications on applications of corresponding states theory to fluid mixtures, thermodynamics of solutions, and fluid mixtures.
