Biographical/Historical Note
Sheldon ("Shel") Kay Friedlander was born on November 17, 1927 in New York City, New York. Friedlander attended Columbia University
briefly before leaving his studies to serve in the Army during World War II. After the war, Friedlander returned to Columbia
and received a BS in Chemical Engineering (1949), an M.S. in Chemical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(1951), and a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Illinois (1954).
After completing his doctorate, Friedlander was appointed to the faculties at: Columbia University (1945-1957), Johns Hopkins
University (1957-1964), and the California Institute of Technology (1964-1978). In 1978, joined UCLA and was a founding member
of the Department of Chemical Engineering, where he taught for nearly three decades. He was Chair from 1984-1988. [Note: the
Department of Chemical Engineering was renamed the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering in 2005.]
Friedlander was known as one of the fathers of aerosol science, a field that studies the properties of airborne particles.
While at the California Institute of Technology he devised a way to analyze existing data that measured the chemical makeup
of smog particles. This discovery lead to an understanding of who and what were contributing to air pollution at any given
time. Friedlander's research linked smog particles to gasoline usage and linked zinc traces to the rubber in tires. His research
was incorporated into the first systems developed for the regulation of air quality. In 1982 he helped found the American
Association for Aerosol Research (AAAR). Fifteen years later the AAAR established the Friedlander Award (1997) which recognizes
an outstanding dissertation by a doctoral student in the field of aerosol studies.
During Friedlander's tenure at UCLA he founded the university's Air Quality and Aerosol Technology Laboratory and became its
director. In 1983 Friedlander was named first incumbent of the Ralph M. Parsons Chair in Chemical Engineering at UCLA. In
1987 he established at UCLA the nation's first engineering research center devoted to solving the problem of hazardous waste
management.
Friedlander served on a number of advisory boards and committees including: Chairman of the National Academy of Science/National
Research Council Sub-Committee on Photochemical Oxidants and Ozone (1973-1976); Chairman and member of the Environmental Protection
Agency's Science Advisory Board (1976-1986); and the California Air Resources Board (2002).
Some of Friedlander's awards and honors include: the Colburn Award, American Institute of Chemical Engineers (1959); Fulbright
Scholar (1960-1970); Guggenheim Fellowship (1969-1970); the Alpha Chi Sigma Award, American Institute of Chemical Engineers
(1974); U.S. Senior Scientist Humboldt Award (1984, West Germany); and the Fuchs Memorial Award, American Association for
Aerosol Research (1990).
Friedlander remained active in the field until his death on February 9, 2007 in Pacifc Palisades, Los Angeles. He was 79.

Scope and Content
The series includes manuscripts, correspondence, contracts, and copies of articles and studies published by Friedlander, both
alone and with colleagues. Additional materials include photographs of results, five 3.5 inch floppy disks, containing copies
and information on the manuscripts on chemical signatures, comparative studies on aerosols, polymers, nanoparticles, elastic
behaviour, particle nucleation, submicron atmosphere aerosol, fabrication of aerogel-like structures, and aerosol dynamics,
among other topics.
