Professor Fogler has graduated 38 Ph.D. students from his research group and has published more than 200 research publications. He and his students are well-known for their work in chemical reaction engineering in petroleum engineering, which encompasses a number of fundamental chemical engineering areas, specifically; reaction engineering, colloids, and multiphase flow. Research topics include: flow, reaction, and precipitation; kinetics of wax deposition; fused chemical reactions; gellation kinetics; asphaltene deposition kinetics and remediation; colloidal phenomena; and catalyzed dissolution of minerals. In addition to funding by government agencies, an industrial affiliates program consisting of major oil companies has supported the research on flow and reaction in porous media for the past 26 years. A number of research results are now being used in industrial applications.
