Jürgen Gmehling

Jürgen Gmehling (born 13 January 1946 in Duisburg) is a retired[1] German professor of technical and industrial chemistry at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg.

After this he worked as a scientific coworker in Dortmund before he became a private lecturer and, after his habilitation, an assistant professor.

Gmehling was appointed a full professor for technical chemistry at the University of Oldenburg in 1989 and retired in 2011.

Gmehling began in the 1970s with the systematic evaluation of the scientific literature, aiming to build a data bank for vapor-liquid equilibria.

These data were needed for the development of a new method for the prediction of activity coefficients named UNIFAC.
