EDUCATION:
Ph.D. 1980 Iowa State University, Ames, IA Organic Chemistry
B.S. 1975 Calvin College, Grand Rapids, MI Chemistry
PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS:
Dr. Hoekman is a Research Professor within the Division of Atmospheric Sciences (DAS) at the Desert Research Institute (DRI), a statewide branch of the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE). His professional interests include environmental impacts of energy production, distribution, and use; development of renewable and sustainable energy systems; air quality impacts of vehicle emissions; and impacts of advanced-technology vehicles on emissions and energy use. He is also interested in the interface between politics and environmental science, particularly in the areas of energy policy, greenhouse gases, and climate change.
From 2001 to 2007, Dr. Hoekman served as Executive Director of DAS (see web site at http://www.das.dri.edu). This Division consists of approximately 50 research faculty, along with 70 technologists, graduate students, post-docs, and other support staff. DAS conducts fundamental and applied research around the world on topics pertaining to emissions, renewable energy, air pollution, meteorology, climatology, aerosol chemistry and physics, and other areas of atmospheric science. As Director, Dr. Hoekman was responsible for all personnel, financial, organizational, and professional activities of the Division.
Prior to joining DRI in 2001, Dr. Hoekman spent over 20 years at Chevron, where he focused on transportation fuels and impacts of their usage on emissions and air quality. Experimental work included detailed characterization of vehicular emissions, and investigations of how fuel formulation changes could improve ambient air quality. He has served on technical committees representing the American Petroleum Institute (API), the Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA) the Coordinating Research Council (CRC) and other industry organizations. Dr. Hoekman also has experience in regulatory affairs related to vehicles, fuels, emissions, air quality, and health effects. He has served in technical advisory roles to EPA and was a member of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Research Screening Committee. He currently serves on the Health Effects Institute’s (HEI) Special Committee on Emerging Technologies.
