Heinz Heinemann is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Chemist known for petroleum refining and catalysis
Heinemann was an industrial chemist and pioneer of heterogeneous catalysis whose work at Houdry, Mobil and Lawrence Berkeley advanced petroleum refining and processes such as methanol-to-gasoline conversion, across some 75 patents. His doctoral thesis was rejected in Germany because he was Jewish; he completed his PhD in Basel and emigrated to the United States in 1938.
