At Northwestern, Ipatieff was an inspiring teacher (Figure 5). His first graduate student, Vladimir Haensel, invented the UOP platforming process. 

At that time, unbeknown to each other. Dr. Vladmir Haensel was also involved in his work on platinum on alumina reforming catalyst promoted with fluoride, which work ultimately led to the platforming process of UOP and for which work Dr. Haensel ultimately received the President s Medal of Science. 

Platforming (Vladimir Haensel) American chemical engineer Haensel invents platforming, a process that uses a platinum catalyst to produce cleaner-burning high-octane fuels.
