Yurii Shaevich Matros (Юрий Шаевич Матрос; September 16, 1937 – July 21, 2020) was a Soviet and American scientist in the field of chemical engineering, known for his achievement in the theory and practice of heterogeneous catalytic processes. He is acknowledged as a “Godfather” of realization of catalytic processes in forced unsteady state conditions. Matros developed a catalytic reactor with periodic changes of direction of flow rate in packed bed of catalyst (named in literature as “reverse process” or “Matros Reactor”). This reactor is widely known in scientific and applied literature as an example of an application of developed theory of forced unsteady processes.[clarification needed] Yurii Matros possessed a full doctoral degree of science and was a professor.
