CHEE is sad to report the passing of James William White, a mining-technology pioneer who taught in the UA chemical engineering department from 1971 to 1981.
A visionary inventor and dedicated mentor, White co-founded Modular Mining Systems and helped revolutionize the way mines operate in real time with the traffic management algorithm he developed for their Dispatch computerized fleet control system.
