He has published more than 80 papers and book chapters, and one textbook. He has presented more than 75 technical talks at professional meetings, and has four patents. Bide has received more than $1 million dollars in research funding while at the University of Rhode Island.

Bide also will deliver the traditional Olney Medal Address, "In Praise of Textile Chemistry," at the Conference.
