Prompt
Generate a realistic portrait of Edwin R. Gilliland, an American engineer and professor, in a formal setting, possibly in front of a backdrop that reflects his association with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he worked and studied. He should be dressed in attire typical of a mid-20th-century academic or professional, such as a suit and tie, and should appear in a manner that conveys authority and expertise. Incorporate subtle hints of his contributions to chemical engineering, such as a faint image of a distillation apparatus or a catalytic cracking model in the background. The style should be photorealistic, with attention to detail that accurately reflects the era and his professional stature.
