1991-92 Division of Analytical Chemistry Graduate Fellowships Ten analytical chemistry graduate students have been selected by the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry to receive either full-year ($12,000 paid over nine months) or summer ($4000 paid over three months) fellowships. The graduate fellowship program is designed to encourage basic research in analytical chemistry and to recognize future leaders in the field. Full-year fellowships have been awarded to: Christie D. Allred of The Ohio State University. Working under the direction of R. L. McCreery, Allred is investigating the relationship between electrode surface structure and electrochemical activity using Raman spectroscopy. Her fellowship is sponsored by The Eli Lilly Corporation. Paul J. Galley of Indiana University. Under the direction of Gary Hieftje, Galley is focusing on understanding the steady-state distribution of atomic and ionic species with the ICP spectrometer. His fellowship is sponsored by Du Pont. Eric J. Munson of Texas A&M University. Munson's research, under the direction of James Haw, involves studying the methanol-togasoline process using NMR spectroscopy. His fellowship is sponsored by The Eastman Chemical Company. Timothy G. Strein of The Pennsylvania State University. Working with Andrew Ewing, Strein is developing methods for constructing extremely small electrodes that can be used in neurochemical analysis. The Procter and Gamble Company is sponsoring his fellowship. .IP

Matthew A. Tarr of the Georgia Institute of Technology. Tarr is working with Richard Browner on the development of an efficient aerosol generator and desolvation interface for coupling capillary zone electrophoresis with ICP-AES and ICPMS. The Perkin-Elmer Corporation is sponsoring his fellowship.
Summer fellowships were awarded to the following:
Scott Van Bramer of the University of Delaware. Working with Murray Johnston, Van Bramer is developing and optimizing systems for photodissociation and photoionization MS. His fellowship is sponsored by the Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh (SACP). Patricia R. Hertz of Duke University. Hertz is working with Linda McGown to study the application of phase-resolved fluorescence fingerprinting to complex samples. The Dow Chemical Company Foundation is sponsoring her fellowship. Christopher E. Kibbey of the University of Michigan. Working with Mark Meyerhoff, Kibbey is developing new metalloporphyrin-based stationary phases for anion chromatography. His fellowship is sponsored by SACP. Jeffrey R. Mazzeo of Northeastern University. Mazzeo is conducting research with Ira Krull in the area of capillary isoelectric focusing and capillary zone electrophoresis of proteins using sample/buffer additives. SACP is sponsoring his fellowship. Stephen R. Peck of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Under the direction of Royce Murray, Peck is developing methods for performing ultra-low-temperature electrochemistry in liquid solution and for fabricating electrodes from high-temperature semiconductor materials. His fellowship is sponsored by SACP. In addition, honorable mention goes to Tonya M. Heme, who is working with Robin Garrell at the University of Pittsburgh.
