Gracy, Mullins receive local section awards
Henkel Fellowship goes to Ali Firouzi Ali Firouzi, a doctoral candidate in chemical engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara, is the sixth recipient of the Henkel Corp. Research Fellowship in Colloid & Surface Chem istry. Under the fellowship, which is administered by the ACS Division of Colloid & Surface Chemistry, Firouzi will receive $20,000 per year for his fi nal two years of doctoral study. His proposed research, "Thermody namic Principles of Silicatropic Liquid Crystal Self-Assembly," will be an assessment of the validity of theoreti cal models of silicate-surfactant mesophase systems. Potential applications include construction of zeolites or membranes with tunable pore size and morphology for separations and cata lytic reactions. •
The ACS Dallas-Fort Worth Section has presented its 1995 Wilfred T. Doherty Award to Robert W. Gracy, associate dean for basic science and research at the University of North Texas Health Sci ence Center, Fort Worth. Gracy was honored for his work in determining the mechanisms for the aging of proteins in cells. Among Gracy's other awards are a National Institutes of Health Career De velopment Award and two Humboldt Fellowships. The Doherty Award con sists of $1,000 and a plaque. Jerry Mullins has received the sec tion's Werner Schultz Award for out standing high school chemistry teaching. It consists of $250, an engraved plaque, and a traveling plaque that stays at the winner's high school for the year of the award. Mullins is chairman of the de partment of sciences at Piano High School. Mullins has played an important role in introducing advanced placement chemistry and "Chemistry in the Com munity" sequences at his school. Π
