Division of Environmental Chemistry Student Awards
A
s in 2010, Environmental Science & Technology gladly announces the awardees of the American Chemical Society’s Division of Environmental Chemistry http://www.envirofacs. org/ graduate student awards. First up are recipients of the Graduate Student Award. These students must have completed one full year of graduate study in chemistry, environmental engineering, or other programs emphasizing environmental chemistry at a U.S. institution by the date of announcement of the awards (January or February). Faculty advisors may nominate only one student, and either the advisor or the student must be a member of the Division. Selection is based on records in course work, evidence of research productivity, and statements from graduate faculty advisers. Up to 25 winners receive a one year membership in the Division and a cash award. The 2011 winners are (student, institution, advisor) Ngai Yin Yip, Yale University, Menachem Elimelech Kaitlin Mallouk, University of Illinois, Mark Rood Ting Shao, Clemson University, Tanju Karanfil Fang Zhang, Penn State University, Bruce Logan Jia Guo, Rutgers University, Lisa Rodenburg Darcy Chase, Texas Tech University, Todd Anderson Matt Limmer, Missouri University for Science and Technology, Joel Burken Iftheker Khan, University of South Carolina, Navid Saleh Marcella Card, The Ohio State University, Yu-Ping Chen Yuanyuan Liu, University of Illinois, Thanh Nguyen Volha Keen, University of Colorado, Karl Linden Alexandra Salter-Blanc, Oregon Health and Science University, Paul Tratnyek Hua Wei, University of Illinois-Chicago, An Li Hanoz Santoke, University of California, Irvine, William Cooper Divina Navarro, University of Buffalo, Diana Aga Eleanor Robinson, Baylor University, Sascha Usenko Santosh Mishra, University of Texas at Arlington, Purnendu Dasgupta Jessica Wilson, Carnegie Mellon, Jeanne VanBriesen Dong Li, Rice University, Pedro Alvarez Yuping Ding, Southern Illinois University, Mike Lydy Kavitha Dasu, Purdue University, Linda Lee Amar Wadhawan, Johns Hopkins University, Edward Bouwer Matthew Hull, Virginia Tech, Peter Vikesland Viet Dang, Clemson University, Cindy Lee Sarah Page, University of Minnesota, Kristopher McNeill The Division also awards the Ellen C. Gonter Environmental Chemistry Award to a maximum of seven recipients. These awards are competitive and judged on the basis of research and writing quality. Graduate students who receive this award will present their papers at the C. Ellen Gonter Environmental Chemistry Awards Symposium at the American Chemical Society National meeting in the Fall. Each awardee will also receive a $1,000 cash award at the Environmental Division Dinner at the national meeting and a one year membership in the Division. r 2011 American Chemical Society
