PEOPLE
Graduate fellowship awards Thirteen analytical chemistry graduate students have been selected by the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry to receive fellowships for the academic year ($15,000) or for the summer ($5000). The program encourages basic research in analytical chemistry and recognizes future leaders.
Full-year fellowships Ethan Badman of Purdue University (R. Graham Cooks). Badman is developing cylindrical quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometers for nondestructive detection, and miniature mass spectrometer arrays. His fellowship is sponsored by DuPont. John Goodpaster
of Michigan State University (Victoria McGuffin). Goodpaster's work focuses on computational studies of the mechanism of selective fluorescence quenching, characterizing novel polycyclic aromatic quenchers, and developing new detection methods for capillary LC. His fellowship is sponsored by Eli Lilly.
Michall
Lacey of the University of Illinois (Jonathan Sweedler). Lacey is developing nanoliter-volume NMR probes as detectors for capillary separations and static analyses of mass-limited samples. His fellowship is sponsored by Merck.
Kevin Lan of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill Games Jorgenson). Lan's research models the progression of chromatographic peak shapes in terms of temporal statistical moments. His fellowship is sponsored by Eastman Chemical.
John McLean of George Washington University (Akbar Montaser). McLean investigates fundamental processes of sample introduction into inductively coupled plasmas and explores new aerosol diagnostic and nanoflow nebulizers for plasma spectroscopy. His fellowship is sponsored by Glaxo Wellcome. Allen Templeton
of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (Royce Murray). The goal of his research is to understand the structure and properties of novel monolayer-protected gold cluster molecules using a variety of analytical methods. Templeton's fellowship is sponsored by Perkin Elmer. Jerllyn Timlin of the University of Michigan (Michael Morris). Timlin is developing Raman and hyperspectral Raman imaging methods as bioanalytical tools for characterizing bone microstructure. Her fellowship is sponsored by Procter & Gamble.
Summer fellowships Igor German of the University of Florida (Robert Kennedy). German is developing affinity assay and preconcentration methods using CE and capillary chromatography. His fellowship is sponsored by the Society of Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh. Fereshteh Haddadian of Louisiana State University (Isiah Warner). Haddadian's research focuses on understanding chiral recognition using monomeric and polymeric amino acid-based surfactants. Her fellowship is sponsored by R. W. Johnson Pharmaceutical Research Institute.
James Hannss of Virginia Commonwealth University (David Muddiman). Hannis uses electrospray ionization FT-ion cyclotron resonance MS to study the gas-phase dissociation of DNA sequences. His fellowship is sponsored by the Society of Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh. Michelle Reyzer of the University of Texas-Austin Qennifer Brodbelt). Reyzer uses electrospray ionization quadrupole ion trap MS to study molecular recognition, focusing on binding interactions in gasphase ion complexes. Ryan Rodgess of Florida State University (Alan Marshall). Rogers is working to expand the use of FT-ion cyclotron resonance MS for analyzing complex mixtures, such as petroleum samples, which can contain can hundreds or thousands of components. His fellowship is sponsored by SACP. Hua Yang of the University of Pittsburgh (Adrian Michael). Yang investigates the etiology of certain brain disorders through the development and application of microsensors for monitoring neurotransmitters in the extracellular space of the living brain. Her fellowship is sponsored by SACP. Honorable mentions are Kevin Bennett of the University of Tennessee (Kelsey Cook), David Horn of Cornell University (Fred McLafferty), and Chris Zangmeister of the University of Arizona Qeanne Pemberton).
Nucleic acid review The chapter of the clinical chemistry application review covering nuclei acid analysis (normally published in the June 15 issue) will be printed in the September 15 issue. We regret the delay in publication.
