PEOPLE 2000 EAS award winners The 2000 winners of the Eastern Analytical Symposium (EAS) awards are Isiah M. Warner of Louisiana State University, Tony Davies of Norwich Near-Infrared Consultancy, Peter Carr of the University of Minnesota, Hans W. Spiess of Max-Planck-Institüt für Polymerforschung, and Svante Wold of Umëa University. Other awardees include Andy Ewing of Pennsylvania State University, James Robinson of Louisiana State University, Maria Kuhnert-Brandstatter of the University of Innsbruck, and Kimberly Prather of the University of California–Riverside. The awards will be presented at EAS ’00 in the fall in Atlantic City, NJ. Carr, professor at the University of Minnesota, will receive the Award for Achievements in Separation Science, sponsored by Waters. His other interests include electrochemistry, ion-selective electrodes, thermochemistry, and solute– solvent interactions in chromatography. Davies, a consultant at the Norwich Near-Infrared Consultancy (U.K.), will receive the award for Achievements in Near-IR Spectroscopy, sponsored by FOSS NIRSystems. His work has included NIR spectroscopy and analysis in the food industry. Spiess, professor at the Max-PlanckInstitüt für Polymerforschung (Germany), will receive the Award for Achievements in Magnetic Resonance.

Warner, professor at Louisiana State University, will receive the Award for Outstanding Achievements in the Fields of Analytical Chemistry. Warner’s research focuses on the development of improved methodology for complex chemical studies, such as fluorescence spectroscopy, guest/host interactions, and chemometrics. Wold, professor at Umëa University (Sweden), will receive the Award for Achievements in Chemometrics. His research interests include multivariate modeling, and the structure property and activity of chemical processes. Ewing, professor at Pennsylvania State University, will receive the Benedetti-Pichler Award. Ewing’s research has focused on the small-volume analysis and measurement of single cells. His work also includes electrochemical detection for CE, ultra-small carbon ring electrodes, and electrochemical measurement of exocytosis.
