The award, which will be presented for the first time this year, consists of $500, a plaque, and travel expenses to the Eastern Analytical Symposium in November in Somerset, NJ, where Brown will receive the award at a symposium in his honor. Brown's research interests include digital filters, multivariate methods for multicomponent analysis, calibration transfer, neural networks, and multivariate nonlinear methods for modeling nonlinear chemical systems.
Karger to receive CE award Barry Karger, professor of chemistry at the Barnett Institute, Northeastern University, will receive the Frederick Conference on Capillary Electrophoresis Award for his contributions to the field of CE. Karger pioneered the use of gel-filled capillaries to separate biomolecules. The award will be presented at the 7th Annual Frederick Conference on Capillary Electrophoresis in October at Hood College in Frederick, MD.
Peter Gavin of The Pennsylvania State University (Andrew Ewing). Gavin has developed an individually addressable electrochemical array detection scheme for continuous separations by electrophoresis in narrow channels which is used to monitor chemical transmitters released from single cells in response to pharmacological stimuli. His fellowship is sponsored by DuPont Neil Kelleher of Cornell University (Fred McLafferty and Tadhg Begley). Kelleher uses electrospray ionization FT-MS to develop novel schemes for DNAderived sequence refinement and active site location for large proteins. From fragmentation of 42-kDa molecular ions, he has pinpointed microheterogeneity, a reading frame sequence error and the active site without prior proteolytic degradation. His fellowship is sponsored by Perkin Elmer.

Ten students to receive graduate fellowships
Full-year fellowships
Paul Edmiston of the University of Arizona (Scott Saavedra). Edmiston uses the combination of waveguideattenuated totalreflection linear dichroism and total internal-reflection fluorescence anisotropy measurements to characterize protein films in situ at the solid-liquid interface. His fellowship is sponsored by Procter & Gamble.
Scott T. Quarmby of fhe University of Florida (Richard A. Yost). Quarmby is studying the fundamental process in which ions injected from an electrospray ion source into a quadrupole ion-trap mass spectrometer are trapped. He expects to optimize injection conditions to improve detection limits, prevent mass discrimination, and limit fragmentation. His fellowship is sponsored by Eli Lilly
Summer fellowships
Richard W. Hammond oo the University of Michigan (Michael D. Morris). Hammond is using high-framerate video fluorescence microscopy to study the mechanism of fast DC and pulsed-field CE DNA separations in a new dilute polymer solution media. His fellowship is sponsored by the Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh (SACP). Richard L. Hansen of the University of Utah Ooel M. Harris). Hansen is exploring laserbased methodologies designed to probe molecular and colloidal dynamics at the liquid-solid interface, lateral transport at the interface, and adsorption-desorption kinetics near the single-molecule limit. His fellowship is sponsored by SACP. Paul T. Jackson of fhe University of Minnesota (Peter W.Carr). Jackson is investigating alternative HPLC supports based on porous microparticulate zirconia. His fellowship is sponsored by The Dow Chemical Co. Stephen T. Sum of the University of Delaware (Steven D.Brown). Sum is working on transferring multivariate calibrations between analytical instruments. His fellowship is sponsored by SACP. Bogdan Szostek of Southern Illinois University Qohn A Koropchak). Szostek is modeling signal generation and response for condensation nucleation light-scattering detection and interfacing it to CE for separating and detecting underivatized amino acids, pep-
