- National
award
- Prof.
Csaba Horváth, ChE, has been awarded the 2001
ACS
- National
Award in Separations Science & Technology for
- "contributions
to chemistry of national significance." This award
- is
sponsored by IBC Advanced Technologies Inc. and Millipore Corp.
- According
to Chemical and Engineering News, 1/15/01, Prof. Horváth
- is
"an innovator who was the first to demonstrate a technology
- that
has become a multi-billion-dollar business, has been named
- the
dominant analytical technique of the postwar era, and is an
- indispensable
foundation of modern biotechnology." Prof. Horváth
- will
accept the award and deliver his award address before the
- Division
of Industrial & Engineering Chemistry at the ACS
- national
meeting in San Diego in April.
-
- $2.5
M for environmental research
- A
proposal by Prof. Menachem Elimelech, ChE and EnvE, and
- four
Pennsylvania State University researchers was selected
- by
the National Science Foundation to receive one of the six
- Collaborative
Research Activities in Environmental Molecular
- Science
(CRAEMS) Awards. The five investigators will share
- the
$2,550,000 award over five years. Their winning proposal,
- "Molecular
Level Analysis of Macromolecule-Surface
- Interactions
in Bacterial Adhesion," was for investigation of
- experimental
and theoretical aspects of bacterial cell motion
- and
adhesion near solid interfaces in aquatic systems. This
- research
has implications for restoration of contaminated
- groundwater,
water treatment, and wastewater reclamation,
- all
a matter of growing global importance as the scarcity of
- fresh
water becomes a major environmental and human
- health
concern.
