2016 ACS Fellows from the Physical Chemistry Division*
Steven Corcelli, University of Notre Dame
Contribution to the science/profession:
Recognized for developing theoretical approaches to understand dynamics,
spectroscopy, and reactivity in the condensed-phase and at biomolecular
interfaces.
Contribution to the ACS community:
Served as Chair of the Biophysical Subdivision of the Division of Physical
Chemistry, Chair of the Graduate Education Advisory Board, and as the
organizer of several national symposia.
Robert J. Hamers, University of Wisconsin
Contribution to the science/profession:
Recognized for seminal contributions to atomic-level characterization and
understanding of the geometry, electronic structure, reactivity, and
photochemistry of semiconductor surfaces with practical applications in
electronics, biology, catalysis, and environmental science.
Contribution to the ACS community:
Served as Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry Chair, chaired two ACS
National Award selection committees, founded the University of
Wisconsin-Madison ACS Student Chapter, and serves as a Senior Editor of
Accounts of Chemical Research. Also mentored many K-12 and undergraduate
researchers.
Andrew M. Herring, Colorado School of Mines
Contribution to the science/profession:
Recognized internationally as an expert in polymer exchange membranes for
electrochemical applications. He pioneered work in new fuel cell
electro-catalysts, photo-electro-catalysts, heteropoly acid-based
catalysts, and membranes for electrochemical applications.
Contribution to the ACS community:
Served as Chair of the Division of Fuel Chemistry. Also served as the lead
member of the committee to merge the Divisions of Fuel Chemistry and
Petroleum Chemistry, presiding over the historic vote to merge two
divisions for the first time in ACS history.
Teri W. Odom, Northwestern University
Contribution to the science/profession:
Recognized for designing multi-scale nanostructured surfaces that can
control energy transfer processes at the nanoscale and for developing
anisotropic gold nanostar conjugates for imaging and targeted therapeutics.
Contribution to the ACS community:
Recognized for her commitment to graduate and postdoctoral training with
service on numerous committees, for service as the Division of Inorganic
Chemistry Nanoscience Subdivision Chair, and for contributions as the
Founding Executive Editor of ACS Photonics.
Steven Sibener, University of Chicago
Contribution to the science/profession:
Recognized for seminal studies of gas-surface interactions utilizing
supersonic molecular beams and scanning probe microscopy with theory and
simulations to elucidate the fundamental, underlying atomic-level chemistry
and dynamics of interfaces.
Contribution to the ACS community:
Recognized for leadership in chemistry education for students and the
public, including creating content for interactive and web-based museum
exhibits that showcase chemistry and molecular reactivity to more than 1
million people annually.
The nomination window for 2017 ACS Fellows will be open next spring. Additional information may be found here.
