The American Society of Engineering Education will honor de Nevers for his writing by presenting him with the 1993 Corcoran Award at its annual meeting in Champaign-Urban111., June The award honors the late William Corcoran, a member of the faculty at the California Institute distinguished of Technology. De Nevers, who recently completed his 30th year on the U. faculty, was honored for his article titled, "Product in the Way Processes," which appeared in journal's summer 1992 issue. The article shows that many diverse processes appearing in different branches of chemical engineering have the same a, 21-2- 4. underlying mechanism and thus the same underlying mathematics and optimization. Educated at Stanford University and the University of Michigan, de Nevers worked in the petroleum industry for five years before joining the U. He spent the 1971-7- 2 academic year on leave from the U. at the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Air Programs in Durham, N.C. That was the year the EPA erected the administrative structure to carry out sweeping changes in air pollution laws dictated by the Clean Air Act of 1970. De Nevers served for more than a decade on the Utah Air Conservation Committee, which is now the Utah Air Quality Board. He regularly serves on state environmental advisory boards. He is currently completing a textbook in air pollution control engineering. He will be one of 10 faculty members named Presidential Teaching Scholars at the 1993 U. commencement. Programs will be available to meet participants. business programs open to inventors, such as the Energy Related The format will consist of four plenary speakers and seventeen workshops teaching people about commercializing products, protecting inventive ideas and searching for sources Research Program, Defa said.

Thomas Beebe Jr. and Thanh Troung will receive a maximum $500,000 each in research funding in $100,000-per-yea- r increments over the next five years. Only the University of California at Berkeley received more awards than Utah with three. University of Pennsylvania also received two awards. Scientists from nearly 200 universities nationwide that offer doctorate degrees in chemistry were eligible for the competition. The 20 winners were chosen from a final list of 116 nominees. "It is especially gratifying that our department received 10 percent of the NSF awards," Peter Stang, department chair and distinguished professor of chemistry, said. Combined with previous awardees Peter Armentrout and Thomas Richmond, the U. chemistry department now has four professors funded under the NSF program for outstanding young faculty. Kenneth Hancock, director of the NSF's Division of a recipient's "outstanding achievements to date and the high expectations that the chemistry community has for his or her contributions to education and research." The awards reflect NSF's strong commitment to creating opportunities for outstanding young chemists. The NSF program is the successor to the Presidential Young Investigator Program that ran from 1984 to 1991. The awards are the latest in a string of honors for the department of Institute for chemistry.

Beebe is a member of the department's physical-analyticdivision. He heads a research group that built an atomic force microscope to study the behavior of individual atoms and molecules, the basic building blocks of matter. After earning his doctorate at the University of Pittsburgh in 1987, Beebe did postdoctoral work at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories in California. He joined the U. faculty in al 1989. Troung received his doctorate from the University of Minnesota.

He fled Vietnam's communist regime in 1980 as one of the hundreds of thousands of "boat people" who sought refuge elsewhere. Along with a younger brother and cousin, Troung was rescued in international waters by a battleship from the U.S. Seventh Fleet and transported to a resettlement camp in Thailand. After he was sponsored by a family in Minnesota, he entered the United States in the spring of 1980. Troung is studying the motion that molecules and atoms undergo in reaction, in an effort to design better catalysts for industrially important reactions. Knowing how biological important reactions proceed could lead to better designs of medicine. |
