Timothy Gregoire, the J.P. Weyerhaeuser Jr. Professor of Forest Management, was the keynote speaker at an international conference on "Forest Biometry, Modelling and Information Science" held June 2629 in London on the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College at the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site. Gregoire's talk was titled "Biometry in the 21st Century: Whither Statistical Inference?" Participants from 17 countries attended the conference, which was sponsored by the International Union of Forest Research Organizations, the University of Greenwich and participants.
Robert Crabtree, professor of chemistry, was selected by the University of Illinois to receive the Bailar Medal during a ceremony Oct. 2930. The Bailar Medal has been awarded yearly since 1972 to scientists who have distinguished themselves in an area of inorganic chemical research. In addition, Crabtree will be honored with an award from the American Chemical Society (ACS) at the group's national meeting Aug. 2630 in Chicago, Illinois. The ACS is recognizing Crabtree for being one of the 100 chemists worldwide whose research papers are currently the most cited by others.
Csaba Horváth, the Roberto C. Goizueta Professor of Chemical Engineering, received two prestigious awards this spring: the 2001 Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities (ABRF) Award for outstanding contributions to biomolecular technologies and applications, and the 2001 American Chemical Society (ACS) Award in Separations Science and Technology sponsored by IBC Advanced Technologies, Inc. and Millipore Corporation. Horváth was selected for the $10,000 ABRF Award for his "outstanding body of work in advancing the theory and practice of molecular separations techniques." He accepted the award at the annual ABRF meeting on Feb. 26 in San Diego, California, where he gave a presentation titled "From GC to CEC: The Evolution of Modern Chromatography." Horváth received the $5,000 ACS Award, which recognizes "outstanding accomplishments in fundamental or applied research directed to separations science and technology," at the 221st ACS National Meeting on April 3 in San Diego. Horváth pioneered the discovery and development of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which has grown into a multi-billion-dollar industry and is a foundation of modern biotechnology. He constructed the first high-pressure liquid chromatograph and demonstrated HPLC's potential for fast separation of biological substances.
