Joel Langford—of AirUCI's Blake research group—and Yuriy Slutskyy are the first to receive F.S. and Joan Rowland Fellowships.  This fellowship is named in honor of Sherry Rowland, a collaborator and guest speaker as well as an early supporter of AirUCI, who won the 1995 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his co-discovery of the effects of chlorofluorocarbons on the earth'sozone layer.  Congratulations to Joel and Yuriy!

On Friday, September 13, the National Fuel Cell Research Center (NFCRC) will host a visit of Professor Petros Sofronis to UCI, after which he will tour AirUCI's labs.  Dr. Sofronis is Professor at the University of Illinois (Champagne Urbana) of Mechanical Science and Engineering in solid mechanics, micromechanics, and fracture mechanics.  He also is Director of the International Institute for Carbon-Neutral Energy Research (I2CNER).

During the week of August 5-9, 2013, AirUCI will participate in UCI's Chemical and Materials Physics (ChaMP) summer program by providing tours of several of our labs.  The ChaMP program is designed to prepare M.S. and Ph.D. students for careers in Physical Sciences, where cross-disciplinary education with an emphasis on applications is increasingly required.

AirUCI co-Director Doug Tobias has been named a 2013 Fellow of the American Chemical Society.  He joins AirUCI co-Director John Hemminger and Chemistry Professor Scott Rychnovsky in becoming the third faculty member from UCI's Chemistry department to be so recognized.  Way to go, Doug!
