Professor Vicki Grassian, Chair of Environmental Science: Nano has won the 2014 John Jeyes Award for her pioneering contributions to the chemistry of environmental interfaces, heterogeneous atmospheric chemistry and the environmental implications of nanomaterials.
“It is truly an honor to receive this award” Grassian said.
The John Jeyes Award, founded in 1975, is a biennial award for chemistry in relation to the environment. Vicki Grassian, Founding Director of the Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Institute at the University of Iowa, has mentored over one hundred students and postdocs in her laboratory, many of them now having their own research programs focused on energy and the environment.
“The John Jeyes Award is wonderful recognition of the research that has been done by the students and postdoctoral associates who have worked in my laboratory” Grassian said.
We would like to congratulate Vicki on her achievement and take this opportunity to thank Vicki for her pioneering contributions to Environmental Science: Nano, bringing together a variety of communities to publish their work on nanoscience and the implications for the environment, health and sustainability.
Vicki’s latest Environmental Science: Nano paper ‘Iron oxide nanoparticles induce Pseudomonas aeruginosa growth, induce biofilm formation and inhibit antimicrobial peptide function’ (C3EN00029J) is included in a dedicated themed collection of papers celebrating the 2014 RSC Prize and Award winners. All articles in this collection are free* to access until 6th June.
