Pittcon Recognizes Outstanding Achievements in Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy
Thirteen awards honor scientists who have made outstanding contributions to analytical chemistry and applied spectroscopy
Pittsburgh, PA. September 30, 2015. The Pittcon 2016 Program Committee is pleased to announce the recipients of 13 prestigious awards honoring scientists who have made outstanding contributions to analytical chemistry and applied spectroscopy. Each award will be presented during a symposium during Pittcon 2016, March 6-10, 2016. Atlanta, Georgia.
Presentations will include topics in applications such as bioanalytical, environmental, nanotechnology, material science, polymers/plastics, pharmaceutical, biomedical and homeland security. Methodologies include near infrared spectroscopy, molecular and vibrational spectroscopy; mass spectrometry; electrochemistry; liquid chromatography; and separations.

The former award, ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry for Young Investigators in Separation Sciences, has been renamed the Satinder Ahuja Award for Young Investigator in Separation Sciences and was created to recognize and encourage outstanding contributions to the field of separation science by a young chemist or chemical engineer.
