EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP AWARD
BALDELLI MAKES WAVES IN FIELD
OF ELECTROCHEMISTRY
Sum frequency generation (SFG) is a sophisticated,
non-destructive laser technique designed specifically to study polymer
surfaces. Chemistry professor Steven Baldelli’s pioneering research
work has made him a leader in this field, resulting in his selection
for a 2007 University of Houston Research and Scholarship Excellence
Award. The honor carries a $5,000 stipend and a plaque. “He
may well be the world’s expert in SFG microscopy,” Allen
J. Bard, a University of Texas at Austin professor, wrote in a nomination
letter.
Baldelli’s latest honor is one of many he has received since
coming to UH in 2001. His work and international reputation led to
the 2002 Research Corporation Young Investigator Award and an appointment
as a visiting professor at The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm,
Sweden.
The Excellence in Research and Scholarship Award is given each
year to three faculty members who have achieved a substantial record
of outstanding research, scholarship or creative activities in their
field.
