Professor Tara Dasgupta of the Department of Chemistry was recognized as the most outstanding researcher in the Faculty for his work on “Mechanisms Involved in the Generation and Reactions of Nitric Oxide.”

Professor Ishenkumba Kahwa, also of the Department of Chemistry, was singled out for having attracted the most research funds for his project on “National Hazardous Materials and Waste Inventory and Their Management Policy Options.”

Dr Anthony Greenaway’s project on “The Discovery Bay Marine Laboratory Chemical Analytical Facility” received the award for the most successfully commercialized research project in the Faculty. He, too, is in the Department of Chemistry.

The award for best publication was won by Dr Michael Taylor and Professor Anthony Chen of the Department of Physics (and a collaborator), for their paper entitled “Influence of the Tropical Atlantic versus the Tropical Pacific on Caribbean Rainfall.”

Dr Willem Mulder of the Department of Chemistry (and a collaborator) also won a best publication award for their paper entitled “Theory of the Salt Effect on Solvatochromic Shifts and Its Potential Application to the Determination of Ground-State and Excited-State Dipole Movements.”

Congratulations to all!
