ACS Award to Professor George W. Flynn
Congratulations to Columbia chemistry Professor George W.
Flynn, who has been honored as the recipient of the 2010 E. Bright Wilson Award
in Spectroscopy by the American Chemical Society (ACS). Professor Flynn's
research that is the focus of the award uses scanning tunneling microscopy
(STM) to create dramatic images of molecules adsorbed on surfaces. His
group studies the images to learn more about the fundamental properties of the
imaged molecular structures. Professor Flynn will be honored at the 239th
ACS national meeting in San Francisco, on Tuesday, March 23. You can read
more about the E. Bright Wilson Award in Spectroscopy in the January 18 issue
of C&E News (also
online) and on the
ACS website. The work of Professor Flynn's research group is also
described on his
group website.
