Japanese chemical society honors Dean Kaler
The Colloid and Surface Chemistry division is the largest of three within CSJ, with more than 1,500 members. Kaler’s work in colloid and surfactant science, complex fluid thermodynamics, materials synthesis and small-angle scattering examines the structure of materials on a molecular scale. His research focuses on microemulsions, micelles and vesicular dispersions, as well as concentrated colloidal suspensions. A graduate of the California Institute of Technology, Kaler received his doctorate from the University of Minnesota in 1982. He joined UD’s engineering college faculty in 1989 and was named Elizabeth Inez Kelly Professor of Chemical Engineering in 1998. Kaler was appointed dean of the college in 2000. One of the first to receive a Presidential Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation. Kaler is the recipient of the Curtis W. McGraw Research Award from the American Society of Engineering Education and received the American Chemical Society Award in Colloid or Surface Chemistry. Kaler has authored or coauthored approximately 150 papers and is holder of seven patents. He is on the editorial board of several professional journals and is co-editor-in-chief of the international journal, Current Opinion in Colloid and Interface Science. Colin D. Bain, professor of chemistry at Oxford University, received the other Lectureship Award. The winner of the 2004 Lectureship Awards were Jacob Klein, professor of physical and theoretical chemistry at Oxford University and the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, and A. Paul Alivisatos, professor of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley. Photo by Kathy F. Atkinson To learn how to subscribe to UDaily, click here. |
