Sloan Foundation fellowship

     Klaus H. Theopold, associate professor of chemistry and
biochemistry, has received a $30,000 grant from the Sloan Research
Foundation.
     This competitive award is sought by most of the best scientists
from around the country. The grant can be used in a flexible and
largely unrestricted manner to provide research support.
     Theopold said his research involves "making chemical compounds
that have never been made before to expand the boundaries of
chemistry."
     He works in the areas of inorganic chemistry, material science
and catalysis.
     Theopold holds a Vordiplom from the University of Hamburg in
Germany. He came to the United States in 1978 and received a Ph.D. in
inorganic chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley in
1982. He completed postdoctoral research at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. Prior to coming to the University of
Delaware, he was on the faculty at Cornell University, where he won a
Presidential Young Investigator grant in 1985.
