2011 ACA Award Winners Announced
Please join us in congratulating the following awardees. Award presnetations and lectures will be given at the 2011 ACA Meeting in New Orleans.
 |
2011 Patterson Award to
Keith Moffat
Keith
Moffat (U. of Chicago) has been selected as the recipient of the 2011
ACA Patterson Award. The Award,
established in 1980 to honor A. Lindo Patterson, recognizes and encourages
outstanding research in the structure of matter by diffraction methods,
including significant contributions to the methodology of structure
determination and/or innovative application of diffraction methods and/or
elucidation of biological, chemical, geological or physical phenomena using new
structural information. Moffat will be honored for his work in pioneering
ultrafast time resolved x-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation to
capture the function of fundamental protein processes at atomic resolution.

2011
Wood Award to Daniel Nocera
In 1997,
the ACA established the Wood Science Writing Award to honor Elizabeth A. Wood,
President of the ACA in 1957 and author of science books for lay readers. The
purpose of the award is to recognize and honor the authors of outstanding
publications that bring science to the attention of the general public.
Successful nominees need not be crystallographers or scientists and ‘publications’
is not limited to written work but could include such things as artistic
efforts or museum displays. The award is presented every three years. This year
the ACA Council is proud to announce Daniel G. Nocera (MIT) as the 2011 winner.

2011
Etter Early Career Award to Yurij
Mozharizskyj
To honor
the memory of Margaret C. Etter (1943-1992), the Etter Early Career Award was
established to recognize outstanding achievement and future potential in
crystallographic research demonstrated by a scientist at an early stage of
their independent career. The ACA is proud to announce Yurij Mozharivskyj (McMaster U.) as the 2011
recipient. Mozharivskyj is being honored for having applied the techniques and
theory of crystallography at a high level in his exploration of the structure
property relationships in complex functional materials through the detailed
study of phenomena such as phase transitions, structural disorder, twinning and
diffuse scattering. He has also made important contributions towards the
development of the technique of high temperature, single crystal x-ray
diffraction on a laboratory source and has addressed other important problems
in a wide class of materials of intense current interest including
magnetocaloric, thermoelectric, and superconducting systems.
