- Geri Richmond given awards from AWIS & Coblentz Society
UO chemist Geri Richmond is among the 2008 Class of Fellows named by the Association for Women in Science (AWIS). Six women and one man were so honored during February's annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Boston. Richmond was noted for "her support of professional advancement of women through leadership of the Committee for the Advancement of Women Chemists (COACh)."
Richmond, who is the Richard M. and Patricia H. Noyes Professor of Chemistry at UO, in March will receive another award. The Coblentz Society, a non-profit organization founded in 1954 to foster the understanding and application of vibrational spectroscopy, has chosen Richmond as the 2008 recipient of its Bomen-Michelson Award. The annual award, given since 1987, honors A.E. Michelson, developer of the Michelson interferometer, and is sponsored by the Swiss firm ABB Bomem Inc., a world leader in space spectrometry. The Coblenz Society noted Richmond's "contributions to the field of molecular spectroscopy through the use, development and advancement of nonlinear optical methods to study molecular structure and interactions at complex surfaces and interfaces."
