AHMED ZEWAIL PRIZE IN MOLECULAR SCIENCES 2009 AWARDED TO PROFESSOR MOSTAFA EL-SAYED

The Editors of the leading international journal Chemical Physics Letters are pleased to announce that the second Ahmed Zewail Prize in Molecular Sciences has been awarded to Professor Mostafa El-Sayed from Georgia Institute of Technology, USA, for his seminal contributions to the understanding of the electronic and molecular dynamics and properties of systems with different length scales, ranging from molecules to nanoparticles to biomedical systems.

Mostafa El-Sayed has made broad fundamental contributions to many research areas in the field of electronic and molecular dynamics. His pioneering experiments have yielded deeper understanding of the mechanisms of electronic dynamics in many systems of different length scales ranging from gaseous molecules; ions; gaseous clusters; molecules in condensed phase; amorphous and crystalline solids; nanoparticles and photo biological systems.

The Ahmed Zewail Prize will be presented during the 2009 Spring meeting of the American Chemical Society, in Salt Lake City, USA.

Previous Recipients:

• 2007 Professor David Buckingham

The Prize winner will be requested to deliver a lecture at this Symposium, jointly hosted by the ACS Division of Physical Chemistry (PHYS) and Elsevier. He/she will also be asked to invite 3 - 4 colleagues to each deliver a supporting lecture covering their work in a related field. The Symposium will be followed by a reception sponsored by Elsevier. Elsevier is the publisher of Chemical Physics Letters.

AHMED ZEWAIL PRIZE IN MOLECULAR SCIENCES 2007 AWARDED TO PROFESSOR DAVID BUCKINGHAM

Professor David Buckingham has been awarded the Ahmed Zewail Prize for his pioneering contributions to the understanding of optical, electric and magnetic properties of molecules.

David Buckingham has made many original theoretical and experimental contributions to the molecular sciences. His research has provided a fundamental understanding of how molecules are perturbed by electromagnetic radiation, magnetic and electric fields, and other molecules.

ABOUT THE AHMED ZEWAIL PRIZE IN MOLECULAR SCIENCES

The Ahmed Zewail Prize in Molecular Sciences is awarded on a biennial basis to an individual scientist who has made significant and creative contributions, particularly those of a fundamental nature, to any of the disciplines of molecular sciences. The awardee’s research activities may cover theoretical and/or experimental aspects of studies in all phases of matter and biological systems.

The Prize consists of a monetary award of US$ 20,000, a Gold Medal, and a certificate. The awarding of the Prize will take place at the Ahmed Zewail Prize Award Symposium at the ACS Spring National Meetings.
