Excellence in Research and Scholarship Award
Arnold Guloy
MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPEAL OF RESEARCH REAPS REWARD FOR ARNOLD GULOY
Recognized worldwide for his pioneering research and creativity in the field of solid-state chemistry, Arnold M. Guloy, professor of chemistry, is well known for his breakthrough research into a first-time, low-density synthetic form of the chemical element germanium.Guloy is universally viewed by his colleagues as a well-rounded, multidisciplinary collaborator, which played a large part in his earning the Excellence in Research and Scholarship Award for the professor rank.
A supporter from Northwestern University wrote in a letter of support, 鈥淗e publishes highly detailed, well-written papers eloquently describing results of broad scientific interest and placing them in a much greater context so they can be appreciated not only by chemists, but also by materials scientists and condensed matter physicists.鈥�
His nomination form echoes the sentiment, stating that 鈥渢he broad-based nature of his research and the importance his materials have to real-world applications have generated considerable excitement in the solid-state chemistry, physics and materials science and engineering communities.鈥�
Three Awards for Excellence in Research and Scholarship are given each year to faculty who have achieved a substantial record of outstanding research, scholarship or creative activities in their field. Each award carries a $5,000 stipend and a plaque.
