The New York section of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy is pleased to announce the Undergraduate and Graduate Student Award winners for Academic Year 2007.
The Student Awards recognize excellence in the field of Applied Spectroscopy. The field of Applied Spectroscopy is broadly defined, and includes the use of traditional atomic and molecular spectroscopic techniques as well as the use of spectroscopic detectors in hyphenated instruments, spectroscopic detectors in microscopy, imaging and related fields.
One graduate and up to five undergraduate awards are presented. The graduate awardee will receive a $500 cash award, a plaque, a one year membership to the SAS, plus an invitation to the student awards dinner. The New York Section Graduate Student Awardee will also be nominated for the National SAS Student Award which will be presented at the 28th Meeting of the Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies (FACSS). Each undergraduate awardee will receive a $100 cash award, a plaque, a one year membership to the SAS, plus an invitation to the student awards dinner.
