2015 ACS Fellows

The American Chemical Society has named 78 members as ACS Fellows. The new fellows will be feted at the society’s fall national meeting in Boston this August.

“I would like to thank the 2015 ACS Fellows for their service to the society and to chemistry,” says ACS President Diane Grob Schmidt, who was herself designated a fellow in 2011. “Their dedication has strengthened our field as well as our society, and their enthusiasm serves as an inspiration to other ACS members.”

The fellows program began in 2009 as a way to recognize and honor ACS members for outstanding achievements in and contributions to science, the profession, and ACS.

Nominations for the 2016 class of ACS Fellows will open in the first quarter of next year. Additional information about the program, including a list of fellows named in earlier years, is available at www.acs.org/fellows.
