2022 Bronze Medal Award
AWARD CITATION
The group is recognized for overcoming decades-old barriers in the simultaneous measurement of molecular structure and rheology in complex fluids at the extreme shear rates routinely applied in modern manufacturing. Their Capillary RheoSANS is a first-in-world device capable of addressing critical challenges in the petroleum, specialty-chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. Overcoming a two-orders-of-magnitude gap between their invention's real-world use and prior capabilities, the tool is now used by researchers across academia and industry.
