UO Chemist Wins
Prestigious Guggenheim Award
|
|
Jeffrey A. Cina, a professor of theoretical physical chemistry at the University of Oregon, has won a 2003 Fellowship Award from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.
He is one of only two 2003 Guggenheim recipients in the Northwest.
Cina, a member of the UO’s Oregon Center for Optics, was singled out for his studies in the area of ultrafast electronic energy transfer. One place where ultrafast transfer occurs is during the initial process in photosynthesis where light energy is transformed into chemical energy—a process of fundamental interest to biologists, chemists and physicists.
At the UO since 1995, Cina will use the cash award of $35,000 to travel to universities in California and Mexico to pursue ongoing collaborations with fellow researchers.
