The groundbreaking electrochemist is honored for her work developing and understanding electrodes and catalysts for use in electrochemical and photoelectrochemical applications critical to creating a sustainable future.

The Enid H. Anderson Professor of English and Steenbock Professor of Physical Sciences in the Department of Chemistry are honored for their contributions to research, teaching and service.

UW–Madison employs over 2,100 teaching assistants (TAs) across its 200-plus undergraduate major and certificate programs. Whether teaching in lecture halls, classrooms, and labs on campus or leading learning opportunities in the wider community, their work is vital to fulfilling the university’s educational mission and the Wisconsin Idea.

Being honored are Andrew Buller, assistant professor of chemistry, and Jose Israel Rodriguez, assistant professor of mathematics.

Through their careers at the university and their continued support of UW-Madison, Martha and Charles Casey champion the people and programs that spark progress.

Analyzing the chemical composition of an ancient tapestry, graduate student Erin Birdsall discovered her niche.

The Institute will honor Ken Dill, a biophysicist from Stonybrook University, for contributions to theoretical and computational chemistry.

John Berry is a transition metal chemist. That means he experiments with elements in “the big middle part of the periodic table” that are able to bond with one another in strange and interesting ways, producing electronic properties that can initiate new types of chemistry—including in the field of catalysis.

Chemistry graduate student Erin Birdsall learned that you could work as a scientist in an art museum, so she applied for an internship as a “conservation chemist” in the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Funding from the Biotechnology Training Program here at UW made it possible.
