Zhongtian Mao Wins 2 Awards at National AVS Symposium
Graduate student Zhongtian Mao won TWO prestigious graduate student awards at the 66th International AVS Symposium in Columbus, Ohio this year!
- The Morton M. Traum Award of the AVS Surface Science Division
- The Fundamental Discoveries in Heterogeneous Catalysis Graduate Student Presentation Award
Congratulations to Zhongtian for his well-deserved awards!! They are based on his discovery of a fundamental equation that equates the apparent activation energy in reaction mechanisms to a weighted average of the enthalpies of the rate-controlling transition states and intermediates, where the weighting factor is the degree of rate control for each species.
