Linsey Seitz Wins ACS CATL Early Career Award
Award recognizes and encourage accomplishments and innovation of unusual merit by an individual in early stages of their career
Northwestern Engineering’s Linsey Seitz has won the American Chemical Society (ACS) Division of Catalysis Science and Technology’s (CATL) Early Career Award.
Seitz, assistant professor of chemical and biological engineering, focuses her research on the understanding of catalytic reactions and materials using insights from electrochemistry and spectroscopy towards the development of catalysts with enhanced activity, selectivity, and stability. Her work lies at the interface of chemical engineering, materials science, and physics with the goal of improving the efficiency and technological viability of clean energy and chemical conversion processes.
This award recognizes and encourage accomplishments and innovation of unusual merit by an individual in early stages of their career. The CATL’s goal to bridge the gap between the more fundamental aspects of catalysis, such as surface science and computational modeling, and applied catalytic reaction engineering.
Seitz will be recognized at a half-day symposium in her honor during the Aug. 18-22 ACS National Meeting in Denver.
