The IIN Ryan Fellows host and welcome Professor Jeffrey Dick, Richard B. Wetherill Associate Professor of Chemistry at Purdue University.
Jeffrey E. Dick received a B.S. in Chemistry from Ball State University in 2013 and then embarked on graduate studies under the guidance of Prof. Allen J. Bard at the University of Texas at Austin. In 2018, Prof. Dick began his independent career at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is currently the Richard B. Wetherill Associate Professor of Chemistry at Purdue University. Over the past 6 years, Prof. Dick’s scientific discoveries have spanned interdisciplinary fields, including the discovery that enzyme kinetics are inversely proportional to nanoreactor size, the synthesis of high entropy alloy nanoparticles at room temperature, the quantification of charge distribution for energy storage devices, the synthesis of reactive radical salts, and the elucidation of nanometric motions of adsorbed microdroplets.
These scientific pursuits have been recognized by several awards, including the 2024 National Fresenius Award, 2024 Early Career Investigator Award (Analytical Chemistry & ACS Measurement Science Au), Analyst Emerging Investigator Lectureship, 2023 ACS ANYL Findeis Award, 2023 Pittcon Achievement Award, 2023 Royce Murray Young Investigator Award, 2023 Hach Distinguished Lectureship, the 2021 Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship, and the 2021 NSF CAREER Award.
