Matthew Grandbois ♦ AirJoule
Contribution to the Science/Profession: Recognized for innovations and contributions to specialty chemical end markets, as a champion for professionalism and equitable representation within the chemical industry, and for business leadership within the electronic materials industry.
Contribution to the ACS Community: Recognized for extensive and continuing service and leader- ship in professional development across all levels of ACS governance, especially championing the needs of younger, underrepresented, and industrial chemists throughout the Society.
Richard A. Gross ♦ Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Contribution to the Science/Profession: Recognized for sustained leadership and pioneering in- novations in polymer biocatalysis and biodegradable polymers such as lipase-catalyzed polyester and protease-catalyzed peptide synthesis, and for development of an engineered yeast to synthesize w-hy- droxylfatty acid monomers.
Contribution to the ACS Community: Recognized for sustained leadership in polymer programming, mentoring, publications, and community impact, e.g., 12 symposia at ACS National meetings (1998- 2023, polymer biocatalysis, green polymer chemistry), and editorship of 14 ACS books.
Jennifer A. Hollingsworth ♦ Los Alamos National Laboratory
Contribution to the Science/Profession: Recognized for pioneering contributions to nanomaterials chemistry and applications, especially discovery and elaboration of non-blinking giant quantum dots, and for inspirational mentorship with an emphasis on diversity and inclusion.
Contribution to the ACS Community: Recognized for inspired leadership within the Divisional Ac- tivities Committee, championing new initiatives such as the Convergent Chemistry Community Grant conception-to-implementation, and for dedicated service to Future-of-Meetings initiatives and Divi- sion of Colloid and Surface Chemistry nanomaterials programming.
Dominik Konkolewicz ♦ Miami University, Oxford, OH
Contribution to the Science/Profession: Recognized for pioneering the mechanistic understanding of polymers and soft materials for performance in challenging environments and enabling responsive chemistry for reprocessing of polymers at the end of their life.
Contribution to the ACS Community: Recognized for exceptional service to the ACS Divisions of Polymeric Materials: Science and Engineering and Polymer Chemistry through the development of freely available educational and professional development resources.
