Majed Chergui receives the prestigious 2015 Earle K. Plyler Prize
He receives the prize for developing new methods and redefining the boundaries of molecular spectroscopy through extending the temporal and spectral range, and for his pioneering work in ultrafast X-Ray spectroscopy for studies in solution and the solid state.
The prize recognizes and encourages notable contributions to the field of molecular spectroscopy and dynamics. The prize consists of $10,000, an allowance for travel expenses, up to $1000, to attend the meeting at which the prize is to be presented and a certificate citing the contributions made by the recipient. The recipient is invited to contribute a perspective article to the Journal of Chemical Physics. It is presented annually.
To note: in its 37 years of existence, this is the first time that this annual Prize is awarded to a scientist outside North America (USA-Canada)!
