Purnendu Dasgupta, a Jenkins Garrett professor of chemistry at the University of Texas at Arlington, has been awarded the 2015 American Chemical Society Division of Analytical Chemistry J Calvin Giddings Award for Excellence in Education.
The national award recognises a scientist, who has enhanced the professional development of analytical chemistry students, developed and published innovative experiments, designed and improved equipment or teaching labs and published influential textbooks or significant articles on teaching analytical chemistry.
"I am especially honoured by this award. I have been recognised for some research accomplishments or other in the past but this one recognises for the first time my commitment to and love for teaching and that is why it is so gratifying," Mr Dasgupta said.
As the recipient of the award, Mr Dasgupta will receive a plaque and cash prize. He will also attend the ACS national conference in August in Boston, where he will address and participate in an awards symposium on education in analytical chemistry.
"Dr Dasgupta is remarkably accomplished, and his work in analytical chemistry addresses some of the most critical issues in our world," President Karbhari said.
