Abstract

AN IMPORTANT FUNCTION OF the annual Pittsburgh Conference & Exhibition on Analytical Chemistry & Applied Spectroscopy is to recognize and honor scientists who havemade outstanding contributions to analytical chemistry and applied spectroscopy. The following awards were presented at Pittcon in Orlando, Fla. (See page 27 for C&EN's coverage of the conference.) Gary Horlick , professor of chemistry at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, received the 2003 Pittsburgh Spectroscopy Award from the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh in recognition of his lifelong contributions to the development and characterization of new methods and systems for elemental analysis. Horlick has pioneered the application of linear image sensors (photodiode arrays) to atomic spectrochemical measurements, work that predated the commercial developments in this area by two decades. Horlick received a B.S. degree from the University of Alberta in 1965 and a Ph.D. degree in 1970 from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. He join...
