Duane Rogers recently won a poster award at the 2007 Federation of Analytical Chemical & Spectroscopy Societies Conference for his work on the dual-source time-of-flight mass spectrometer for rapid speciation and metallomic analysis.
Jake Shelley recently won a poster award at the 2007 Federation of Analytical Chemical & Spectroscopy Societies Conference for his work on coupling laser ablation with the Flowing Atmospheric-Pressure Afterglow (FAPA) ionization source.
Professor Hieftje has been invited to present the 2007 Amy-Mellon Lecture in Analytical Chemistry at Purdue University on September 18, 2007.
Josh Wiley has recently won a Paul E. Klinge Scholarship based on his academic success and his future career in science. With this recognition, Josh will receive a monetary reward of $4,000. The scholarship is given in memory of Professor Paul Klinge, a former IU faculty member and administrator.
Francisco Andrade's work has been highlighted in the Young Analytical Scientists issue of the Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry.
George Chan has been awarded the 2006 Society for Applied Spectroscopy Graduate Student Award in recognition of outstanding research in the area of spectroscopy.
Stephen L. Buchwald, who was a part of the Hieftje lab while still in high school and is now a professor of chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will receive the Siegfried Medal.  The medal, recognizing his research in process chemistry, was awarded at the University of Zurich, Switzerland on September 21, 2007 during the Siegfried Symposium.
Mike Ramsey (doctorate, 1979), a professor of chemistry at UNC Chapel Hill, has been announced as the winner of the ACS Award in Chromatography.  It will be presented at the ACS meeting in Chicago in March 2007.  The award recognizes his work in micro and nanofluidics.
