The Victor K. LaMer award is given to an outstanding Ph.D. thesis in colloid and surface chemistry accepted by a US or Canadian University within the last three years. Dr. Daniel Beltran won this prestigious award for his doctoral thesis supervised by Professor Michael Bevan on the use of energy and diffusivity landscapes to measure colloidal interactions and to model colloidal dynamic behavior.
Dr. Beltran will give the LaMer Plenary lecture at the ACS Colloid and Surface Science Symposium this summer.
