May 12, 2022 – Baekeland Award Symposium

Congratulations to the 2021 Leo Hendrik Baekeland Award Winner!

The 2021 Leo Hendrik Baekeland Award goes to Prof. Prashant K. Jain from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for his contribution to the field of materials science. Dr. Jain’s research has made impressive contributions to our understanding, on an atomic scale, of light-matter interactions, chemical transformation in nature and technology, and the inner workings of metal catalysts and photocatalysts.
