Günther Laukien PrizeThe Laukien Prize was established in 1999 to honor the memory of Professor Günther Laukien, a co-founder of Bruker. The Günther Laukien Prize carries a monetary award of $20,000 funded by Bruker and is intended to recognize cutting-edge experimental NMR research with a high probability of enabling beneficial new applications. The Prize recipient(s) will also deliver the opening Plenary lecture at the ENC conference. Nominations for the Laukien Prize are now being accepted, and the award will be announced at the next ENC. Preference will be given to recently published research. However, in some cases, the Laukien Prize may be awarded for cumulative achievements over a longer period. | Consider Submitting a Nomination for ENC 2022 Nomination deadline is October 31 |
2021 Recipient The Günther Laukien Prize recognizes “cutting edge NMR research with a high probability of enabling beneficial new applications”. The awardee this year, Professor Gareth Morris of the University of Manchester, is a paragon for the Laukien Prize as he has a long history of inventing innovative NMR methods.
Gareth Morris was awarded the Corday-Morgan Medal of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 1988, a Leverhulme Fellowship in 1996, the Royal Society of Chemistry Industrially-Sponsored Award in Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in 2001, the Russell Varian Prize in 2011, and the James N Shoolery Prize in 2015. He was a visiting professor at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris in 2010 and was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 2014. He has co-authored over 260 papers, and has supervised 27 PhD theses in chemistry, one in pharmacy education, and one in music. He is a co-editor of Progress in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, was an associate Editor of the Encyclopedia of Magnetic Resonance (eMagRes) from 2005 to 2017, and serves on the advisory boards of Chemical Physics Letters, eMagRes, the Journal of Magnetic Resonance, and Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry. |
