NEWS EAS Award Winners The 1993 Eastern Analytical Symposium award winners are E. H. Baughman of Amoco Corp., Peter Carr of the University of Minnesota, J. J. Kirkland of Rockland Technologies, and James N. Shoolery, formerly of Varian. The awards will be presented during the 32nd meeting of the EAS in Somerset, NJ, Nov. 15-19. Brief biographical sketches follow. Ε. Η. Baughman of Amoco Corp. will receive the EAS Award in Near- Infrared Spectroscopy, sponsored by NIRSystems, Inc. He received his B.S. degree in education from Con- cordia Teachers College (NE) in 1964, his M.A. degree in liberal studies from Reed College (OR) in 1968, and his Ph.D. in physical chemistry from the University of Minnesota in 1973. He spent two years at DuPont doing process development on nylons before joining Amoco in 1976. Baughman holds five patents and has been active in the Center for Process Analytical Chemistry. His re- search focuses on the effect of sample temperature on the near-IR spectrum, hydrocarbon streams, and method sensitivity to spectrometer-induced changes. Peter Carr, professor of chemistry at the University of Minnesota, will receive the EAS Award for Achieve- ments in Analytical Chemistry. He received his B.S. degree in 1965 from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn and his Ph.D. in analytical chemistry in 1969 from The Penn- sylvania State University. After a year as a research associate at Stan- ford University, Carr accepted a teaching position at the University of Georgia. He joined the faculty of the University of Minnesota in 1977. Carr's research interests include bioanalytical, ther- moanalytical, clinical, and electroanalytical chemistry; liquid and affinity chromatography; immobilized en- zymes; and ion-selective electrodes. J. J. Kirkland of Rockland Tech- nologies will receive the EAS Award in Separation Science, sponsored by DuPont. Kirkland received his A.B. and M.S. degrees from Emory Uni- versity in 1948 and 1949, respec- tively, and his Ph.D. from the Uni- versity of Virginia in 1953. His industrial career spans more than 40 years at Hercules and DuPont. He recently retired from DuPont and helped to start Rockland Technologies. Kirkland's honors include a D.Sc. from Emory Univer- sity, the ACS Chromatography Award, the Dal Nogare Award in Chromatography, and the Anachem Award. His research focuses on HPLC and FFF. James N. Shoolery, formerly of Varian, will receive the EAS Award in Magnetic Resonance, sponsored by Varian. Shoolery received his B.S. degree in 1948 from the Uni- versity of California and his Ph.D. in 1952 from the California Institute of Technology. In his 40 years with Varian, he served as laboratory di- rector, marketing manager, senior chemist, and an independent consultant. Shoolery received the Sargent Award in 1964. His re- search contributions have been in the areas of micro- wave spectroscopy and chemical effects in NMR.

Brief biographical sketches follow.

Ε. Η. Baughman of Amoco Corp. will receive the EAS Award in Near-Infrared Spectroscopy, sponsored by NIRSystems, Inc. He received his B.S. degree in education from Con­cordia Teachers College (NE) in 1964, his M.A. degree in liberal studies from Reed College (OR) in 1968, and his Ph.D. in physical chemistry from the University of

Minnesota in 1973. He spent two years at DuPont doing process development on nylons before joining Amoco in 1976.

Baughman holds five patents and has been active in the Center for Process Analytical Chemistry. His re­search focuses on the effect of sample temperature on the near-IR spectrum, hydrocarbon streams, and method sensitivity to spectrometer-induced changes.

Peter Carr, professor of chemistry at the University of Minnesota, will receive the EAS Award for Achieve­ments in Analytical Chemistry. He received his B.S. degree in 1965 from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn and his Ph.D. in analytical chemistry in 1969 from The Penn­sylvania State University.
