Prof. Dr. C. Austen Angell will receive the 15th Otto Schott Research Award
This year´s Otto Schott Research Award will be presented to glass scientist Prof. Dr. C. Austen Angell from Arizona State University, US.
Prof. Angell’s impressive contribution to the world of glass science is best expressed in numbers:
* 100 of his 523 essays to date have been cited over 100 times;
* Angell’s publications have been cited nearly 58,000 times of which 17,500 coming within the last five years;
* In the last five years, Angell holds a remarkable h-index (ratio for a scientist’s global reputation in professional circles) of 64; his entire career registers 106.
Angell’s findings and achievements have garnered high interest from the glass community. Famous for his independent work on understanding liquid dynamics, the American scientist has focused particularly on the classification of viscous fluids, as well as the description of cooperative processes for liquids in the form of an “energy landscape for cooperative processes in liquids.”
Charles Austen Angell, born in Canberra, Australia in 1933, studied chemistry and metallurgy at the University of Melbourne. His career has made appearances on several significant stages, among them the University of Pennsylvania in the US, the Imperial College of Science in London (PhD, Armstrong medal for graduate research 1959-1961), the Argonne National Laboratory, and Purdue University (1971: Full Professor) in the US. He joined Arizona State University in 1989, where he now serves as Regents’ Professor of Chemistry and...
