Professor Paul Dyson at EPFL’s School of Basic Sciences has been elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is “the world's largest multidisciplinary scientific society”. This year, the AAAS has honored some of its members with the lifetime title of elected Fellow to recognize their “important contributions to STEM disciplines, including pioneering research, leadership within a given field, teaching and mentoring, fostering collaborations, and advancing public understanding of science.”
One of the new AAAS Fellows in the Section of Chemistry, is Professor Paul J. Dyson from EPFL’s Institute of Chemical Sciences and Engineering (ISIC). Professor Dyson’s research includes the design and study of new organometallic drugs, the design of catalysts and the study of their mechanisms, and the design, properties and applications of ionic liquids.
The newly elected AAAS Fellows will be honored at a virtual induction ceremony on February 13th, 2021, just after the AAAS Annual Meeting. The honorees will receive official certificates and rosette pins in gold and blue, colors that symbolize science and engineering respectively.
