Congratulations to Sawyer Croley
Sawyer Croley, a junior Chemistry major working in the lab of Professor Keith Stevenson has been named as a 2007/2008 Beckman Scholar by the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation. Sawyer's current research is focused on using an electrochemical scheme to synthesize nanoparticles attached to carbon nanotubes. Following synthesis, these nanoparticles will be characterized and their ability to catalyze hydrogenation reactions will be measured. Sawyer comes from San Antonio and plans to plans to pursue graduate school.The Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation established the Beckman Scholars Program to help stimulate, encourage and support research activities in chemistry and biological sciences by exceptionally talented undergraduate students who have the capacity to become national leaders in their fields of endeavor.
