The Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI) honored several chemists in late 2011. We congratulate all the awardees and highlight some of our more frequent authors and referees here.
Thomas Maschmeyer (University of Sydney) was awarded the Applied Research Medal, which is presented annually to an RACI member who has contributed significantly towards the development of applied research. Maschmeyer completed his PhD with A. F. Masters at the University of Sydney in 1994. He subsequently worked as a postdoc with Sir J. M. Thomas at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, and became the Assistant Director of the Davy Faraday Laboratories there in 1997. In 1998, he was appointed professor at the Department of Applied Organic and Catalytic Chemistry at the Delft Institute of Chemical Technology. He returned to Australia as an ARC Federation Fellow in late 2003. Maschmeyer is on the Editorial Board of ChemPlusChem and the International Advisory Boards of ChemCatChem and Zeitschrift fΓΌr allgemeine und anorganische Chemie. Maschmeyers research interests are in active-site engineering of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts. He has discussed the catalytic aspects of lightinduced hydrogen generation in water in Angewandte Chemie [1a] and has reported on the catalytic properties of MoS 2 in ChemCatChem. [1b] John Bremner (University of Wollongong) received the RACI Distinguished Fellowship Award in recognition of his contributions both to chemistry and to the RACI.
