CENTC investigator Dr. Elon Ison, assistant professor of chemistry at North Carolina State University, received an Early Career Development Award from the National Science Foundation. The award is one of NSF’s highest honors for early-career science and engineering faculty.Ison’s five-year, $530,000 grant will fund research related to his proposal, titled Rational Design of Green Catalysts for Chemical Oxidations. His goal is to develop chemical methods that reduce waste and environmentally hazardous materials and could potentially lead to more efficient use of chemical and natural resources, such as oil, coal, natural gas and biomass, to generate energy.
