Congratulations to Adam Morgan, winner of the Dr. Peter R. Norton Memorial Award in Chemistry.
Dr. Peter Norton joined the Chemistry Department as a faculty member in 1986 when he left Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories to found Interface Science Western (ISW), an interdisciplinary research group at Western. His work focused on nanoscale material designs and properties, as well as surface chemistry and dynamics. He remained in the Department until his retirement in 2011. Dr. Norton was a distinguished scientist and lecturer. He was named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and received numerous awards, including the Parravano Catalysis Award, the Hellmuth Prize and the Polanyi Lecture Award. However, he was most passionate about his mentorship of graduate students and young post-doctoral professionals and received great satisfaction from watching their career development and success.
