Three LSA faculty members, whose fields include chemistry and astronomy, have been named 2019 Cottrell Scholars by the Research Corporation for Science Advancement, a foundation dedicated to science.

Each of the 24 recipients is identified as a leader in integrating science teaching and research at a top U.S. research university or a primarily undergraduate institution, and is also awarded $100,000.

The University of Michigan winners and the work for which they were honored are:

• Charles C.L. McCrory, assistant professor of chemistry — Selective Electrocatalysis by Polymer-Encapsulated Catalysts: The Role of Charge and Substrate Transport on Catalytic Efficiency.

• Alison Narayan, assistant professor of chemistry — Biocatalytic Reactions for Selective, Sustainable Synthesis and Engaging Graduate Student Instructors for Improved Outcomes in Organic Chemistry.

• Emily Rauscher, assistant professor of astronomy — Exo-Cartography: Resolving Three-Dimensional Images of Extrasolar Worlds.

The Cottrell Scholar program awards early career teacher-scholars in chemistry, physics and astronomy by providing significant discretionary awards for research.
