A Laboratory-Directed Research and Development (LDRD) proposal put forward by NMT Division has been funded at $900k each year for five years. The proposal, "A New Paradigm in Separations: Molecular Recognition Membranes," was entered in the Competency Development (CD) component of LDRD. This CD proposal spokesperson was Gordon Jarvinen, who is collaborating with Mary Barr and Daniel Kathios, also of NMT; Kent Abney, Rebecca Chamberlin, Benjamin Mattes, Mark McCleskey, Nancy Sauer, Norman Schroeder, and Barbara Smith of CST Division; Robert Dye and Betty Jorgensen of MST; and Antonio Redondo of T Division.

Dana Christensen, NMT Deputy Division Director, received his Ph.D. from the Department of Chemical Engineering, New Mexico State University in May this year. His dissertation was titled "Decision Making in a Non-profit Engineering Environment."

David Kolman (NMT-6) was the recipient of the 1996 Morris Cohen Award from The Electrochemical Society in recognition of outstanding graduate research in the field of corrosion science and/or engineering. The award was for his Ph.D. research performed at the Center for Electrochemical Science and Engineering at the University of Virginia. The research focussed on the passivity and bare surface kinetics on b-titanium alloys in aqueous chloride solutions and their relevancy to environmentally assisted cracking. The award will be presented in September at the 192nd meeting of the Electrochemical Society in Paris, France.
