Bin Chen Receives the John C. Jamieson Award

Bin Chen, a Texaco Postdoctoral Fellow, is the 2010 recipient of the John C. Jamieson Award. The Jamieson Award is given for outstanding achievement in the field of high pressure research by a graduate student or postdoctoral researcher. This award is given every year, alternating at the Gordon Research Conference (Research at High Pressure) in one year and the AIRAPT Conference the next year. Bin will accept the award at the GRC this summer. John Calhoun Jamieson (1924 - 1983) was Professor of Geophysics at The University of Chicago. Most of his research used static high pressures. He also performed shock experiments at Los Alamos and SRI International. The John C. Jamieson Memorial Fund, which supports the Award, was established by a number of Jamieson's former students and colleagues. The Fund is managed by Bob Schock, a former postdoc of Jamieson and currently Director of Studies for the World Energy Council (WEC) in London. Congratulations Bin!
