Sarah Trimpin, assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry at Wayne State University (WSU) (Detroit, Michigan) will receive the Pittsburgh Conference Achievement Award this morning at Pittcon 2013. The award, sponsored jointly by the Pittsburgh Conference and the Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh, recognizes individuals who have outstanding achievements within 10 years after completion of their PhD.
Trimpin and her group at WSU have published 24 papers, a number of reviews, and book chapters related to research in mass spectrometry. She received BS and MS degrees from the University of Konstanz (Konstanz, Germany) and her PhD from the Max-Planck-Institute for Polymer Research (Mainz, Germany). She held a joint postdoctoral position at Oregon State University (Corvallis, Oregon) and Oregon Health & Science University (Portland, Oregon) with Max Deinzer and Peter Spencer and was a research associate at Indiana University (Bloomington, Indiana) with David Clemmer. She is the recipient of the ASMS Research Award, DuPont Young Professor Award, Eli Lilly Young Investigator Award in Analytical Chemistry, Schaap Faculty Scholar Award, NSF CAREER Award, and is a Waters Centers of Innovation Program Honoree.
