Congratulations to Emeritus Professor David Dows
David Dows is presented by Dr. Janette Brown, Executive Director of the USC Emeriti Center the 2013 Paul E. Hadley Faculty Award for Service to USC. This Award recognizes the outstanding voluntary contributions toward enhancing the overall quality of university life for students, faculty, staff, alumni, retirees, or other members of the USC community, and have contributed to the positive collegial spirit of the Trojan Family.
Congratulations to Professor Arieh Warshel
Congratulations to Professor Arieh Warshel,winner of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2013 on Oct. 9 to Warshel and two colleagues for developing the key principles behind computer simulations that are now indispensable in the study of chemical reactions

Chemical & Engineering News highlighted work by USC chemists Priscilla D. Antunez, David H. Webber, and Richard L. Brutchey in which they prepared highly conductive WSe2 nanosheets using a simple solution-phase method (Chem. Mater. 2013, 25, 2385). The relative ease by which these materials can be prepared when compared to more laborious traditional methods may make them more tractable for applications in photocatalysis.
