Robert W. Vaughan was at the
center of developments of high-resolution, solid-state NMR
techniques at the time of his untimely death in 1979. At
that time, Dr. Vaughan was very early into his career. His
research has contributed much to our understanding of hydrogen-bonding
in organic and inorganic solids, chemical bonding in metallic
hydrides and metal carbonyl clusters, motion and structure
in polymers, and motion and structure of surface hydroxyl
groups on oxide catalysts.
The
Vaughan Lectures in Chemical Engineering are made possible
by the Robert W. Vaughan memorial fund established by the
friends and associates of Robert Vaughan. The objective of
the Vaughan Lectureship is to honor distinguished young scientists
in any of the fields of Chemical Engineering, Chemical Physics
or Applied Physics.
The 2008 Vaughan Lecturer is David V. Schaffer of the University of California, Berkeley. He spoke on "Molecular Engineering of Stem Cell and Gene Therapeutics." The 2008 Vaughan Lecture took place on Thursday, March 13, 2008 in 106 Spalding Lab, the Hartley Memorial Seminar Room.
