American Association for Aerosol Research Kenneth T. Whitby Award American Association for Aerosol Research

The Kenneth T. Whitby Award This award honors Kenneth T. Whitby, known for his contributions to aerosol measurement, the study of aerosol properties and behavior, and the nature of atmospheric aerosols. The Kenneth T. Whitby Award “recognizes outstanding technical contributions to aerosol science and technology by a young scientist. The purpose pf the award is to encourage continued work in the field and ongoing support of such endeavors.”

2017 Recipient of the Kenneth T. Whitby Award Cari Dutcher University of Minnesota The Whitby Award recognized Professor Dutcher’s outstanding, early career breakthroughs in a number of fields fundamental to aerosol science, including  theoretically using statistical mechanics to develop new models of surface tension and solute and solvent activity in highly concentrated solutions, and experimentally using microfluidic approaches to explore the surface tension of complex, multiphase, highly concentrated solutions.
