11:10 a.m., Dec. 2, 2008----The Society of Rheology has established a prestigious award for young rheologists in the name of the late Arthur B. Metzner, H. Fletcher Brown Professor Emeritus of Chemical Engineering at the University of Delaware at the time of his death in 2006.
Metzner is internationally recognized as a pioneer in the field of rheology, the science of deformation and flow of matter.
The award, which will consist of a medal and a $7,500 honorarium, will be given annually to a member of the society who is younger than 35 and who has distinguished him or herself in rheological research, practice, or service. Recipients will be chosen by an appointed committee.
Establishment of the award will be celebrated at the 81st annual meeting of the Society of Rheology, which will take place in Madison, Wis., from Oct. 18-22, 2009.
“We are extremely pleased and honored that the world's premier scientific society for the important field of rheology has chosen to honor our recently departed and dearly missed colleague, Art Metzner, by naming a new, prestigious award in his honor,” says Norman Wagner, Alvin B. and Julia O. Stiles Professor of Chemical Engineering and chairperson of the Department of Chemical Engineering.
“This award honors Art's dedicated mentoring of young rheologists here at Delaware as well as internationally,” Wagner continues. “I can speak from my own experience that Art took a deep, personal interest in the careers of young scientists, serving as a mentor, a friend, and an example of a true scholar to many of us around the globe.”
Metzner, who was honored with a memorial symposium in 2007, is remembered as a distinguished educator and researcher.
A native of Alberta, Canada, he received his bachelor's degree from the University of Alberta and his doctorate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He joined the University of Delaware faculty in 1953.
Metzner's work is documented not only in some 130 research publications but also in textbooks, where his name appears on the Otto-Metzner correlation for power consumption and the White-Metzner equation.
During his lifetime, Metzner won awards from all of the major professional organizations in his field. Metzner was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1979 and received UD's highest faculty honor, the Francis Alison Award, in 1981.
“The recent recognition of current and past members of our chemical engineering faculty reflects the quality and reputation of the department,” says Michael Chajes, dean of the University of Delaware's College of Engineering. “Art Metzner, who also was recently named to the American Institute of Chemical Engineers' list of 100 Chemical Engineers of the Modern Era, had a remarkable impact on the department, the University, and the field. It is a testament to his accomplishments that an award has been established in his name by a major national scientific organization.”
