Three PNNL Researchers Win Industrial Innovation Awards
Dr. Allison Campbell, Dr. Mary Bliss and Dr. Ned Wogman received Regional Industrial Innovation Awards from the American Chemical Society (ACS).
Campbell received the award for the development of a bioceramic coating for implants that will mimic bone growth and extend artificial implant life.
The team of Bliss and Wogman was honored for their collaboration on the development of a glass fiber neutron detector, a revolutionary radiation monitoring system that uses glass fibers to detect the presence of radionuclides such as plutonium.
Campbell is the director of the William R. Wiley Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory at PNNL. Bliss is responsible for managing the only glass fiber drawing facility in the DOE complex. Wogman is the director of PNNL's Homeland Security Program. (announced 8/25/2005)
