Congratulations to Professor Rob Schurko who received one of two University of Windsor Awards for Excellence in Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity - Category C - Established Scholars / Researchers.   The University of Windsor spotlights accomplishments and achievements of faculty at an annual event held to pay tribute to those who have received significant awards and honours for their research or creative activity.

Prof. Schurko was in Israel as a visiting scientist at the Weizmann Institute at the time of the awards ceremony; so, his two of his Ph.D. students, Chris O'Keefe and David Hirsh, accepted the award on his behalf.

His research focuses upon the development and application of techniques in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) for the study of a wide variety of materials, including pharmaceutical compounds, nanoparticles, catalysts, and many more.  To learn more about his research, visit:
