Furche wins two prestigious chemistry awards

Filipp Furche, associate professor of chemistry at UC Irvine, has received two prestigious awards. The Fonds der Chemischen Industrie (Germany’s Chemical Industry Fund) has awarded him with a Lecturer’s Scholarship, running for a maximum of five years. Just four young chemists win this award annually. The Lise Meitner-Minerva Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry has awarded Furche its Outstanding Young German Scientist Award for 2008. Furche recently came to UCI from the University of Karlsruhe, Germany.
