International Recognition for Electrochemical Research at Mainz

Chemistry Professor Siegfried R. Waldvogel from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) has received the 2020 Manuel M. Baizer Award from the Electrochemical Society (ECS), an international association based in the USA supporting scientific inquiry in the field of electrochemistry and solid-state science and technology. Named after American chemist Manuel Mannheim Baizer, the award is considered one of the most prestigious awards in electrochemistry and is presented every two years. Waldvogel is only the second German to ever receive the award, which he will be presented with at the ECS annual conference in Montreal in May 2020. "So far the Manuel M. Baizer Award  has been granted to very few European researchers," said Waldvogel. "This is all the more reason for me to be proud about it, because it illustrates the brilliance and impact of electrochemical research in Mainz."
