Clarkson University Associate Professor of Chemistry & Biomolecular Science Mario Wriedt, the Kodak CAMP Distinguished Professor, has been awarded the Clarkson Award for Excellence in Research & Scholarship.
The Clarkson Award for Excellence in Research & Scholarship is granted annually to recognize research by a recently tenured faculty member who has had a significant impact on his or her chosen field of study.
Wriedt’s research expertise is in the design and structure-property relationships of new functional solid-state materials for energy applications. Six doctoral students and ten undergraduate students conduct research in Wriedt's Functional Materials Design & X-ray Diffraction Laboratory.
He has authored more than 75 research papers that have been published in peer-reviewed international journals and he is the co-inventor of two patents.
Wriedt's work has been featured on the covers of the Journal of the American Chemical Society, Dalton Transaction, and CrystEngComm, and disseminated when he was an invited speaker at a Gordon Research Conference.
He has received several awards and fellowships including the American Chemical Association's PRF DNI award and the National Science Foundation’s CAREER award for his work on the design of a new class of advanced porous materials for energy applications. He is a member of the American Crystallographic Association and the American Chemical Society.
Wriedt received his Ph.D. and master of science degree in chemistry from Kiel University, Germany.
