van Veggel awarded

Dr. Frank van Veggel (chemistry) has won the inaugural Award for Research Excellence in Materials Chemistry from the Canadian Society of Chemistry (CSC). As the Canada Research Chair in Supramolecular Photonic Materials, van Veggel investigates the design of new materials with optical and magnetic properties—research that has huge application potential for emerging optical communication and computing technologies, and diagnostics. The CSC is one of three constituent societies of the Chemical Institute of Canada.
