In this award, funded by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Prof. Dor Ben-Amotz of Purdue University and his graduate research students will study the aqueous solvation of hydrophobic species with a combined experimental and theoretical study. The aim of the program is to critically test aspects of recent theories on solvation that emphasize the importance of solvent expulsion around non-polar molecules (dewetting). The results of these studies should help to explain a broad variety of important processes: from the formation of biological membranes to self-assembly, molecular recognition, chemical separation and environmental remediation.Besides the broad impact of the research on several areas of science, Prof. Ben-Amotz will continue to provide his research students with excellent training in experimental as well as theoretical methods.

在这个奖项中，由化学系实验物理化学计划资助，普渡大学的Dor Ben-Amotz教授和他的研究生将通过实验和理论研究相结合的方式研究疏水物质的水溶剂化。 该计划的目的是严格测试最近的溶剂化理论方面，强调非极性分子（去湿）周围的溶剂驱逐的重要性。 这些研究结果将有助于解释生物膜的形成、自组装、分子识别、化学分离和环境修复等一系列重要过程。除了对多个科学领域产生广泛影响外，Ben-Amotz教授将继续为他的研究生提供实验和理论方法方面的优秀培训。
