Abstract:
For more than 40 years, Professor Charles T. Campbell has been a highly active researcher, a mentor, and an innovator in the fields of surface science and catalysis. As a young man, he received a PhD in physical chemistry from the University of Texas in Austin, under the supervision of Professor Mike White, and did postdoctoral studies at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich under the guidance of Nobel laurate Professor Gerhard Ertl. After a brief period working at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Charlie moved to Indiana University in Bloomington, and from there to the University of Washington in Seattle, where he rapidly established a world leading laboratory in surface science and taught several generations of students who are now doing research at universities, national laboratories, and industrial laboratories all over the world. For ten years, he was the Editor-in-chief of Surface Science, and is now at the helm of Surface Science Reports. Charlie has received many awards for his fundamental contributions to surface science and chemistry, including the Arthur W. Adamson Award of the ACS, the Gerhard Ertl Lecture Award, the Robert Burwell Award/Lectureship of the North American Catalysis Society, the Medard W. Welch Award of the AVS, the Gauss Professorship of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences, and recently the ACS Catalysis Award for Exceptional Achievements.
