The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada has awarded an E.W.R Steacie Memorial Fellowship to Prof. Tomislav 贵谤颈拧膷颈膰, to support his work in an innovative branch of chemistry that aims to develop environmentally friendly alternatives to solvent-based chemical processes. 聽

NSERC awards up to six of these two-year, $250,000 fellowships annually to enhance the career development of outstanding and highly promising scientists and engineers.

贵谤颈拧膷颈膰聽is a leading researcher in the fast-growing field known as 鈥渕echanochemistry鈥� 鈥� an approach that uses mechanical force, rather than solvents, to drive chemical reactions. 鈥淗is research has uncovered important information about how reactions occur in this process, which will help 贵谤颈拧膷颈膰 and his team find ways to use mechanochemistry to recreate reactions in a way that is faster, more efficient and more energy-effective than with solvents,鈥� .

鈥淭he Steacie Memorial Fellowship is an amazing recognition of my research group's efforts to create viable alternatives to the conventional -- and often wasteful -- approaches to chemical synthesis,鈥� 贵谤颈拧膷颈膰 said. 鈥淭he generous award that comes with the Fellowship will enable us to focus fully on developing 'Chemistry 2.0' 鈥� a cleaner, solvent-free system of chemical synthesis that could replace traditional solvent-based approaches in research and industry.

鈥淭he two years dedicated exclusively to research in sustainable and green chemistry will enable us to establish the principles and exciting new mechanisms of this approach,鈥� he added. 鈥淚t will also enable us to hammer out the best ways to adapt this approach for cleaner, energy- and materials-efficient manufacturing."

鈥淲e are grateful to NSERC for its support of important research projects, including Professor 贵谤颈拧膷颈膰鈥檚 innovative efforts to create safer solvent alternatives,鈥� said Suzanne Fortier, McGill鈥檚 Principal and Vice-Chancellor. 鈥淐ongratulations to Prof. 贵谤颈拧膷颈膰 on this well-deserved recognition of his advances in decreasing pollution from, and increasing the efficiency of, crucial chemical reactions and processes.鈥�

贵谤颈拧膷颈膰 last year was one of three early-career researchers to receive the McGill .

贵谤颈拧膷颈膰 already shares his findings with the pharmaceutical and mining sectors, 鈥渢wo large industries that could greatly reduce their environmental impact and cost of doing business by doing away with solvents,鈥� NSERC added.
