David Chock selected for Midgley Award
The Detroit section of the American Chemical Society has selected David P. Chock, technical leader in the Physical & Environmental Sciences Department at Ford Motor Co., as the 2003 recipient of the Thomas Midgley Award. Established in 1965, this award recognizes outstanding research contributions in the field of chemistry related to the automotive industry. Chock is being recognized for his many contributions to the understanding of the atmospheric fate of vehicle emissions. His work has spanned from the subtle nonlinear chemistry of tropospheric ozone formation to the statistics of air quality measurement to the accurate numerical coupling of chemistry and transport in regional air quality models.
