Gogotsi Elected AAAS Fellow
Yury Gogotsi, Trustee Chair Professor, has been elected to the rank of Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Each year, since 1874, the AAAS Council elects members whose efforts on behalf of the advancement of science are scientifically and socially distinguished.
Gogotsi was honored for “Outstanding contributions to the field of science and engineering of inorganic materials, for dissemination of knowledge as an editor, and for establishment of innovative educational programs.” He will receive a certificate on Saturday, February 14, 2009, during the AAAS Fellows Forum at the Association’s annual meeting in Chicago.

Gogotsi Publishes Review in Nature Materials
Dr. Yury Gogotsi, Trustee Chair Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, and Dr. Patrice Simon of Universite Paul Sabatier in France have published a review “Materials for electrochemical supercapacitors” in Nature Materials. The ISI impact factor for Nature Materials is about 20, placing it as the leading primary research journal in materials science but also across all related physical sciences.
This is the first ever review on supercapacitors published in a journal of that level, which clearly indicates both the growing attention to the field and Prof. Gogotsi's leadership position in this area. Electrochemical capacitors are projected to play a significant role in electrical energy storage in the future. This work resulted from Prof. Gogotsi's sabbatical stay in Toulouse, France, with Dr. Simon.

Gogotsi Named Fellow of the Electrochemical Society
Professor Yury Gogotsi has been named a Fellow of the Electrochemical Society in recognition of his scientific achievements and service to the society.
Gogotsi is being recognized for "development of new nanostructured carbon materials with tunable structure and properties, which advanced the area of electrochemical capacitors, and major contributions to understanding high-temperature corrosion of nonoxide ceramics." His nomination was supported by three divisions within the society: High Temperature Materials, Fullerenes/Nanotubes, and Batteries.
New Fellows will be recognized at the Plenary Session of the Electrochemical Society's 214th Meeting in Honolulu, HI on Monday, October 13, 2008.
