One of Nobel laureate Dr. M. Stanley Whittingham’s earliest memories of ECS (he’s been a member for more than 50 years!) dates back to receiving a Young Author Award: “…when I got a Young Author Award and went to the Shamrock Hotel in Houston, the reception was around the pool, and the Texas Rangers came on their horses. And that was amazing!”1, 2

Elizabeth (Lisa) J. Podlaha-Murphy is Chair of the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Clarkson University. Her research focuses on the electrodeposition of novel alloy and composite materials for applications including water splitting for hydrogen generation, corrosion-resistant coatings, nanostructured materials for micro- and nanoscale devices, and the modeling of battery and electrochemical systems. Prof. Podlaha-Murphy earned her BS in Chemical Engineering with a concentration in materials science and Honors Program distinction in 1986. After completing an MS and working…
