Cypress News and Product Announcements
2006 SEAC Young Investigator Award Cypress Systems and ESA would like to congratulate Dr. Keith J. Stevenson, Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at The University of Texas at Austin, the recipient of 2006 Young Investigator Award, presented annually by the Society for Electroanalytical Chemistry (SEAC) and sponsored by ESA and Cypress Systems.
At the University of Texas at Austin, Stevenson's research concentrates on the creation of advanced functional electrode materials, as well as, on new microscopic tools for their characterization. From a more applied standpoint, this information is useful for the design and optimization of superior chemical technologies associated with the areas of chemical sensing, energy storage/conversion, separations, photonics, and device miniaturization.
Keith J. Stevenson, Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at The University of Texas at Austin, will receive the 2006 Young Investigator Award, presented annually by the Society for Electroanalytical Chemistry (SEAC).
Stevenson received his BA in Chemistry from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington in 1989. Subsequently, he joined ATI Technologies, Inc. as an Analytical Chemist and focused on method development in the environmental testing of soil and water. In 1992, he left industry to pursue a Ph.D. in Physical/Analytical Chemistry at the University of Utah. Working under the direction of Prof. Henry. S. White, his graduate work focused on the development of electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (E-STM) and associated techniques for studying adsorption phenomena at solid/liquid interfaces.
In 1997, he moved to Northwestern University to work with Prof. Joseph T. Hupp where his postdoctoral research activities included the study of mesoporous materials, the development of integrated scanning probe and optical imaging techniques, and the improvement of optical-based chemical sensors.

He is a recipient of a NSF CAREER award (2002), the Conference of Southern Graduate Schools New Scholar Award (2004), and is presently the Jack S. Josey Fellow in Energy Studies. He is also a member of the Center for Nano- and Molecular Science and Technology and the Texas Materials Institute at the University of Texas at Austin.
This award is sponsored by the Cypress Systems division of ESA Biosciences.

David C. Grahame Award of the Physical Electrochemistry Division-
Henry S. White will receive the David C. Grahame Award of the Physical Electrochemistry
Division during the Physical Electrochemistry Division Luncheon and Business Meeting on
Monday, May 16 at 1215h in Portneuf-St. Foy, on the first floor of the Hilton Québec City.
He will present his award address, “Random Walks and Electron-Transfer Rates at Nanometer-
Scale Electrodes,” as part of the Electrocatalysis Symposium on Monday, May 16 in Room 202
on Level 2 of the Québec City Convention Center.
The David C. Grahame Award Reception will be held on Wednesday, May 18 at 1830h in the Solarium, Level 3, of the Québec City Convention Center.
HENRY S. WHITE received his BS degree in chemistry from the University of North Carolina (1978) and a PhD degree in chemistry from the University of Texas (1983), during which time he learned electrochemistry, respectively, in the Murray and Bard camps. Following a postdoctoral appointment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he joined the faculty of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Minnesota. During a nine-year period at Minnesota, he was a McKnight and a Shell Professor of Chemical Engineering. In 1993, he moved to the University of Utah, where he is currently a Professor in the Department of Chemistry.Professor White’s research spans experimental and fundamental electrochemistry, with interests in biological, physical, and materials chemistry. His group has contributed to electrochemistry in nanoscale domains, interfacial electric field effects on the behavior of surface-confined redox molecules, electro-osmotic transport of drugs through human skin, application of magnetic fields in electrochemistry, scanning electrochemical microscope methodology for visualizing and quantifying porous membrane transport, and theory describing the interplay of molecular transport and the electrical double layer. Current research interests include electrochemistry in ultrathin-layer cells, the nanopore electrode sensor, electrochemical particle counting methods, collision theory at nanoscale electrodes, and magnetoelectrochemistry using magnetic electrodes. He is currently the President of the Society of Electroanalytical Chemistry and an Associate Editor of the Journal of the American Chemical Society. He is the recipient of the C. N. Reilley Award of the Society of Electroanalytical Chemistry (2000), the Faraday Medal of the Royal Society of Chemistry, Electrochemistry Group (2002), the ACS Analytical Division Award in Electrochemistry (2004), the Students Choice Teaching Award (2003), and the Distinguished Creative Research Award (2004) at the University of Utah. With Professor Richard M. Crooks, he co-founded the Potter’s Lodge Meeting on Electrochemistry (1996). Professor White is a past vice-chair and chair of the Twin Cities Section of The Electrochemical Society (1988-1990), and has organized a number of ECS symposia over the past 20 years.
All of us at ESA and Cypress Systems wish to congratulate Professor Alan M.
Bond, R. L. Martin Distinguished Professor of Chemistry, at Monash University,
Clayton, Australia, the 2005 Charles N. Reilley Awardee in Electroanalytical
Chemistry. The award is sponsored by the Society for Electroanalytical Chemistry
(SEAC). Professor Bond’s more than 35 years of research has addressed the
theory, instrumentation and application of modern electrochemical methods
to a variety of inorganic, biochemical and analytical problems.
Professor Bond has published nearly 600 papers and two books. He has received
numerous prestigious honors including election to the Australian Academy of
Sciences (1990), the Royal Society of Chemistry Award for Electrochemistry
(1997), The Hinshelwood Lectureship, University of Oxford (1998) and the Faraday
Medal of the Royal Society of Chemistry Electrochemistry Group (2000).
This award is sponsored by the Cypress Systems division of ESA Biosciences.

Cypress is pleased to announce the following
new products:
New electrodes
Our popular "no-leak"
reference electrode is now offered in lengths of 4.5, 12, and 25.4 cm.
The 2 mm diameter tip size makes this electrode ideal for use with low volume
static flow cells. The ultra low loss of internal electrolyte solution
gives this reference exception reliability and long-life.
Cypress has added pH
electrodes to its line of redox and reference electrodes. These pH electrodes
feature 3.5 mm to 8 mm diameter tips of varying lengths that can be protected
with a guard shield or encased in polymeric material to minimize breakage.
These electrodes exhibit excellent precision, reliability and life and carry
a one-year warranty. The long stem micro-pH electrodes are great for measuring
pH solutions in NMR tubes. Ask for quantity discounts. See (linked to pH electrodes).
