At the Fall 2025 ACS meeting in Washington, D.C., Professor Michele Sarazen of Princeton University was recognized as the 2025 recipient of the ACS Early Career Award in Catalysis. This award acknowledges the creativity, impact, and service in the early stages of the recipient’s independent career in the field of catalysis.
As exemplified by her presentation at ACS titled “(Poly)alkene reactions in zeolites: Moving forward in the face of microscopic reversibility”, Prof. Sarazen’s contributions tackle both fundamental and applied challenges in catalysis science and active site engineering for diverse catalytic processes. Beyond research excellence, this award celebrates her commitment to building and strengthening the network of catalysis researchers, ranging from students to faculty collaborators to industry partners, based on her years of service to the catalysis community.
