The first Uwe D. Neue Award was presented at HPLC 2013 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, to Joseph Jack Kirkland on June 18, 2013. Martin Gilmar and Georges Guichon presented Kirkland with the award, which was followed by a keynote presentation called Optimized Superficially Porous Particles for Protein Analysis, given by Kirkland, a former senior scientist at Agilent Technologies (Santa Clara, California) and current vice president of research and development at Advanced Materials Technology (Strongsville, Ohio).
The award, named for the late Uwe Neue, an outstanding liquid chromatographer who had a 34-year career with Waters Corporation, is presented to an industrial scientist who, like Uwe, has made significant contributions to the field of separation science and has strived to see these implemented in commercial products.
