Extract from the Festschrift issue of J. Phys. Chem., May 1999
Synopsis.
C. A. Angell is one of the Regents’ professors at Arizona State University. He works in the Physics and Chemistry of cooperative transitions with a special interest in glassforming materials, and water (and aqueous solutions). He has published over 460 papers and, according to Thompson Scientifics Webofscience, his papers of the last 20 yrs are cited an average of 56x per paper. 57 of his papers have over 100 citations, and he has a Hirsch index of 76 (Thompson), 77 actual. He has won two of the major Internationally contested awards in the Physics and Chemistry of Liquids (the Hildebrand Award of the ACS, 2004) and the Materials Sciences (the David Turnbull Lecture Award of the MRS (2006) and has had a special issue of the Journal of Physical Chemistry devoted to his field of study. His most recent award, of which he is proud, has been an “outstanding reviewer” award from the Institute of Physics. He is currently deeply involved in (a) biophysical problems related to protein folding, misfolding, and fibrillization, and (b) the energy storage and energy conversion sciences. He is an invited symposium speaker at each of the major March Meetings (APS and ACS) 2009.
