Ken s research has been recognized by many major awards. Among these some of the most significant are an Alexander von Humboldt U.S. Senior Scientist Award from Germany, the Schrodinger Medal of the World Association of Theoretically Oriented Chemists, the UCLA Faculty Research Lectureship, a Cope Scholar Award and the James Flack Norris Award of the American Chemical Society, the Tolman Award of the Southern California Section of the American Chemical Society, and an Honorary Degree ( Dr. honoris causa ) from the University of Essen, Germany in 1999. In 2000, he was named a Lady Davis Professor at the Technion in Israel and received a Fellowship from the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science. Last year Ken was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and he has won the 2003 American Chemical Society Award for Computers in Chemical and Pharmaceutical Research. 

Wasielewski s research interests comprise photoinduced electron transfer and charge transport in organic molecules and materials, artificial and natural photosynthesis, self-assembly of nanoscale materials, spin dynamics of multispin organic molecules, materials for molecule-based optoelectronics and spintronics, and time-resolved optical and magnetic resonance spectroscopy. His research has resulted in over 300 publications. Dr. Wasielewski was elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1995, and has held numerous distinguished lectureships and fellowships. Among Wasielewski s recent awards are the 2004 Photochemistry Research Award of the Inter-American Photochemical Society and the 2006 James Flack Norris Award in Physical Organic Chemistry of the American Chemical Society.
