Information
The Pittsburgh Spectroscopy Award, established in 1957, is given annually to a researcher who has demonstrated outstanding achievements in the field of spectroscopy.
The Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh has awarded the 2025 Pittsburgh Spectroscopy Award to Dr. Joseph S. Francisco by his outstanding contributions to applied spectroscopy in the field of atmospheric chemistry, revolutionizing our understanding of chemical processes in the atmosphere. His extraordinary efforts to collaborate with hundreds of scientists coming from different countries and research fields has made it possible to intertwine the fundamental studies of molecular spectroscopy with other interdisciplinary fields.
