University of Oklahoma chemist, Dr. George Richter-Addo was recently honored with the 2023 Oklahoma Chemist Award. The award, given to outstanding chemists, was given by the ACS Oklahoma Section. Along with serving as chair of the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department for 8 years, Dr. Richter-Addo has published many articles and mentored many PhD, MS graduates and postdoctoral associates.
Dr. Richter-Addo states that the most rewarding experience in his career is, "without question, having students and postdocs in my lab come up with original research questions, and then seeing them design high quality and thoughtful experiments to provide answers to those questions to the world. My greatest joy is seeing my students shine to become independent researchers."
We asked Dr. Richter-Addo what the Oklahoma Chemist Award means to him. “This award recognizes the highly impactful research results that my students and postdocs have been able to achieve and disseminate over the past several years.”
Congratulations Dr. Richter-Addo
