Message
from
David Y. H. Pui, IARA President (2006-2010)
With
IARA Board’s approval, I am pleased to unveil the inaugural
edition of the
“Aerosol Pioneers” on the IARA website.
The project started one
year ago when I suggested
the idea to the IARA
Board. The
Board endorsed it with enthusiasm.
I would like to particularly thank the
outstanding
efforts by the authors of the biographies.
Editor Gilmore J.
Sem has deliberately not
provided rigid guidelines to the authors so that the articles are
original,
diverse and interesting to read. I
would
also like to thank Chuen-Jinn Tsai for preparing the biographies for
posting
and for maintaining the IARA website.
Many
of the Pioneers have already been memorialized by the Aerosol Awards
conferred regularly
by our member associations. We
hope that
these biographies will serve as a constant source of inspiration for
our
younger colleagues.
