Packard Fellowship award year: 1998
Research Interests
ames Morken studies combinatorial experiments to develop new catalysts. A premise behind Morken's work is that catalytic chemical transformations offer significant practical advantages over non-catalyzed reaction pathways. He describes catalytic reactions as more environmentally friendly, more economical, and operationally safer than non-catalytic processes.

Bjorn Poonen Field: Mathematics
Packard Fellowship award year: 1998
Research Interests
jorn Poonen researches number theory and arithmetic geometry. He states that there is a wide gap between theory and practice in the disciplines of number theory and arithmetic geometry. A common thread in his work is to take ideas that previously have been useful in theory, and to transform them into methods that can be used to solve down-to-earth problems. For example, in the past, he has proved results on random packing, with applications to communications networks.
