Dmytro Kravchuk of the University of Iowa Department of Chemistry and the Forbes Group has been awarded the Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) Graduate Research Excellence Award.

The Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) has selected the winners of fourteen awards that recognize exceptional researchers, scholars, innovators, students, and administrators, as a part of the annual Discovery and Innovation awards program. Each fall, the OVPR solicits nominations from the campus community for the awards, which include: Scholar of the Year, Early Career Scholar of the Year, Leadership in Research, Graduate Student Excellence, Postdoctoral Scholars, and Excellence in Undergraduate Research, as well as awards that recognize distinguished achievement in communications, public engagement, arts and humanities, mentorship, research administration, research safety, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. The Chemistry Department’s very own PhD candidate, Dmytro Kravchuk, was one of four individuals to receive the Graduate Research Excellence Award. The Graduate Research Excellence Awards honor students in terminal degree programs conducting research and scholarly activity that is recognized as highly original work and makes a significant contribution to the field. Congratulations, Dmytro!
