as pharmaceuticals and plastics, has earned one University of Houston chemist a prestigious
honor. Olafs Daugulis, assistant professor of chemistry in the College of Natural Sciences and
Mathematics at UH, is among 118 outstanding young scientists, mathematicians and economists in
the United States and Canada to be named an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow for 2008. This
