In Memoriam
John Z. Larese
1954-2021
We honor John Larese in his passing for his service to the American Chemical Society and the SERMACS, Inc. Executive Committee. John served as Treasurer of SERMACS Inc. since 2020. He was also recognized as a 2020 ACS Fellow for his outstanding achievements in and contributions to the science and the profession and equally exemplary service to the Society.
John was a teacher and scholar at the University of Tennessee Knoxville. His research focused on the investigation of the physical and chemical phenomena that take place on solid surfaces and within porous media. These multidisciplinary experimental and theoretical studies included materials synthesis, thermodynamics, computational modeling and neutron and x-ray scattering. Their primary focus concerned understanding the microscopic underpinnings of what determines the structure, dynamics and surface mediated reaction of molecules on pure and decorated metal oxide materials.
His charm and good cheer will be missed.
Recognition
