The 2025 Lavoisier Medalists are Steve Jons, Senior Laureate, Water Solutions and Sourav Sengupta, Laureate, Engineering. The Lavoisier Medal for Lifetime Technical Achievement recognizes scientists and engineers who have demonstrated a career of creative and groundbreaking technical contributions with significant business impact. It is named in honor of the 18th century French chemist, Antoine Laurent Lavoisier, considered the father of modern chemistry.
The Pedersen Award recipients are Chris Seay, Senior Engineering Laureate, Aramids; Rupert Spence, Senior Technical Laureate, Science and Innovation; and Shintaro Yamada, Technical Manager, Lithography Technologies. The Pedersen Award is chosen by a select team of DuPont Laureates, those who have achieved the company's highest technical rank. This year's recipients' deep technical knowledge, expertise, bold achievements, and commitment in their respective businesses have resulted in critical new innovative products solutions for customers. The Pedersen Award is named in honor of DuPont's Nobel Laureate, Charles J. Pedersen, who received the 1987 Nobel Prize for his discovery of a novel class of chemical compounds called macrocyclic polyethers, which he dubbed "crown" ethers because of their molecular shape.
This year's Medalists and Awardees, along with the products and technologies they have developed throughout their distinguished careers, have had a significant impact on the growth and value for DuPont, its customers, and value chain partners. Their work has helped shape industries and made enormous strides in solving some of the world's most important challenges.
"It's a privilege to celebrate the accomplishments of this year's Lavoisier and Pedersen recipients," said Alexa Dembek, DuPont Chief Technology and Sustainability Officer.
