Edward Yeung received his A.B. degree in chemistry from Cornell University in 1968
and his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley in 1972.
Since then, he has been on the chemistry faculty at Iowa State University, where he
is currently Distinguished Professor in Liberal Arts and Sciences. His research
interests span both spectroscopy and chromatography. He has published in areas
such as nonlinear spectroscopy, laser-based detectors for liquid chromatography,
capillary electrophoresis, trace gas monitoring, single-cell and single-molecule
analysis, DNA sequencing, and data treatment procedures in chemical measurements.
He is an Associate Editor of Analytical Chemistry. He served on the editorial advisory
board of Progress in Analytical Spectroscopy, Journal of Capillary Electrophoresis,
Mikrochimica Acta, Spectrochimica Acta Part A, Journal of Microcolumn Separations,
Electrophoresis, Journal of High Resolution Chromatography, Chromatographia and Journal
of Biochemical and Biophysical Methods. He was awarded an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship
in 1974, was appointed Honorary Professor of Zhengzhou University and of Zhongshan
University, PRC, in 1983 and in 1995, respectively, and was elected Fellow of the
American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1992. He received the ACS
Division of Analytical Chemistry Award in Chemical Instrumentation in 1987, R&D 100
Awards in 1989, 1991, 1997 and 2001, the Lester W. Strock Award in 1990, the Pittsburgh
Analytical Chemistry Award in 1993, the L. S. Palmer Award in 1994, the ACS Fisher Award
in Analytical Chemistry in 1994, the Frederick Conference on Capillary Electrophoresis
Award in 1997, the Eastern Analytical Symposium Award in 1998, the ACS Award in
Chromatography in 2002, the International Prize of the Belgian Society of Pharmaceutical
Sciences in 2002, the Eastern Analytical Symposium Award in Separation Science in 2003,
Iowa Inventor of the Year in 2004, the inaugural Ralph N. Adams Award in Bioanalytical
Chemistry in 2005, the M. J. E. Golay Award in 2006, and was elected a Fellow of the
Society for Applied Spectroscopy in 2007.
