Kennesaw State researcher nominated to NSF center, wins American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Funds award
Acknowledging his impact in chemistry education and research, Kennesaw State University alumnus and assistant professor Carl Saint-Louis ‘08 recently earned two prestigious honors, including recognition from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and an award from the American Chemical Society (ACS) Petroleum Research Funds (PRF).
Saint-Louis has been appointed to the NSF’s Center for Computer-Assisted Synthesis (C-CAS), an effort that supports computational science and data-driven chemistry, one of just two appointees nationally. In addition, he received an Undergraduate New Investigator Award from the ACS-PRF Office of Research Grants.
“These awards will elevate KSU’s chemistry department to a national level,” said Saint-Louis, a faculty member in KSU’s College of Science and Mathematics.

“Undergraduates will have opportunities to engage with world-class chemists and conduct cutting-edge research through computational analysis.”
