The German working group Group for Analytical Spectroscopy (DAAS) of the GDCh Division of Analytical Chemistry usually awards the DAAS Award as part of the ANAKON to honor outstanding scientific work in the field of analytical spectroscopy and in particular the micro and trace analysis of the elements and element species. The prize is intended to recognize and promote outstanding young scientists at the end of or shortly after their doctoral thesis. The award comes with a certificate and prize money of EUR 1,500 donated by Merck. Nominations can only be made by DAAS members. A prize committee appointed by the DAAS Board decides on the award of the prize.
After the merger of the Working Group for Micro and trace analysis Analysis of the elements and element species Species (AMSEl.) and the German Working Group for Applied Spectroscopy (DASp), the name of the prize was changed from the AMSEl. Prize to the DAAS Award . The foundation of the prize money by Merck KGaA and the guidelines for awarding the prize remained unchanged.
The price is currently not advertised.
The award was presented to Dr. Carla Kirschbaum awarded.
In honor of her under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Kevin Pagel at the Freie Universität Berlin and the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society with the title:
Lipid Fingerprinting by Mass Spectrometry and Laser Light
Ms. Kirschbaum's achievement is best illustrated by six awards and fifteen publications on the subject of analytical spectroscopy of lipids, some of which have appeared in the most prestigious journals . She used cryogenic infrared action spectroscopy for the first time to study complex biomolecules. In particular, she was able to distinguish between isomers of glycolipids, sphingolipids and fatty acids using fingerprints in the infrared spectrum. Ms. Kirschbaum's achievement is also impressive because she has dealt with a large number of analytical spectrometric techniques - such as tandem mass spectrometry, with which she was able to impressively elucidate the mechanism of glycerolipid fragmentation.
The prize was awarded on the occasion of the virtual DAAS doctoral seminar to Dr. Gerrit Renner for his dissertation at the University of Duisburg-Essen.
