The Lavoisier Medal for Lifetime Technical Achievement recognizes scientists and engineers who have demonstrated a career of creative technical contributions with significant business impact. The medal is named in honor of the 18th century French chemist, Antoine Laurent Lavoisier, who is considered the father of modern chemistry.  

Pedersen Medalists are selected by The DuPont Fellows, a group of the highest technical professionals in the company. The medalists' technical knowledge, skill and commitment in their respective areas have resulted in important new products for DuPont customers. The 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 the "crown" ethers because of their molecular shape. 

The groundbreaking science and innovation, developed by the medalists, have created significant value for the company and have helped shape and transform industries; delivering new sustainable solutions for our customers to solve some of the world's most pressing challenges.

"It's an honor to recognize each of our medalists for exemplifying the spirit of innovation at DuPont by providing value to our customers and delivering significant business impact to our company," said Alexa Dembek, DuPont Chief Technology and Sustainability Officer.
