    Wesley Cocker Award (opens in a new tab)⁠
    1 Jan 2008
    The Awardees are Drs. Shane Robinson, Cormac O'Connor and Enda Bergin of the Gilheany research group. The Award is for the best paper or patent on a topic of relevance to industrial chemistry. In our case it was for the discovery of the asymmetric oxidation of phosphines and the use of the resultant P-stereogeic phosphorus compounds as catalysts. These discoveries are now being commercialised via a start-up Campus Company.
