UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN GRADUATE STUDENT WINS 2024 YOUNG CHEMIST AWARD

March 18, 2024

Article



Metrohm USA announced Katelyn Michael as the 2024 winner of its Young Chemist
Award for her work on the degradation of perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS).

On March 15, 2024, Metrohm USA announced that Katelyn Michael, a graduate
student from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, is the 2024 winner of its
Young Chemist Award. Michael’s work focuses on sustainable degradation of
perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), a persistent pollutant in the environment.

The Metrohm Young Chemist Award is presented annually. The recognition includes
a prize of $10,000, which is awarded to a scientist whose research “transforms
the landscape of chemistry” (1). It is currently open to students
(undergraduate, graduate, post-graduate, doctorate) in the United States.
Submissions for next year are currently open. Previous winners include Colby Ott
in 2022, Pawan Jolly in 2020, and Jeff Lopez in 2019. (2).

Micheal’s paper, titled “Tandem Electrochemical Advanced Oxidative Processes to
Effectively Degrade Perfluorooctanesulfonic Acid (PFOS),” addresses critical
environmental challenges that stem from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances
(PFAS). Known as “forever chemicals” for being highly resistant to environmental
degradation, PFAS chemicals can be incredibly dangerous to public and
environmental health due to their bioaccumulative nature. Due to how widely used
PFAS are in consumer products and industrial processes, such as cleaning
products, water-resistant fabrics, and nonstick cookware, PFAS can be found in
the blood of people and animals, as well as different food and environmental
food products (3,4).

Based on a novel electrochemical approach, Michael improves upon existing
methods in this study, aiming to greatly enhance the degradation efficiency of
PFOS. Her methodology cycles between activation and degradation phases within
the same cell, resulting in more complete degradation. Notably, her work
utilizes a special mediated decoupled process to avoid side reactions.

According to Ed Colihan, the CEO of Metrohm USA, Michael’s research into PFAS
degradation serves as a “beacon of hope” in the fight against PFAS. “The urgency
and complexity of PFAS pollution demand our best minds and resources, and we are
proud to reward research that leads us toward a cleaner, safer future,” he said
in a statement about the award. Michael intends to further explore PFAS compound
degradation and improve her system’s scalability. Her research holds promise for
broader applications in environmental remediation.
