Sylvia T. Ceyer
Sylvia Teresse Aida Ceyer (born December 18, 1953 in Chicago ) is an American chemist who deals with physical chemistry and surface chemistry.
Ceyer studied at Hope College with a bachelor's degree in chemistry in 1973 and was at the 1979 University of California, Berkeley with Yuan T. Lee and Gabor Somorjai with the issue of Molecular beam photoionization and gas-surface scattering doctorate . As a post-doctoral student , she was at the National Bureau of Standards . In 1981 she became an assistant professor and later professor of chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where she headed the chemistry faculty from 2010.
It deals with chemical reactions on surfaces, especially the difference between reactions in a high vacuum and those under high pressure. She uses electron energy loss spectroscopy to distinguish reactions on the surface from those on molecules absorbed in the medium.
She is a Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences , the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (since 1992), and the American Physical Society . In 1987 she received the Harold E. Edgerton Award and in 2007 the Willard Gibbs Medal . From 1986 to 1988 she was a Sloan Research Fellow .
