John C. Polanyi

John Charles Polanyi is a Canadian Chemist and a Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry (1986). His winning work was the study of dynamics of chemical elementary reactions. Polanyi’s research is focused on chemical dynamics, determining mechanics of chemical reactions and properties of chemical species in the transition state. John Polanyi developed the technique of infrared chemiluminescence which helps in understanding chemical kinetics.

Polanyi’s awards include Marlow Medal of the Faraday Society 1962, Centenary Medal of the British Chemical Society 1965, Noranda Award of CIC 1967, Henry Marshall Tory Medal of RSC 1977, Wolf Prize in Chemistry (shared)1982, Izaak Walton Killam Memorial Prize 1988, the Royal Medal (Royal Society of London)1989 and Gerhard Herzberg Canada Gold Medal for Science and Engineering 2007.
