May 2009: 2009 Award for Excellence in Technology Transfer
Work in 'Hyperspectral Imaging for Food Quality and Safety Inspection'
coordinated between three ARS locations (MWA, BA, and SAA), including the
efforts of BA/EMFSL scientists Kevin Chao, Moon Kim, and Alan Lefcourt, has been selected as one the recipients for the 2009 Award for Excellence
in Technology Transfer.
This award is presented annually by the Federal Laboratory Consortium
for Technology Transfer (FLC) to recognize outstanding work in the process
of transferring a technology developed by a federal laboratory to the commercial
marketplace. Award recipients will be recognized at a ceremony on Thursday,
May 7, 2009, during the FLC National Meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina.
