Professors Natalie Ahn and Keith Maskus honored
Professors Natalie Ahn and Keith Maskus have been named 2012 College Professors of Distinction by the College of Arts and Sciences in recognition of their exceptional service, teaching and research.
This highly revered title is reserved for scholars and artists of national and international acclaim whose college peers also recognize as exceptionally talented teachers and colleagues. Honorees of this award hold this title for the remainder of their careers in the College of Arts and Sciences at CU-Boulder.
Ahn came to CU-Boulder in 1992 after completing her Ph.D. and postdoctoral work at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Washington, respectively. She not only serves as a professor of chemistry and biochemistry, but is also an investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, director of the Predoctoral Training Program in Signaling and Cellular Regulation, and associate director of the BioFrontiers Institute.
Ahn’s research investigates enzymatic and cellular mechanisms underlying cell signaling. She uses technologies in functional proteomics and hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry for her research in signal transduction.
Maskus joined the faculty at CU-Boulder in 1981 after receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. He is a professor of economics and serves as the Associate Dean for Social Sciences.
Professor Maskus has visiting appointments at the U.S. Department of State, the World Bank, the University of Bocconi, Peking University, and the University of Munich. He is also an adjunct professor at the University of Adelaide in Australia and is a research fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics and the Kiel Institute for World Economics.
Maskus consults widely on international trade policy and intellectual property rights, has published more than 100 articles, and is the author or editor of 14 books and monographs. His most recent volume, released this year, is titled “Private Rights and Public Problems: the Global Economics of Intellectual Property Rights.”
Ahn and Maskus will be honored on Wednesday, Nov 7, in the Old Main Chapel on campus. Both professors will give brief lectures on their research. The lectures begin at 6 p.m., and a reception in the CU Heritage Center Museum on the third floor of Old Main will follow the presentations. This event is free and open to the public.
