 Prof. Kowach was awarded the Outstanding Teaching Award for 2008
Prof. Kowach was awarded the Outstanding Teaching Award for 2008 from the Office of the Provost at The City College of New York.
Prof. Kowach has taught General Chemistry (CHEM 10301), Physical Chemistry Laboratory II (CHEM 43400), and Inorganic Chemistry (CHEM C0200 and CHEM C0400) over the past 5 years at CCNY. In addition, he has mentored postdoctoral research associates, doctoral graduate students, masters graduate students, undergraduates, high school students, and intermediate school students as part of his research group.
Specifically, Prof. Kowach has worked with the Advanced Science Research (ASR) Program at the Manhattan Center for Science and Mathematics High School H.S. 435 and the Student Apprenticeships in Research (STARS) Program at the Mott Hall School I.S. 223.
In addition, Prof. Kowach has been the Undergraduate Chemistry Major advisor, the Baskerville Chemical Society advisor, and he is currently the Chair of General Chemistry.
Of course, Prof. Kowach also enjoys presenting his "Fire and Ice" Chemistry Demonstration Show for Family Science Day at CCNY and other community events.

Young Scholars Achievement Program 2008
CUNY Award for Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope $650,000
The CCNY EM Facility has received funding from CUNY to purchase a Zeiss SUPRA 55VP.
SUPRA™ 55VP
Versatile High Performance VP SEM
Combining several instruments in one, the SUPRA™ 55VP with the improved GEMINI® column is a true nanoscience FESEM. It provides ultra high resolution imaging over the complete voltage range with the ability to handle large awkwardly shaped specimens. It is also a fully analytical FESEM with up to 20nA probe current available and comprises variable pressure technology for examining non-conducting specimens without prior time consuming preparation.
Key Features
* Ultra high resolution at low kV: 1.7nm @ 1.0kV, 4 nm @ 0.1kV
* High efficiency In-lens detector for clear topographic imaging in high vacuum mode
* Enhanced VPSE detector for VP mode: 2nm @ 30kV
* Ultra stable high current mode X-ray analysis and EBSD applications; better than 0.2%/h
* Large 5-axes motorised eucentric stage
* Fully automated vacuum system with straight forward point and click selection of vacuum pressure
* Easy operation through Windows® based SmartSEM™ control software/p>
