IRVING, Texas– Timothy J. Nedwed, Ph.D., has received the Edith and Peter O’Donnell Award for Technology Innovation for his work in the development of offshore oil spill response technologies.

His research has been instrumental in furthering the industry’s capabilities for responding to potential offshore oil spills. He conducts research to develop new oil spill response technologies and to study oil spill fate and effects. His primary areas of focus are in situ burning, dispersants, and remote detection.
“Tim Nedwed is a true innovator. He sees things differently, envisions the possibilities, and makes connections where none existed before,” said Sara N. Ortwein, president of ExxonMobil Upstream Research Co. “His research is critical to our industry’s continued success and has resulted in dramatic benefits to the environment.
