ADA announces winner of Investigator Award

The ADA Council on Scientific Affairs has named Robert Yau, DMD, as the recipient of its second annual John W. Stanford New Investigator Award.

The award honors the legacy of Dr. Stanford who is credited with establishing the ADA's current standards program.

Dr. Yau will present his winning research, "Influence of Core/Veneer Thickness Ratios on Failure of Bilayered Dental Ceramic Crown Systems," in March at the ADA Standards Committee on Dental Products annual meeting in Boston.

Dr. Yau earned his dental degree in May from the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine. He is pursuing specialty training in oral and maxillofacial surgery (MD Integrated) at Kings County Hospital Center/SUNY Downstate Health Science Center in New York City.

Applications for the Stanford New Investigator Award are accepted annually from dental students or dentists who have earned their Doctor of Dental Surgery or Doctor of Dental Medicine no more than five years prior to the time of selection. Submissions must be original research that addresses some aspect of the use of standards in dental research or clinical application. Applications are being accepted through September 30, 2015, for the 2015 award.
