Colorado State University chemical engineering alumna Susan Gwynn-Handley was named a Fellow at the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers Honors and Awards Ceremony held during the Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition on Thursday, Oct. 21, 2004 at the Pasadena Conference Center.
Gwynn-Handley graduated with an M.S. from Colorado State University in 1980 and was the first woman to receive a graduate degree from the chemical engineering program. She has worked at Kodak for 25 years and first became involved in motion picture films and entertainment imaging as a statistician designing and analyzing experiments for the Eastman Color Intermediate Film, 5244, which received a Technical Academy Award - an Oscar - in 1994.
Using her educational background in chemistry and chemical engineering, Gwynn-Handley made the transition into emulsion entertainment imaging and has been a significant contributor on all the Vision Color Negative Film programs. She was responsible for designing and implementing the emulsion technology for the Vision Color Negative Film family. The silver halide emulsion technology that was developed for these films is the foundation of the films' quality and performance.
