Three Penn Engineers Recognized as APS Fellows
Penn Engineers’ Liquid Crystal Force Fields Enable New Kind of Microrobotics
A new study, published in Nature Communications, shows how simple glass particles can be instructed to follow sophisticated trajectories, which arise from their interactions with a liquid crystalline environment. The study was led by Kathleen Stebe, Richer & Elizabeth Goodwin Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, former Stebe lab member Francesca Serra, […]
Chinedum Osjui Named APS Fellow
Chinedum Osjui, Eduardo D. Glandt Presidential Professor in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Penn, has been named a fellow of the American Physical Society (APS). His fellowship nomination was for insightful determination of the structure and functional properties of soft materials and especially the self-assembly and processing of polymers by the novel application of external […]
Deep Jariwala Wins Nanomaterials Young Investigator Award
The journal Nanomaterials has named Deep Jariwala, assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering, the winner of its annual Young Investigator awards.
Y-Prize 2018: Embodied Logic and Surface Wrinkle Printing
Each year, Engineering, Wharton and the Penn Center for Innovation come together for an invention competition known as the Y-Prize. Unlike the XPRIZE, where competitors come up with novel technologies to solve a particular problem, the Y-Prize starts with the technologies and challenges entrants to find commercial applications they are particularly suited for. At stake: $10,000 to […]
Kimberly Ogden (CBE’86) Named President of AIChE
Penn alumna (CBE’86), Professor Kimberly Ogden (formerly Kim Henry), is currently serving as President-elect and will take over as President of AIChE in Jan. 2019. After receiving her B.S. degree, as one of our most active student leaders and as lab assistant in our undergraduate laboratory, she pursued her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees at the […]
Penn and Lehigh Research Team Seeks Alternative Ammonia Production Methods for Sustainable Fertilizers
A Penn Engineering team from the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, including John M. Vohs, Carl V. S. Patterson Professor and Chair, Raymond J. Gorte, Russell Pearce and Elizabeth Crimian Heuer Professor, and Aleksandra Vojvodic, Skirkanich Assistant Professor of Innovation, is collaborating with Lehigh University’s Steven McIntosh on research that seeks an alternative production […]
CBE Welcomes Professor Chinedum Osuji
The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering welcome Dr. Chinedum Osuji. Dr. Osuji joins the School as the Eduardo D. Glandt Presidential Professor. He leads an experimental research group focused on structure and dynamics of soft matter and complex fluids. Topics of interest include structure-property relationships in ordered soft materials, directed self-assembly of block copolymers […]
Kathleen Stebe Wins 2018 Langmuir Lectureship Award
Kathleen Stebe, Penn Engineering’s Deputy Dean for Research and Richer & Elizabeth Goodwin Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, has won the 2018 Langmuir Lectureship Award.
Amish Patel Receives ACS OpenEye Outstanding Junior Faculty Award
Amish Patel, Reliance Industries Term Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, has been selected to receive the OpenEye Outstanding Junior Faculty Award from the Computers in Chemistry (COMP) Division of the American Chemical Society (ACS). The award is designed to assist new faculty members in gaining visibility within the COMP community.
