Faculty Awards
Kristi Anseth, distinguished professor and Tisone professor of chemical and biological engineering, and Christopher Bowman, distinguished professor and James and Catherine Patten endowed chair in chemical and biological engineering, were among the 11 distinguished scholars selected.
ChBE Assistant Professor Kōnane Bay has been named to AIChE’s prestigious 35 Under 35 list, recognizing her contributions to chemical engineering research.
Assistant Professor Cody Ritt received the North American Membrane Society Young Membrane Scientist Award, one of the membrane science community's highest honors for early-career researchers.Presented last week at the
Distinguished Professor Kristi Anseth has received theBiomaterials Global Impact Award, which recognizes distinguished research and development accomplishments in the field of biomaterials. Anseth is known for developing tissue substitutes that improve treatments for conditions like broken bones and heart valve disease.- Professor Kristi Anseth is known for developing tissue substitutes that improve treatments for conditions like broken bones and heart valve disease. She recently made key discoveries about sex-based differences in cardiac treatment outcomes. Anseth is also among the few innovators elected to all three national academies: Sciences, Engineering and Medicine.
Assistant Professors Kōnane Bay and Ankur Gupta from 鶹ѰBoulder’s Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering each received a $450,000, three-year grant to advance research relevant to the Air Force.
Jerome Fox, associate professor of chemical and biological engineering, has received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) for his groundbreaking research on enzyme-driven chemical networks and their applications in biocatalytic systems, including chemical and pharmaceutical production.
Assistant Professor Laurel Hind has received a $646,000 NSF CAREER Award to study immune system regulation and disease, while also promoting scientific literacy in immunology through a new outreach program.
Kōnane Bay received a CAREER award to support research at the Huli Materials Lab, where she and her team will investigate how the mechanical properties of polymer films change as their thickness is reduced to less than 100 nanometers—about a thousand times thinner than a human hair or cling wrap.
Kristi Anseth,a Distinguished Professor and Tisone Professor in theDepartment of Chemical and Biological Engineering,has been awarded the prestigious VinFuture Special Prize for Women Innovatorsin recognition of her pioneering research in tissue engineering.
