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 the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, has been awarded the prestigious VinFuture Special Prize for Women Innovators in recognition of her pioneering research in tissue engineering.

In a comment published in Nature Chemistry on Nov. 25, Casey Davis, a chemistry PhD student, along with her advisor Mike Toney, a professor of chemical engineering and materials science, and others, argue that universities must integrate energy justice into graduate curricula and research.

A roundup of chemical and biological engineering students who won prestigious awards and honors this semester.

Laurel Hind, an assistant professor of chemical and biological engineering, has been recognized with the Rising Star Award from the Biomedical Engineering Society - Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering Special Interest Group. Her lab's research could have profound applications for the way in which patients who recover from sepsis are treated.

Three undergraduate researchers from Professor Al Weimer’s team received national poster awards at the 2024 American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) annual meeting, held Oct. 28-31 in San Diego.

Bowman Endowed Professor Jason Burdick of the BioFrontiers Institute and the Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering has been elected to the National Academy of Medicine.

CU �鶹ӰԺ researchers are developing a handheld device that could transform blood testing. Instead of needles and long waits for lab results, this sound-based system delivers accurate results in an hour from just a finger prick.

CU �鶹ӰԺ's undergraduate chemical engineering program jumped three spots to #11 in U.S. News & World Report rankings among its public institutions.

Paul Lichtey, CU �鶹ӰԺ alumnus (ChemEngr PhD'11), is the CEO of Forge Nano, an atomic layer deposition company which appears to have the most-developed technology to coat battery electrodes with metal oxides or nitrides. The technology improves both the energy capacity and the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries.
