Two ChE Faculty Win College of Engineering Awards
Nick Kotov (right) has won the Ted Kennedy Family Team Excellence Award, with Ellen Arruda (Mechanical Engineering) and Tony Waas (Aerospace Engineering). The award was given for the advancement of ultrastrong transparent composites manufactured using layer-by-layer assembly processes developed in the Kotov's laboratory. The primary applications of these composites are in aviation and the new generation of light transparent armor.
Susan Montgomery Selected as Collegiate Lecturer
Susan Montgomery was one of three inaugural collegiate lecturers selected from across the Ann Arbor campus. She was chosen for her outstanding teaching, her unparalleled prowess at advising, and her deep dedication to our students and alumni.To honor a much-loved faculty member, Susan's new title will be the G. Brymer Williams Collegiate Lecturer.
Nick Kotov Named the Cejka Professor of Engineering
Nick Kotov has been named the Joseph B. and Florence V. Cejka Professor of Engineering. Nick and members of his research group are working on the biocompatible plasmonic nanoparticles that are designed for early diagnostic and treatment cancer. This work was particularly relevant to the donor who wished to support research in the study and treatment of cancer.
Continuing the Tradition in Chemical Engineering
Unit Operations, published by a team of Michigan Chemical Engineering faculty led by Professor George Granger (G.G.) Brown in 1950, revolutionized chemical engineering curricula from the previous emphasis on specific industries. Under Professor Rane Curl the ChE 460 lab curriculum evolved in the mid-1980s, into a simulated industrial environment, known as “G.G. Brown Industries, Inc." Professor Henry Wang, Pablo LaValle, and Don Trombley (Don & Pablo in photo to the left) continue the tradition of teaching excellence established by Brown and Curl before them. Find out more >
