Assistant Professor Bryan Boudouris will receive the 2016 College of Engineering Exceptional Early Career Teaching Award.

A team co-led by Associate Professor Julie C. Liu has shown that a synthetic version of a high-strength adhesive produced by mussels is non-toxic to living cells, suggesting its potential suitability for surgical and other biomedical applications.

Pollens, the bane of allergy sufferers, could represent a boon for battery makers. Recent research from Associate Professor Vilas Pol’s laboratory has suggested their potential use as anodes in lithium-ion batteries.

Assistant Professor Raj Gounder received the prestigious NSF Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) Award from the National Science Foundation for his project titled "Synthesis Methods to Control Framework Aluminum Distribution in Zeolites for NOx Pollution Abatement Catalysis."

Professor Rakesh Agrawal and Chemical Engineering Graduate Student Emre Gençer detailed their new "hydricity" concept in a paper that appeared in an online early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Hydricity aims to create a sustainable economy by generating electricity with solar energy and producing and storing hydrogen from superheated water for round the clock power production.
