CHMS Professors Bill Ristenpart and Tonya Kuhl have designed an exciting new introductory level course in Chemical Engineering based on the always popular topic of brewing (and drinking!) coffee. The course was featured recently in the local media; you can read more about it here.
CHMS Professor Alexandra Navrotsky has been invited to present the 2013 Alfred R Cooper Distinguished Lecture at the MS&T meeting in Montreal this year. The Cooper Lecture is the lead presentation in the annual "Cooper session" that honors the late Alfred Cooper, a NAE member noted for his work in ceramics.
CHMS Professor Alexandra Navrotsky has also been awarded the William Mong Distinguished Lectureship and William Mong Visiting Research Fellowship in Engineering for the Academic Year 2013-2014 at the University of Hong Kong. Professor Navrotsky was honored for her work studying the surface energies of nanophase oxides.
