Past Recipients:
Dec. 2011: Congratulations to Jiaxing Huang, recipient of the INAUGURAL 2011 ISEN Early Career Investigator Award Winner!
Project: "Particles of Crumpled Soft Sheets - Towards a New Paradigm of Ultrafine Particles"
Huang is the Morris E. Fine Research Professor in Materials and Manufacturing in the McCormick Department of Materials Science and Engineering.
Huang previously received ISEN Booster Awards in March 2009 ("Solid State Polymerization Route to Porous Conducting Polymer Nanocrystals" - Final Report) and September 2010 ("All-carbon composite for photovoltaics" - Project Summary). He has published prolifically under ISEN Booster support (10 papers to-date, as of Jan 2012, including 2 frontispeices), and we look forward to the results of his current research.
