In a recently released report on Priority Areas in Advanced Manufacturing, The National Science and Technology Council, Office of Science and Technology, identified Continuous Pharmaceutical Manufacturing as one of five Manufacturing Technology Areas of Emerging Priority. This area has been pioneered by Fernando Muzzio and Marianthi Ierapetritou of our department and has been a mainstay of the ERC-SOPS, which is mentioned in first place among the "Selected Examples of Federal Investment".

Congratulations to Hee Joo, Class of 2016, who has been awarded the 2016 Dittman/Lebo Scholarship! This scholarship was established by Prof. Frank Dittman who was one of the Department’s founding fathers. He retired in 1987. Prof. Dittman began a scholarship for well-rounded chemical and biochemical engineers. He took into account not only excellent grades but extracurricular activities, research experience, volunteer work and financial need. Unfortunately funds became unavailable. Timothy Lebo, Class of 2009, was the last recipient of the Dittman Scholarship in 2008.

Dr. Chundawat Part of Team That Has Characterized Critical Biofuel Enzymes Using Single-Molecule Techniques: A collaborative paper with the Lang lab at Vanderbilt University outlining the single-molecule characterization of processive cellulolytic enzyme action on the surface of crystalline cellulose was published in Nature Communications. This study has revealed the individual biocatalytic steps involved in the action of cellulase enzymes on polysaccharide substrates for the very first time.”
