2005 David Sinclair Award:
Prof. Richard K. Chang, AP, is the recipient of
the American Association for Aerosol Research (AAAR)
David Sinclair Award. This award “recognizes
sustained excellence in aerosol research and
technology by an established scientist…(whose)
research must have a lasting impact on aerosol
science.” The award was presented Oct. 21 at the
annual AAAR Conference, held in Austin, TX. During
the past five years Prof. Chang and his group have
worked on developing techniques to rapidly evaluate
and sort potential bio-warfare threats from background
aerosols.
To do research with $6.5 M in nanomedicine Center:
Prof. David LaVan, ME, is one of the recipients of
a $6.5 million grant for the National Center for
Design of Biomimetic Nanoconductors, funded by
the National Eye Institute of the National Institutes
of Health. The five-year grant will support a
multidisciplinary, multi-institutional effort
to design, model, synthesize, and fabricate
nanomedical devices based on natural and synthetic
ion transporters, the proteins that control ion motion
across the membrane of every living cell. Nanomedicine
operates at the biological molecule scale of 100
nanometers or less to cure disease or repair
damaged tissues. A nanometer is one-billionth of
a meter.
Interested in more from Yale Engineering:
Ms. Bridget Calendo, Director of Engineering Advancement,
attended the Engineering Consortium Career Fair at
Columbia University Oct. 27-28. She quickly ran out of
200 business cards, because employers have had good
results with Yale engineering interns and permanent
hires and are interested in more.
