The GRFP provides three years of financial support within a five-year fellowship period. The support is intended for graduate study that leads to a research-based master’s or doctoral degree in science and engineering. Just 2,000 scholarships were awarded in 2018.
Aditya Mohite of Los Alamos National Laboratory will join the George R. Brown School of Engineering at Rice University as an associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering (CHBE), beginning July 1.
Ramon Gonzalez has been inducted into the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) College of Fellows for his “outstanding contributions to the fields of metabolic engineering and industrial biomanufacturing.â€
A collaboration led by Rice University and Los Alamos National Laboratory discovered a novel phenomenon: Light-induced lattice expansion in perovskite materials that cures bulk and interface defects, which leads to an enhancement of the optoelectronic properties.
Two graduates in chemical engineering from Rice University are among the newly elected members of the National Academy of Engineering.
Rice University scientists have discovered what may be the simplest form of locomotion in the travels of micron-scale particles linked and driven by a magnetic field.
At Rice Athletics’ 32nd Annual Scholar Athlete event earlier this month, multiple engineering students, including several from chemical and biomolecular engineering, were recognized for their excellence in the classroom and on the athletic field.
The prestigious fellowship, named for the late Riki Kobayashi, is awarded to outstanding graduate students in chemical and biomolecular engineering.
Ten Rice University graduate students and postdoctoral researchers won awards in the Smalley-Curl Institute (SCI) Transdisciplinary Symposium Feb. 9, including CHBE students Ben Yin and Priscilla Dias da Silva. The winning presenters received $500 travel awards.
Work by graduate student Elaa Hilou and faculty member Lisa Biswal demonstrates energetic properties of colloids in spinning magnetic field. The researchers hope their work will inspire ways to look at, model and create novel two-dimensional materials like tunable catalysts or colloids that can change their surface area on demand.
