Bradley F. Chmelka

Field: Chemical Engineering
Packard Fellowship award year: 1993

Research Interests

Our research is motivated by the need to understand at a molecular level the fabrication and functions of new catalysts, adsorbents, porous ceramics, and heterogeneous polymers. These broad categories of technologically important materials are linked by their crucial dependencies on local order/disorder, which often governs macroscopic process or device performance. We are broadly interested in heterogeneous solids, whose sizable variations in local ordering and dynamics have pronounced influences on the adsorption, reaction, optical, or mechanical properties of these materials. Through development and application of state-of-the-art techniques of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, we observe many common molecular features among these diverse systems, which provide new insights and design intuition for our materials chemistry and engineering objectives. We benefit from close collaborative research relationships with a number of industrial partners and foreign laboratories.

Yannis G. Kevrekidis

Field: Chemical Engineering
Packard Fellowship award year: 1988

Research Interests

My research focuses on the study of time-dependent behavior and pattern formation in physiochemical and engineering systems. The subjects range from bubble formation in fluidized bed reactors to surface pattern formation during heterogeneous catalytic reactions on metals--including the design and fabrication of novel composite and microstructured catalysts--to nonlinear signal processing, system identification and model reduction for modeling and control purposes.

James J. Watkins

Field: Chemical Engineering
Packard Fellowship award year: 1998

,

Research Interests

James Watkins is researching chemical fluid deposition to make nanostructure devices. He says that the development of advanced materials for device applications requires deposition methods that provide precise control over the structure of the active metal, semiconductor or metal-oxide component. He hopes these efforts will provide new routes to "smart" materials.

Jackie Y. Ying

Field: Chemical Engineering
Packard Fellowship award year: 1995

Research Interests

My research interests include synthesis of advanced inorganic structures for catalytic, membrane, and ceramic applications. My laboratory is devoted to the processing of novel nanocrystalline and nanoporous materials, and the engineering of surface reactivity, microstructure, and thermal stability of these systems towards the efficient use of energy and resources, and the control and prevention of environmental pollution.
