Awards and Honors

Five members of the Whiting School’s faculty recently received National Science Foundation CAREER Awards, which recognize early-stage scholars with high levels of promise and excellence. They include: 

Jeremy Brown, John C. Malone Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engineering, project: “Improving prosthesis usability through enhanced touch feedback and intelligent control” 

Nicholas Durr, assistant professor, Biomedical Engineering, project: “Computational structured light imaging for widefield mapping of histologic primitives”

Chien-Ming Huang, John C. Malone Assistant Professor, Computer Science, project: “End-user robot programming by multi-modal instruction” 

Axel Krieger, assistant professor, Mechanical Engineering, project: “Advancing autonomy for soft tissue robotic surgery and interventions”

Jamie Spangler, William R. Brody Faculty Scholar, assistant professor, Biomedical Engineering and Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, project: “Engineered multi-specific antibodies to interrogate and manipulate immune checkpoint protein trafficking” 

In addition, Jordan Green, professor of biomedical engineering, was elected to the National Academy of Inventors. Green works within the chemistry/biology/ engineering interface to answer fundamental scientific questions and to create innovative technologies and therapeutics to benefit human health.
