Rebecca Schulman, associate professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Kent Gordon Croft Investment Management Faculty Scholar, has been chosen by the U.S. Department of Defense to receive a 2023 Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship.
These fellowships serve as a catalyst for advancing transformative fundamental research within universities, nurturing high-risk ideas in pursuit of breakthrough discoveries, and giving researchers freedom to explore the frontiers of knowledge in their respective fields.
Rebecca’s project, “Self-organizing Biomaterials Using Biomolecular Networks,” will investigate whether engineers can create complex machines and materials using some of the same organizational principles found in living things.
