He is also a fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) and winner of its John H. The NAI recognition adds to an extensive list of honors for Epps, including election as a fellow of the American Chemical Society earlier this year and last year as a fellow of the ACS Division of Polymer Chemistry and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE).
The complete list of NAI fellows is available on the NAI’s website.
The induction ceremony will be held in June during the 11th annual meeting of the NAI in Phoenix, Arizona. This year’s class also reflects NAI’s dedicated efforts to promote diversity and inclusion in its membership, with the addition of three outstanding academic female black inventors. Their collective body of research and entrepreneurship covers a broad range of scientific disciplines involved with technology transfer of their inventions for the benefit of society. Among the new class of fellows are 33 members of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and three Nobel Laureates. Those researchers collectively hold over 4,800 U.S. The 2021 fellow class hails from 116 research universities and governmental and non-profit research institutes worldwide. In addition, more than $3 trillion in revenue has been generated based on NAI fellow discoveries. patents, which have generated more than 13,000 licensed technologies and companies, and created more than 1 million jobs. To date, NAI fellows hold more than 48,000 U.S. “His discoveries and innovations related to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and Alzheimer's disease have led to the first antemortem diagnostic tests for these neurodegenerative diseases and the prion test is in routine clinical use around the world.” “His research is highly cited and used by diverse researchers from academia, government, and industry to advance a quantitative understanding of living systems,” said Joy Goswami, assistant director of Technology Transfer and Corporate Partnerships for UD’s Office of Economic Innovation and Partnerships, who nominated Lee. innovation policy in Washington D.C., his work to catalyze advanced manufacturing innovation in the United States, and his impact on diverse technical areas including proteomic methods, Alzheimer's disease diagnosis and biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Lee is the Gore Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at UD and Institute Director for the National Institute for Innovation in Manufacturing Biopharmaceuticals ( NIIMBL).
“ research and innovation have focused on the design, synthesis, processing and characterization of polymeric materials that self-assemble to form nanoscale structures.” He is “an outstanding innovator whose groundbreaking research has had a major impact on chemical engineering in general, and polymer chemistry and macromolecular science in particular,” wrote Levi Thompson, dean of the College of Engineering. He has five patents, including one licensed to his startup Lignolix Inc., and seven more pending. Department of Energy-funded Energy Frontier Research Center. He is director of the National Science Foundation-funded Center for Hybrid, Active, and Responsive Materials (CHARM) and co-director of the Center for Plastics Innovation, a U.S. The NAI Fellows Program recognizes those who have “demonstrated a spirit of innovation in creating or facilitating outstanding inventions that have made a tangible impact on quality of life, economic development and the welfare of society,” according to the program website.Įpps, the Allan and Myra Ferguson Distinguished Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at UD with a joint appointment in Materials Science and Engineering, is a leader in nanostructured polymers and biobased materials.
