CEM Faculty member Len Brillson was awarded, in conjunction with Profs. Wu Lu and Stephen C. Lee, a Lumley Interdisciplinary Research Award. The three professors, members of the Departments of Electrical & Computer Engineering (Brillson, Lu) and Biomedical Engineering (Lee), have worked together to research the use of Field-effect Transistors (FETs) as protein sensors for biomedical applications. The development of this technology may lead to faster and cheaper diagnostics in clinical, biotechnological, and environmental applications.
The Lumley Interdisciplinary Research award was established in honor of John H. Lumley, a 1927 graduate of ceramic engineering, in 2002 to recognize interdisciplinary research accomplishments of College of Engineering faculty and research staff.
Congratulations Len!
CEM would like to congratulate CEM Faculty Member Prof. Len Brillson (Dept of Electrical and Computer Engineering) on his selection as a 2013 Materials Research Society (MRS) Fellow. This is a notable achievement considering that 0.2% of MRS members are selected to be Fellows. MRS is the fifth society to select Prof. Brillson as a Fellow. The other societies of which he is a Fellow exemplify the interdisciplinary nature of his research: American Physical Society (APS), AVS: Science and Technology of Materials, Interfaces, and Processing, American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
