ChBE Assistant Professor R. Kōnane Bay has received two prestigious honors: a 2026 U.S. Department of Energy Early Career Research Program Award and recognition on the American Institute of Chemical Engineers’ 35 Under 35 list. Both honors recognize her innovative work in materials research.

Kristi Anseth, distinguished professor and Tisone professor of chemical and biological engineering, and Christopher Bowman, distinguished professor and James and Catherine Patten endowed chair in chemical and biological engineering, were among the 11 distinguished scholars selected.

Assistant Professor Cody Ritt received the North American Membrane Society Young Membrane Scientist Award, one of the membrane science community's highest honors for early-career researchers.��Presented last week at the

Distinguished Professor Kristi Anseth has received the��Biomaterials Global Impact Award, which recognizes distinguished research and development accomplishments in the field of biomaterials. Anseth is known for developing tissue substitutes that improve treatments for conditions like broken bones and heart valve disease.

Professor Kristi Anseth is known for developing tissue substitutes that improve treatments for conditions like broken bones and heart valve disease. She recently made key discoveries about sex-based differences in cardiac treatment outcomes. Anseth is also among the few innovators elected to all three national academies: Sciences, Engineering and Medicine.
