Professor
Mark C. Hersam has received the Presidential Early Career
Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) award at
a ceremony on July 26, 2006, in Washington, D.C..
As
announced by Professor Peter W. Voorhees, MSE Department Chair
at Northwestern University, " It is the highest honor given by
the U.S. government to outstanding scientists and engineers who
are beginning their independent careers. He had his photograph
taken with President George W. Bush and the other PECASE recipients,
and received his award from John H. Marburger, science advisor
to President Bush and director of the Office of Science and Technology
Policy, during a ceremony in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building."
Professor
Hersam is one of the outstanding young professors partnering with
NCLT to advance Nanoscale Science and Engineering Education in
the US. He is also a main driving force in establishing an on-line
repository of resources for courses and supplemental modules for
the NanoEd Clearinghouse due to be launched this Fall.
A member of
the Faculty in Materials Science and Engineering Department since
2000, Professor Hersam's teaching and research activities can
