Christopher Murray: NAE Membership

caption:Christopher MurrayChristopher Murray, the Richard Perry University Professor and professor in the department of materials science and engineering, has been elected to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) “for invention and development of solvothermal synthesis of monodisperse nanocrystal quantum dots for displays, photovoltaics and memory.”

Election to the NAE is among the highest professional distinctions accorded an engineer. Academy membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to “engineering research, practice or education, including, where appropriate, significant contributions to the engineering literature,” and to the “pioneering of new and developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of engineering, or developing/implementing innovative approaches to engineering education.”

As a Penn Integrates Knowledge Professor with appointments in Penn Arts & Sciences’ department of chemistry and Penn Engineering’s materials science and engineering, Dr. Murray bridges boundaries between the two disciplines.
