Induction of Dean Jennifer West Jennifer West to the National Academy of Medicine

Update! 2-3 postdoc openings in bioprinting/biomaterials/cell mechanics in my lab - understanding how nonlinear elasticity of extracellular matrix and homotypic/heterotypic cell-cell interactions delineate stem cell behavior and function in 3D. PhD openings always!

I'm excited to share the first paper led by a PhD student in my group, Daniel Garzon! We introduce PepMNet, a hierarchical graph model for predicting peptide properties and show that it achieves state of the art performance for a range of tasks: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Was excited and happy to join Professor Roseanne Ford (@Roseyhoo) in becoming AICHE Fellows today. Professor Davis, already an AICHE Fellow joined us at the breakfast in support!

It is with great sadness that UVA Engineering shares the news that Bill Scherer, professor and chair of the Department of Systems and Information Engineering, passed away on Wednesday, October 30.

It was awesome to have Professor Stephanie Kwon visit us and give a great seminar, showing off her catalysis research.

Featured on the front cover of Science Advances today, my lab reports a universal strategy for decoupling stiffness and extensibility of polymer networks.

Had an awesome time yesterday, celebrating the end of the year with my faculty and grad student colleagues in CHE!

If grad students in your dept say "hey, have you ever heard of first we feast, the hot ones show" - say no. Just say no. In all seriousness, some of our faculty and myself had a great time eating and chatting with all of the students, but there was one wing...yes there were tears

Rachel Letteri’s lab is working on more durable peptides, essential for better treatments for everything from infection to stroke. Read more: at.virginia.edu/xm3fno Bill Epling U.S. National Science Foundation NIH American Chemical Society

I feel super lucky to have Rachel as a colleague, collaborator, and resident peptide expert! ☺️

Matthew Lazzara and his team of researchers have found multiple ways to interrupt a process in pancreatic cancer cells that makes them more resistant to chemotherapy, potentially leading to better treatments for patients. at.virginia.edu/6j2tla Bill Epling Cancer Research

Thrilled to share I’ve received the NSF CAREER Award! 🎉 This work will use deep learning and molecular simulations to design peptide-functionalized surfaces. Thank you to NSF for this honor and to my mentors, colleagues, students, and family for their unwavering support!🚀

For a lab experiment meant to train engineers to manage risks of catastrophic workplace accidents, this dust explosion tube is just the thing. at.virginia.edu/b2x81g Bill Epling American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE)

I am happy to share that I have taken up a new role as Assistant Professor of Chemistry at UVA Chemistry! My group develops magnetic resonance techniques to investigate structure of catalysts, energy materials & pharmaceuticals at the atomic-level. #chemtwitter #NMRchat 1/n

Last semester, Professor Matthew Lazzara convened a Teaching Triangles group where CHE instructors formed groups of three, sat in each other's classes, and reflected on strategies that might improve their own courses. Read more: at.virginia.edu/rxxuwp UVA Center for Teaching Excellence Bill Epling

Excited, honored, and humbled for being selected as one of this year’s PECASE awardees by the President! This would not be possible without continuous strong support from NSF DMR Polymers program officer Dr. Andy Lovinger, the departments, the school, and incredible mentors.
