In recognition of their outstanding efforts as educators at UC Santa Barbara engineering professors Matthew Helgeson and Michael Liebling will receive the 2015 Northrop Grumman Excellence in Teaching Award. The award recognizes early-career faculty in the College of Engineering for their contributions and dedication as undergraduate educators.
Assistant Professor Matthew Helgeson received his PhD in chemical engineering from the University of Delaware and joined the faculty of the UCSB Department of Chemical Engineering in 2012. Professor Helgeson's research is focused on understanding the structure and flow behavior of colloids (including nanoparticles, emulsions and proteins) in structured liquids. His research group aims to use this understanding in order to engineer novel gels and particulates for applications in biotechnology, nanomaterials and energy.
