The award aims to give recognition to an early career researcher working in the field of interest of the journal, who has shown promise as evidenced by scholarly publications and leadership in research activities.
This year's winner is Prof. Sinan Keten from Northwestern University.
The selection committee was deeply impressed with Prof Keten's level of notable contributions to the field, the number and quality of Prof Keten's publications, as well as evidence of leadership.
Prof Keten's research expertise is on computational materials science and mechanics, with emphasis in two areas: nanostructured polymeric materials and biomolecular and bioinspired materials. His career goal is to establish theory and simulation-driven approaches to understanding the physics of soft materials at multiple-length scales, typically utilizing molecular dynamics and theoretical approaches.
We offer our hearty congratulations to Prof. Keten for winning this award!
