Congratulations to Assistant Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Ying Diao, who was recently selected to receive the 2019 American Vacuum Society’s Prairie Chapter Early Career Award.

Dr. Diao will receive the award at the chapter symposium this September at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign campus. She will deliver an award lecture at the symposium.

Diao was cited for her “original contributions bridging molecular assembly with surface science to reveal unconventional mechanisms of surface-induced nucleation, and innovative, scalable, printing methods for nanomaterials manufacturing.”
