| Teaching Discovery Through Smart Experimentation | |||
| John Crocker studies "squishy stuff." A researcher at the nexus of soft-matter physics and cell biology, he employs various methods to develop new materials, to determine how soft (or squishy) a material is, and in the case of living cells, to learn how they determine the squishiness of their own surroundings. Crocker also spends each fall semester guiding seniors through that "rite of passage" currently known as CBE 410: Chemical Engineering Laboratory. | |||

| Kathleen Stebe: Elegant Tension | |||
| Kathleen Stebe believes that the best questions yield transformative answers. She aims to inspire "creative tension," thinking in terms not only of reality but of vision. Stebe, the Richer and Elizabeth Goodwin Professor of Engineering and Applied Science, is the first female chair of CBE at Penn. Joining Penn Engineering from Johns Hopkins University, Stebe brings a guiding principle: "To harness the talents of people to move society forward." | |||

"I tell my children that I am working with bubbles and they think I have the best job in the world – which I do!" says Daeyeon Lee, Assistant Professor of CBE. By learning how to modify the air and water interface, Lee is able to make "perfect" bubbles that have potential to enhance biomedical imaging and ultrasound therapy. Learn more!
In the past year, both public and private institutions have joined the race to produce biofuels from an algal feedstock in an economically responsible manner that is by maintaining profitability while minimizing high capital costs. CBE Senior Design 2011 team members Daniel Choi, Spencer Glantz and Jasmin Imran Alsous worked to contribute to the global discourse on alternative-fuels and to reevaluate the promise of algae as a renewable resource for alternative fuels in light of the latest research and technological advances.
