I am pleased to announce the appointment of Associate Professor Jane Howe as Acting Chair, Department of Materials Science & Engineering until June 30, 2023. Professor Glenn Hibbard is taking leave. 

Jane joined the Department of Materials Science and Engineering in 2019 with a cross-appointment to the Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry (CHE) as an Associate Professor.
