University of Florida chemist Austin Evans, Ph.D., has been selected for a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), which is the highest honor the U.S. government gives to early-career scientists and engineers.
The five-year award from the U.S. Department of Defense will support Evans’ research on next-generation polymeric materials with potential applications in electronics, space and other energy implications.
“These materials could enable the deployment of space-based electronics, which is currently limited by the materials we build,” Evans said. “To realize these future technologies, we need to advance polymer science.”
