Congratulations to Prof. Khademhosseini for receiving the 2012 Curtis McGraw Award of the ASEE . This is a major award given to younger engineers (under the age of 40). The Curtis W. McGraw Research Award was established in 1957 to recognize outstanding early achievements by young engineering college research workers and to encourage the continuance of such productivity. The annual award is sponsored by the Engineering Research Council with the assistance of the McGraw-Hill Book Company. It is based on research activity in one or more types of research ordinarily carried on by engineering colleges or institutes of technology as well as achievement of important advances accepted by colleagues and by others in the field of specialization with emphasis on quality rather than quantity as well as sound and productive thinking and with a promise for making other significant contributions.
