Two young engineering faculty recognized
Two Berkeley Engineering faculty members were recognized with prestigious awards specifically designed to honor scientists in the early stages of their careers.
BioE professor Irina Conboy is one of only 12 young scholars nationally to be named an Ellison Medical Foundation New Scholar in Aging. The highly competitive recognition will support four years of basic biomedical research in age-related diseases and disabilities. A researcher in stem cell aging, Conboy received her Ph.D. in molecular and cellular immunology from Stanford and joined the Berkeley faculty in 2004. For more details, go to www.coe.berkeley.edu/labnotes/1005/conboy.html.
Oscar Dubon Jr. (M.S.’92, Ph.D.’96 MSE), MSE assistant professor and a researcher in the Materials Science Division at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, received the 2004 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), the nation’s highest honor for young scientists. On faculty since 2000, Dubon focuses on thin-film growth methods for semiconductor materials that address challenges in nanoscale electronics and spintronics.
