Professor Timothy P. Lodge has been named a Regents Professor by the University of Minnesota Board of Regents. Established in 1965 by the Board of Regents to recognize the national and international prominence of faculty members, the Regents Professorship is the highest honor the University of Minnesota bestows on its faculty. Lodge is a professor in the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science. He is a renowned polymer scientist and has served the University of Minnesota with distinction for three decades with an outstanding record of research, teaching and service. Formal recognition by the Board of Regents is scheduled for September.
In addition to his joint departmental appointment, Tim serves as director of the Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) in the College of Science and Engineering, leader of the Microstructured Polymers program in the Industrial Partnership for Research in Interfacial and Materials Engineering (IPRIME), and editor-in-chief of Macromolecules. He has received many professional honors, but is well know at the University of Minnesota for his teaching, development of instructional programs, and advising and mentoring of students. In 2012 he received the Postbaccalaureate, Graduate, and Professional Education Award as recognition of his instructional and advising involvements.

Plan to join us at the IPrime Annual Meeting on the University of Minnesota's Minneapolis, East Bank campus. 
University on the Mississippi 
Protein Stability and Biocatalysis (BB)
The Medical Devices Center (MDC) will hold its Design of Medical Devices Conference on April 8-11, 2013. Several IPrime faculty will present program lectures and representatives will participate in the exhibit session. Registration is now open.
IPrime faculty Michael Tsapatsis and his colleagues have engineered nanoscale lattices that can save money and energy in industrial processes. The lattice pores come in different sizes in order to separate mixes of chemicals, and contain pores that act like a molecular sieve, allowing only molecules below a certain size--or even just certain forms of the same molecule--to pass.

CEMS Professor and IPrime faculty Russell Holmes and his research team have developed a new approach exciton diffusion at the nanoscale in organic semiconductors. Read details in CEMS News and Nature.
The University of MN has been awarded a $1.8 million grant over three years from the Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) to develop revolutionary membrane technology that will enable energy-efficient separations in the chemical, petrochemical, water, fossil fuel, and renewable energy industries. Researchers include IPrime's Michael Tsapatsis and Chris Macosko (CEMS News). Full article: UMN News
