>Biography:
>
>Angela Belcher is a materials chemist with expertise in the fields of
>biomaterials, biomolecular materials, organic-inorganic interfaces and
>solid state chemistry.  She received her B.S. in Creative Studies with an
>emphasis in biochemistry and molecular biology from The University of
>California Santa Barbara. She continued her education at UCSB and earned a
>Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry (1997) from The University of California Santa
>Barbara under the direction of Professors Galen Stucky and Daniel
>Morse.  Following a year of postdoctoral research in electrical engineering
>at UCSB with Professor Evelyn Hu, Belcher joined the faculty at The
>University of Texas at Austin in the Department of Chemistry and
>Biochemistry in 1999.  Belcher joined the faculty at MIT as the John
>Chipman Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and Biological
>Engineering. Belcher's interest focuses at interfaces, which includes the
>interfaces of scientific disciplines as well as the interfaces of
>materials. In her group at MIT, they are using Nature as a guide to make
>novel electronic and magnetic materials and to pattern materials on nano
>length scales.
>
>Some of Dr. Belcher's recent awards include 2003 Top 10 Innovators Under 40
>(Fortune Magazine), 2002 World Technology Award (Materials), 2002 Popular
>Science Brilliant 10, 2001 Packard Fellow, 2001 Alfred P. Sloan Research
>Fellow, 2000 Presidential Early Career Award for Science and Engineering
>(PECASE), 2000 Beckman Young Investigator Award, 1999 DuPont Young
>Investigator Award, 1999 Army Research Office Young Investigators Award.
>She currently heads the $50 million Institute for Collaborative
>Biotechnologies (ICB) partnership among MIT, the University of California
>at Santa Barbara (UCSB) and the California Institute of Technology.
