John has Ph.D. (2006) and S.M. (2002) degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a B.S.E (2000) degree from the University of Michigan, all in Mechanical Engineering. John received the 2006 MIT Senturia Prize for best doctoral thesis in micro/nano technology, and graduate fellowships from the Fannie and John Hertz Foundation, National Science Foundation, and MIT Martin Foundation. In 2008, John received a DARPA Young Faculty Award (for proposed research on energy harvesting using nanostructures), a R&D100 Award (for the SabreTube Desktop Thermal Processing System), and the Holcim Next Generation Award for Sustainable Construction (with Neri Oxman, for design of energy-saving responsive nanocomposite building skins). John recently received the 2009 American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Pi Tau Sigma Gold Medal, recognizing outstanding achievement within ten years of the baccalaureate degree; and the 2010 Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) Outstanding Young Investigator Award, recognizing exceptional contributions and accomplishments in the manufacturing industry. |
