Claridge receives NSF CAREER grant
Shelley Claridge, assistant professor of chemistry and assistant professor of biomedical engineering at the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, has received a Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) grant from the National Science Foundation for her work titled, 'Standing, Lying, and Sitting: Restructuring Intermolecular Forces in Molecular Monolayers and Freshman Chemistry.'
The $675,000 grant will support Claridge's group's work to develop "bioinspired surface chemistry that tailors electronic properties and solubility of technologically important layered materials." The work holds the potential to improve applications ranging from high-efficiency solar cells to precision biosensors.
