Constantinos Mavroidis Translational Research Award

This Award recognizes and rewards an outstanding junior and senior College of Engineering researcher for accomplishments in applying research innovations to advance technology development. These research awards are established to confer honor upon individuals, who, by their contributions to their applied research, have brought recognition to themselves, the College and Northeastern University as an exemplar of our focus on experiential engineering education.

Eligibility

  • All full-time faculty and research staff in the College of Engineering are eligible.
  • Past recipients are not eligible for a period of five years after receiving the award.

All candidates must have:

  • demonstrated an ability to conduct original research at Northeastern;
  • developed innovative experimental techniques and/or instrumentation and/or novel invention;
  • received acceptance of applied research results by industry and/or government agencies in problem areas identified by those entities; and
  • achieved a technology development that shows promise of generating intellectual property interest by industry as demonstrated by metrics such as products developed, contracts for industrial funding, process adoption, licensing of copyrights and/or patents.

Selection

A committee will be appointed by the Dean of Engineering to select award recipients.

Nomination Process

Nominations may be initiated by College of Engineering faculty, research staff, and department chairs. Each nominator, however, may nominate only one junior and/or one senior employee for this award each year.
