ChE Seminar Series Presents: Steve Lustig

Associate Professor & Associate Chair of Research, Department of Chemical Engineering, Northeastern University, Boston, MA

Abstract: Not available at this time

Bio: Steve Lustig is an Associate Professor for the Department of Chemical Engineering at Northeastern University. He earned a BS in Chemical Engineering with Distinction from the University of Virginia in 1983. He then earned his MS in 1985 and PhD in 1989 from Purdue University. He joined the Chemical Engineering Department at Northeastern in 2016. His group seeks to design and manipulate molecular/materials chemistry and structure for new property discovery, new functionality and technology development by combining theory, high performance computing and experimental methods. Their theoretical methods frequently involve quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics, polymer physics, materials and biomolecular engineering. Their experimental methods frequently involve chemical synthesis, processing and characterizations: such as: microlithography, electrospinning, atomic force microscopy, spectroscopy, rheology and electroanalysis. They develop and implement powerful, multi-disciplinary tools to solve relevant problems with industry and national laboratories. He has also received awards such as the American Institute of Chemical Engineers Industrial Research & Development Institute Award, DuPont Central Research Accomplishment Award, DuPont TechCon Award, and DuPont Materials Science and Engineering Accomplishment Award.
