2015 NSEF Leadership | AIChE

2015 NSEF Leadership

Message from Current Chair Zach Hilt: Since 2003, NSEF has provided a key forum within AIChE for members to exchange ideas and expertise in the area of nanoscale science and technology, and I have been honored to serve as chair of the forum for the past two years. As we move into the latter stages of 2014, I will be transitioning to past chair of NSEF. My tenure in office ends December 31st, and I will be succeeded by Jessica Winter.  For those who do not know Jessica, I hope you can meet her by joining us at the NSEF Reception & Awards Presentation (Wednesday, November 19, 2014, 7:00 - 9:00 pm, Hilton Atlanta Room 211) during the AIChE National Meeting in Atlanta.  She is an incredible person and will do an outstanding job as NSEF chair.  In addition to the chair position, a number of other NSEF officer positions are coming to a close.  The elections were just completed, and I am happy to announce our new officers for 2015-2016:

Vice chair:  Geoffry Bothun
Treasurer/Secretary:  Michael Harris
Directors (at-large members):  Hebab Quazi and Marc Keleman
