Kathleen Stebe is a scientist with areas of expertise in nanostructured materials, as well as surface and colloidal science.[1] She is also a professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at The University of Pennsylvania.[1][2]
Education
[edit]Stebe studied economics at the City College of New York as an undergraduate. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in economics in 1984. Following graduation she began studying in a PhD program at City College of New York.[3] She completed this program in 1989, obtaining her Master of Science in Engineering and PhD in chemical engineering[2] under the guidance of Charles Maldarelli.[4]
Career and research
[edit]After graduation from her PhD program, Stebe spent a year in Compiegne, France under Dominique Barthes Biesel.[3] Following her time in France, she became an assistant professor of Johns Hopkins University in 1991. In 1996, Stebe was promoted to an associate professor, and in 2000 she was given the title of professor of chemical and biomedical engineering at Johns Hopkins University, where she stayed until 2008.[5] After leaving Johns Hopkins, Stebe took on the role of department chair of chemical and biomolecular engineering at The University of Pennsylvania. In 2008, she became the Goodwin Professor of Engineering and Applied Science, and in 2012, she was awarded the position of deputy dean for research in the school of engineering and applied science, both positions she still holds today.[2][5]
Stebe's research is mainly focused on directed assembly in soft matter. Another primary research interests is non-equilibrium interfaces, with applications ranging from microfluidics to nanotechnology from an engineering viewpoint.[1][2]
