Dan Giammar, the Walter E. Browne Professor of Environmental Engineering in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University, has been elected a fellow of the Class of 2024 Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors.

Postdoctoral research scholar Sade Williams Clayton works to advocate and build community for postdoctoral research trainees and others. She recently received a national award from the National Postdoctoral Association for her efforts.

Mark Lawrence and Ismael Seáñez, both assistant professors in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University, have won $25,000 Collaboration Initiation Grants from the school.

The Skandalaris Center for Interdisciplinary Innovation and Entrepreneurship awarded more than $125,000 in funding to WashU startups at its spring awards ceremony.

Cassandra M. Pruitt, MD, a professor of pediatrics, has been named director of the Division of Academic Pediatrics in the Department of Pediatrics at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.

Monica Shokeen, an associate professor of radiology at the School of Medicine and vice chair for diversity, equity, inclusion and justice at the School of Medicine’s Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology (MIR), was honored with the International Suffrage Science Award for Life Sciences.

In a study published recently in Advanced Materials, researchers from Washington University and the University of Southern California reveal a new pathway for designing optical materials using the degree of atomic disorder. The researchers anticipate developing crystals that enable advanced infrared imaging in low-light conditions or to enhance medical imaging devices.

Researchers at the School of Medicine have devised a method to gauge Alzheimer’s disease severity by analyzing the patterns of tau pathology in brain scans. The findings could lead to a way to determine how far the disease has progressed in individuals.

Students from Washington University brought home eight awards from the WERC Environmental Design Contest.
