This is an e-mail to announce that Dr. Haiyu Fang and Nathan Nurse are the winners of the School of Chemical Engineering’s 2015 Citation Awards. The 2015 School of ChE Citation Award honors outstanding achievement by a Purdue Chemical Engineering graduate student who is the lead author on an article that has been cited the most times since 2013.

Nathan Nurse’s article, “Clipping of Flexible Tails of Histones H3 and H4 Affects the Structure and Dynamics of the Nucleosome,” in Biophysical Journal has been highly cited since it was published in March of 2013. Nathan is currently being advised by Dr. Yuan.

Haiyu Fang’s article, “Synthesis and Thermoelectric Properties of Compositional-Modulated Lead Telluride-Bismuth Telluride Nanowire Heterostructures,” in Nano Letters has been highly cited since it was published in May of 2013. Dr. Fang was advised by Dr. Wu and graduated from the School of ChE in December 2014. He is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Materials Research Lab at University of California at Santa Barbara under the supervision of Dr. Rachel Segalman. He is working on polymer/nanocomposite materials.

The School will honor Haiyu and Nathan at the Faculty Lectureship Award Lecture on Thursday, April 16^th, at 9 a.m. There will be a reception (with bagels and coffee) in the Atrium at 8:30 a.m. beforehand. All are invited to attend.
