Wake Forest chemistry professor Michael Gross has been named a National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program Award winner. The CAREER Award from the NSF Directorate for Engineering provides $500,000 over five years.

CAREER awards are the NSF's most prestigious award for junior faculty and are designed to help provide a foundation for a lifetime of scientific leadership. The awards are given to outstanding scientists who exemplify the role of teacher-scholars through research, education and the integration of education and research.

Gross seeks to create and preserve nanomaterials at incredibly high temperatures. His work provides a foundation for realizing more efficient, high-powered fuel cell technologies.

"I'm honored and excited," said Gross. "This award is a game-changer, not only for my personal career but for Wake Forest's new engineering program. The funds will support my research and, at the same time, they will benefit our inaugural class of engineering students as we work together to solve pressing issues in energy."

This year's awardees hail from 88 institutions across 34 U.S. states. They bring a diverse range of engineering expertise and thinking, essential components for innovation and the development of new technologies.

"The impacts of NSF early career awards extend well beyond the five years of the grant," said Barry Johnson, acting NSF assistant director for engineering. "CAREER grantees have thought about their research objectives, the knowledge they want to gather and the innovations they want to create over the long term. CAREER awards set in motion lifetime journeys of research for the investigators, and often for their students, too."

In January 2017, Wake Forest launched new academic programs in engineering and biomedical science The University's undergraduate presence, referred to as Wake Downtown, opened in the rehabilitated former R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company 60 series building in the Innovation Quarter, adjacent to the Bowman Gray Center for Medical Education.
