The faculty of the Department of Chemical Engineering have awarded George Degen the Schlinger Fellowship for Excellence in Chemical Engineering Research for the period 2019-20, as evidenced by publications, submitted manuscripts or other measures of impact. 

“We had many excellent applications this year, and I wish that we had more awards to give," said M. Scott Shell, Department of Chemical Engineering Professor and Vice Chair for Graduate Education. "Wishing George and all of our graduate students continued creativity, discovery, and success in their doctoral studies.”

Established through a generous gift from Warren and Katharine Schlinger, the award recognizes outstanding accomplishments in doctoral research in Chemical Engineering. The Fellowship is open to all graduate students in their fourth or fifth year of the doctoral program in the Chemical Engineering Department at UC Santa Barbara, and is not restricted to any particular areas of research.
