Chemical engineering assistant professor named 2016 Emerging Investigator

Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering Da Deng was named a 2016 Emerging Investigator by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC).

42 researchers were selected by the Journal of Materials Chemistry A editorial board for carrying out work with potential to influence future directions in materials chemistry. Deng was nominated for his research on green materials for energy and environmental applications involving sustainable materials with a low environmental footprint.

"We are delighted by this recognition of the scholarly work of one of our junior faculty members by an international journal on materials science," said Guangzhao Mao, chair of the chemical engineering department.

The RSC is a leading chemistry community advancing excellence in the chemical sciences. Based in the United Kingdom, it has more than 50,000 members across the world.

Deng joined Wayne State University as an assistant professor in 2011 after serving in postdoctoral positions at Harvard and MIT.
