项目摘要

The National Science Foundation (NSF) named Dr. Baratunde Cola, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, as the 2017 Alan T. Waterman Award recipient. This award is NSF's highest honor that annually recognizes an outstanding researcher under the age of 35 and funds his or her research in any field of science or engineering. Dr. Cola pioneered contributions to the synthesis, characterization and understanding of nanostructured thermal interface materials. Dr. Cola is one of the most creative, productive, and innovative young scientists of his generation. He is recognized for interdisciplinary work spanning the fields of mechanical and electrical engineering, chemistry, and materials science to design new materials with novel thermal properties and functionality. An internationally known and prolific scholar, Cola has developed a distinctive research program that designs novel thermal interface materials, and enhances these materials with unprecedented thermal characteristics. Dr. Cola is revolutionizing the subject of thermal interfaces as he utilizes an array of novel methods to create materials displaying unparalleled properties. Recently, Cola's research resulted in the discovery of the first thermally conductive amorphous polymer; the first practical thermo-electrochemical cells for producing electricity from wasted heat using carbon nanotube electrodes; the first evidence of thermal energy conduction by surface photon polaritons, and the first complete depiction of thermal transport through carbon nanotube arrays to correspond with his seminal experimental data.In recognition of Dr. Cola's outstanding research contributions, he has received several awards, including, the ASME Bergles-Rohsenow Young Investigator Award (2015), Atlanta Business Chronicle's 40 under 40 (2015), National Academy of Sciences US Kavli Frontiers of Science Fellow (2014), National Academy of Engineering U.S. Frontiers of Engineering Education Symposium Fellow (2014, 2013), AAAS Early Career Award for Public Engagement with Science (2013), Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (2012), and NSF CAREER Award (2011). He holds 11 issued or pending patents related to energy transfer and nanotechnology, and is the founder of Carbice Nanotechnologies, of which he is CEO and Chairman.Dr. Cola has received funding as a PI from the Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental and Transport Systems (PECASE/CAREER award 1055479), the Division of Engineering and Education Centers (1407187), the Division of Industrial Innovation and Partnership (1561881, 1343265), and the Emerging Frontiers and Multidisciplinary Activities (1410572), all in the Engineering Directorate.

美国国家科学基金会 (NSF) 任命佐治亚理工学院机械工程副教授 Baratunde Cola 博士为 2017 年艾伦·T·沃特曼奖获得者。该奖项是 NSF 的最高荣誉，每年表彰 35 岁以下的杰出研究人员，并资助他或她在任何科学或工程领域的研究。 Cola 博士在纳米结构热界面材料的合成、表征和理解方面做出了开创性的贡献。可乐博士是他这一代中最具创造力、生产力和创新精神的年轻科学家之一。他因跨越机械和电气工程、化学和材料科学领域的跨学科工作而获得认可，以设计具有新颖热性能和功能的新材料。作为一位国际知名且多产的学者，Cola 开发了一项独特的研究计划，设计新颖的热界面材料，并以前所未有的热特性增强这些材料。 Cola 博士利用一系列新颖的方法来创造具有无与伦比特性的材料，从而彻底改变了热界面的主题。最近，可乐公司的研究发现了第一种导热非晶态聚合物；第一个实用的热电化学电池，利用碳纳米管电极利用废热发电；这是表面光子极化子热能传导的第一个证据，也是第一个通过碳纳米管阵列进行热传输的完整描述，与他的开创性实验数据相对应。为了表彰 Cola 博士的杰出研究贡献，他获得了多项奖项，包括 ASME Bergles-Rohsenow 青年研究员奖 (2015)、亚特兰大商业纪事报的 40 岁以下 40 人 (2015)、美国国家科学院 Kavli 科学前沿研究员（2014 年）、美国国家工程院美国工程教育前沿研讨会研究员（2014 年、2013 年）、美国科学促进会公众参与科学早期职业奖（2013 年）、科学家和工程师总统早期职业奖（2012 年）和美国国家科学基金会职业奖（2011 年）。他拥有 11 项与能量转移和纳米技术相关的已发布或正在申请的专利，并且是 Carbice Nanotechnologies 的创始人，并担任该公司的首席执行官兼董事长。 Cola 作为 PI 获得了化学、生物工程、环境和运输系统部（PECASE/CAREER 奖 1055479）、工程和教育中心部（1407187）、工业创新与合作部（1561881、1343265）以及新兴前沿和多学科活动部（1410572）的资助，这些部门均属于工程理事会。
