Professor Hendrik Heinz and his ����������ý�Ļ���Ʒ team, along with collaborators from University of California, Los Angeles, achieved a breakthrough that could boost clean energy production. The research was featured on the cover of the journal “Nature Catalysis” in July.

Hendrik Heinz, professor of chemical and biological engineering, has been awarded an International Association for Advanced Materials, Scientist Medal in recognition of his contributions to advanced materials, engineering and technology.

A team led by ChBE Professor Hendrik Heinz won a $2 million National Science Foundation award to develop reliable predictive models for hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites, which have the potential to usher in more efficient and affordable solar energy.

Current and former members of the Heinz Research Group have earned prestigious NASA Group Achievement Awards for their research centered on designing lightweight, high-strength materials aimed at reducing the costs of spaceflights. 

In a new review paper, a team of international researchers, including Hendrik Heinz, professor of chemical and biological engineering, have laid out how engineers are taking inspiration from the biological world—and designing new kinds of materials that are potentially tougher, more versatile and more sustainable than what humans can make on their own. Such nature-inspired materials could, one day, lead to new and better solar panels, soft robots and even coatings for hypersonic jets.

Professor Hendrik Heinz is the second ����������ý�Ļ���Ʒ faculty member chosen for the highly selective Amazon Scholar program.

Associate Professor Hendrik Heinz earned two prestigious distinctions recently: his election to the Senior Editor position for the ACS journal Langmuir and as a Fellow of the International Association of Advanced Materials (IAAM).
