Biography

Richard A. Register is Eugene Higgins Professor and Chair of the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Princeton University, where he previously served as Director of the Princeton Center for Complex Materials, a broad-based Materials Research Science and Engineering Center funded by the National Science Foundation. His research interests revolve around micro- and nanostructured polymers, such as block copolymers, polymer blends, semicrystalline polymers, and ionomers, ranging across their physics, synthesis,characterization, and applications. He was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2001; received the Charles M.A. Stine Award from the American Institute of Chemical Engineers in 2002; was honored with the Graduate Mentoring Award from Princeton University in 2008; and was named a Fellow of the American Chemical Society in 2012
