The award was established in 2003 to recognize outstanding scientific and/or engineering work in fundamental or applied electrochemistry or solid-state science and technology by a young scientist or engineer.
Michael S. Arnold is currently a Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. There, he has directed the Advanced Materials for Energy and Electronics Group since 2008.
Arnold graduated summa cum laude from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a BS in Electrical Engineering in 2001. He earned his PhD in 2006 from Northwestern University in Materials Science and Engineering under Professors Mark Hersam and Sam Stupp.
Arnold conducted post-doctoral research at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor from 2006-2008 with Stephen Forrest. Arnold has been a recipient of the ECS Nanocarbons SES Research Young Investigator Award (2018); the National Science Foundation CAREER award (2014); the American Chemical Society Arthur K. Doolittle Award in Polymeric Materials Science and Engineering (2012); the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) – nominated by the U.S. Department of Defense, Army Research Office (2011); the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Early Career Research Award (2011); and a 3M Non-Tenured Faculty Award (2011, 2012, 2013). He was also a runner-up in the U.S. Department of State ASPIRE Competition (2017).
Arnold’s work addresses fundamental challenges – in controlling the growth, processing, ordering, and heterogeneity of nanomaterials and in understanding phenomena beyond the scale of single nanostructures – that must be overcome to exploit nanomaterials in technology. Arnold’s research has resulted in 100 journal publications and 15 patents/patent applications.
His talk was given at AiMES 2018 in Cancun, Mexico.
