Northwestern Engineering’s Junsoo Kim has received a National Science Foundation CAREER Award, the foundation’s top honor for early-career faculty.

Kim will use the award to study why soft materials like gels and rubbers crack and wear out, with the goal of designing stronger, longer-lasting materials for applications such as medical devices, robotics, and flexible electronics.

Congrats, Junsoo!
