Joseph A. Zasadzinski is an American chemical engineer and a professor of chemical engineering at the University of Minnesota where he holds the 3M Harry Heltzer Chair of Multidisciplinary Science and Technology since 2011.[1]
Education
[edit]He received a Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering from the California Institute of Technology in 1980. He was award a PhD in the same field after working under the supervision of professors Howard Davis and L. E. Scriven.[2] After receiving his doctorate, Zasadzinski spent a year as a post-doctoral fellow at the AT&T Bell Laboratories.
Career
[edit]In 1986, Zasadzinski joined the chemical engineering faculty at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He left UCSB in 2011 to return to the University of Minnesota to join the faculty there.[3]
Zasadzinski is on the editorial board of the Biophysical Journal.[4]
He was awarded the status of Fellow[5] in the American Physical Society,[6] after he was nominated by his Division of Biological Physics in 2008,[7] for "applying physical principles of self-assembly, directed assembly and bio-mimicry to create well-controlled lipid structures such as unilamellar vesicles and "vesosomes" for biomedical applications such as targeted drug-delivery vehicles and treatments for respiratory diseases, and for developing new microscopies."[7]
Awards
[edit]- 1993 Burton Award of the Microscopy Society of America[8]
- 2004 American Chemical Society Award in Colloid and Surface Science[9]
- 2008 Fellow of the American Physical Society, Division of Biological Physics[10]
- 2013 Avanti Award in Lipids of the Biophysical Society[11]
