The MRS Awards Program strives to acknowledge outstanding contributors to the progress of materials research and to recognize their exciting and profound accomplishments. We seek to honor those whose work has already had a major impact in the field, who have defined the frontiers of the field, who are outstanding exponents of their science, and earlycareer researchers whose work already leads to great expectations for future leadership.
Adhesives business in 2018, after spending eight years as a research scientist with The Dow Chemical Company in Midland, Mich. Prior to joining DuPont, she was a National Science Foundation (NSF) American Competitiveness in Chemistry Postdoctoral Fellow with the Center for Enabling New Technologies Through Catalysis at the University of Washington, researching biomass conversion with professors Karen Goldberg and D. Michael Heinekey. Foskey is passionate about creating and implementing opportunities to educate and empower youth, and her leadership in STEM-related community outreach spans more than 15 years. Most
Foskey to receive MRS Impact Award

akiya J. Ahmed Foskey, DuPont, will receive the Materials Research Soceity (MRS) Impact Award “for leadership, mentoring and substantive contributions toward creating and organizing educational opportunities to prepare the next generation, in particular underrepresented and economically disadvantaged youth, to strive for STEM education and careers and to be role models in the future.” Foskey joined DuPont’s Transportation and Industrial
Rivnay to receive Outstanding Early-Career Investigator Award
J
onathan Rivnay, Northwestern University, has received the Outstanding Early-Career Investigator Award “for innovative research on organic semiconductor microstructure and charge transport for electronics and bioelectronics.” This award recognizes outstanding, interdisciplinary scientific work in materials research by an early-career scientist or engineer. The recipient must also show exceptional promise
as a developing leader in the materials area. Rivnay’s research group designs and develops new materials and devices to facilitate the seamless integration of sensing/ actuation technologies with biological cells and tissue to enable improvements in diagnosis and therapy. The group’s research focuses on active materials such as conducting polymers because of their synthetic tunability, soft mechanical properties, demonstrated stability and compatibility with biological tissue, and their ability to take on a broad range of form factors, from ultrathin and flexible to fibrous and scaffold-like. Rivnay is an assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at
recently, she served as the president of the Midland Chapter of the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers (NOBCChE), engaging families, teachers, community leaders, company executives, and colleagues in supporting and executing STEM programs in the Great Lakes Bay Region in Michigan, including science bowls, aft
